Quote: “Staying ahead in executive branding means diving into where thought leadership lives: LinkedIn. It's my go-to for spotting trends, seeing what content performs, and how top leaders position themselves. I also keep tabs on newsletters like Marketing Brew or Fast Company, which highlight fresh takes on leadership branding and personal PR. The key? Watching how execs turn their experiences into stories that resonate—it’s the ultimate masterclass in staying relevant and relatable.”
