How can thought leaders use their voices to drive change? Being anti-racist means taking risks. If you really want to use your voice to create change, you have to start taking risks and speaking boldly.
I used to treasure the “margins” in my day. I carved out time alone to think and brainstorm. I needed a lot of headspace. That’s not a reality I can achieve during the pandemic, but I’m getting better at finding the space for creative thinking and deep work, even if it’s in fits and starts.
Thought leadership is about thinking in public. I’m inspired by beacons, curators, and challengers who are thinking in public and showing their work.
Not feeling very creative right now? You’re not alone. But sometimes, creative constraints can actually be useful. No budget? No team? No time? How could you find inspiration (not desolation!) from those limits?
