Listen "490 - What Kind of Content Should I Create for My Personal Brand?"
Episode Synopsis
Creating content isn’t the problem.Creating relevant content is.In this episode, we explore a common question for CEOs: “What kind of content should I create for my personal brand?”1. Start with the goal.If you don’t know where you’re going, your content won’t get you there.Are you positioning for partnerships, future board roles, customer trust, or internal leadership? Your outcome defines your message.2. Think value-first, not visibility-first.Your audience doesn’t need noise. They need clarity.Every piece of content should answer a fundamental question your ideal audience is asking and show them how you think.3. Separate thought leadership from influence.Influencers entertain.CEOs guide.You’re not here to follow trends, you’re here to lead conversations that matter to your industry.4. Your story matters, but it needs a filter.Start with your superpower.Then your values.Then your audience.When you align all three, your content becomes more than communication; it becomes positioning.Conclusion:Content is leveraged, but only if it’s connected to strategy.This episode provides a simple lens to make smarter choices, reduce noise, and lead with purpose.Listen to the full 60-second hint.Then ask yourself: Who needs to see me, and what do they need to understand about me to say yes?Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Crafting Content for Your Personal Brand00:08 Understanding Your Audience's Needs00:22 Thought Leadership vs. Influencer Content00:43 Focusing on Thought Leadership00:45 Avoiding Influencer Trends00:50 Final Thoughts: Applying Your StrategyLinks:===========================Equipment and Software I Use for My Videos and Podcasts Jens Equipment and Software overview: https://www.jensheitland.com/equipment===========================Books that I read and recommend.My Book Recommendations: https://www.jensheitland.com/books===========================Here are the ways to work with me:Speaking: https://www.jensheitland.com/speakingLeadership Skills Assessment: https://www.wearesucceed.com/===========================Connect with me!
