Shape how you're perceived by the audiences that matter

The best way to establish authority is to demonstrate it. Thought leadership gives you a platform to share your perspective, build credibility and position yourself as the expert your prospects are looking for.

Why thought leadership matters

Your expertise lives in your head. Your track record lives in your files. But unless you translate that knowledge into content that reaches the right people, it's not doing the work it could be doing for your business.

Thought leadership is how you make your expertise visible. It's how a litigation partner becomes the go-to voice on a practice area. It's how a CEO becomes synonymous with an industry trend. It's how a firm moves from "one of many" to "the one everyone knows."

If you're not shaping the conversation, someone else is.

And in an era when AI models are learning who the authorities are in every field, the content you create today shapes how you'll be perceived tomorrow.

What this looks like in practice

Op-eds and bylined articles

Original pieces that establish your point of view on issues that matter to your audience. I handle everything from ideation to drafting to placement in publications your prospects actually read.

Speeches and presentations

Keynote remarks, conference presentations and panel talking points that position you as a leader. Written to sound like you, not like they were written by committee or AI.

Executive messaging

Defining and refining how you talk about yourself, your firm and your work. The foundation for everything from LinkedIn profiles to board presentations to media interviews.

LinkedIn and professional content

Strategic content that builds your presence on the platforms where your prospects and peers spend time. Authentic voice, consistent presence, measurable engagement.

Award nominations

Identifying the right awards and crafting submissions that win. Industry recognition builds credibility and creates opportunities for additional visibility.

Speaking opportunities

Identifying conferences, panels and podcasts where your voice belongs, then helping you land those opportunities and prepare to make the most of them.

How we work together

Thought leadership should sound like you, not like a ghostwriter. Here's how I capture your voice while handling the heavy lifting.

1

Discovery

We identify your unique perspective, target audiences and the topics where you can add genuine value.

2

Conversation

A focused interview where I capture your ideas, stories and point of view in your own words.

3

Drafting

I write a complete draft that sounds like you, not like a consultant. You review and refine.

4

Placement

I pitch the piece to editors, manage the submission process and shepherd it to publication.

What makes this different

I actually write

Some consultants advise on thought leadership but don't do the writing. I draft the content myself, from first outline to final polish.

I know what gets published

Years as a journalist and editor taught me what op-ed pages and trade publications actually want. I write to get accepted, not just to fill a content calendar.

I handle placement

Writing is half the job. I pitch editors, navigate submissions and follow up until your piece finds its home.

Voice preservation

The goal is content that sounds like you wrote it yourself. I capture your perspective and cadence so your content is authentically you, not your PR team.

Strategic intent

Every piece serves a purpose. We start with your business objectives and work backward to content that advances them.

AI-era awareness

The content you publish shapes how AI models perceive your expertise. I help you build a body of work that establishes authority for both human and AI audiences.

This works best for

Executives building a profile

Leaders who want to be known for something specific and are ready to invest in establishing their voice.

Firms establishing authority

Organizations that want to own a category or be recognized as the leader in a practice area or market.

Leaders with a point of view

People who have something to say and the expertise to back it up, but need help saying it effectively.
