Inclusive Thought Leadership
LinkedIn
June 22, 2023
Who are the thought leaders in your organization? Assuming you know that term, I'm asking you to think about who delivers thought leadership in your organization. I do a lot of speaking and writing on this topic, and the common answers are the founder, the leader, the C-suite. It's the executives, you know, the people at the top.

How to Start Over
LinkedIn
December 27, 2022
Starting over can be daunting, but it can also be exciting and empowering. It's all about how you approach it and how you conduct yourself as you make your decisions and pursue that dream or goal.
2023 is nearly upon us, and I wish you strength, courage and optimism for the coming year.
Go after those goals, including those you have tried to achieve in the past and for whatever reason, they didn't happen the first time.

A Great Gift for Your Clients
LinkedIn
December 23, 2022
It's holiday season, and I've thought of a great gift for your clients:
Your expertise packaged up in a neat little parcel called a book.
OK, so this may be NEXT year's holiday present to your clients. If you're thinking about writing a book but haven't yet taken the plunge, it's time to consider what it involves and where it could lead! If you start your book project in the next few weeks or months, you could be gifting it to people in time for the holidays, or even sooner.
They are Waiting for You
LinkedIn
September 30, 2022
How do you find your ideal clients? That's a trick question. Your ideal clients find you, but only if you make it easy for them.
This week, I'm sharing my thoughts on how to help your ideal clients know about you and know if you are right for them - and if they are the right ones for you.
Life is short and we are all too valuable to waste valuable time pitching to or working with clients who are not the very best fit for us!
The Rules of Influence Have Changed
LinkedIn
September 23, 2022
These past few months have been challenging for so many people, with uncertainty in the economy, widespread mental and physical health concerns, and the world in general. Of course, life and business still needs to go on, but the after-effects of the pandemic seem to have left people a little more fragile and hesitant to make decisions, follow through with plans and keep commitments to themselves and others.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
LinkedIn
September 09, 2022
Yesterday, the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the world lost an iconic leader. Whatever your views on the monarchy, The Queen lived a life of purpose and service and is an inspiration to many. She accepted her role graciously, at a challenging time in this nation’s history, and she stepped up time and time again to do whatever was required of her.

How Do You Celebrate Challenges?
LinkedIn
July 15, 2022
This week has brought some big challenges, and yet I am challenging myself to find things to celebrate. Not just deal with the issues but actually celebrate.
Do you do this?
I'd love to hear how you choose to celebrate the good things in life, especially when there is a lot of tricky stuff to navigate.
Bring out the little kid in you. Challenge yourself to add fun and maybe a bit of silliness to your day. You may have to get out of your comfort zone to do this. And most of all, recognize, celebrate and encourage the fun-loving people in your network and in your life.

The "Me" You Never See
LinkedIn
July 01, 2022
Everyone tells you that you must share your personality in your marketing and online, to help people get to know, like and trust you. As I’m fond of saying, people don’t engage with a page. But how do you know what to share, or how much to share? Some people seem to find it easy to share very intimate details about their personal lives and experiences, but others find it excruciatingly challenging.

Listen to The Stones
LinkedIn
June 24, 2022
I wanted to write a tribute to the iconic rock band The Rolling Stones to celebrate the fact that it’s been 60 years since they originally formed (can you believe it?). However, I am not a music expert and I’m sure I wouldn’t do justice to the incredible impact and legacy this band had had, and continued to have, on millions of people worldwide.

I wish you a great month ahead, and renewed commitment to your highest values.

3 Benefits of Boring Books

April 29, 2022
If you read a lot of books, you may find the occasional (or perhaps not so occasional) book that is simply… boring. I’ve certainly encountered a few of them myself. Of course, that’s just my opinion but having worked in the book business for 20 years, it’s also my professional opinion.

Thoughtful Leaders Create Content with Love

Thoughtful leadership is about more than disruptive ideas. Of course, that's a big part of it, but the real magic happens when the thoughtful creator puts more time and care into the thinking that goes into sharing those ideas.
Giving Extra Attention to People from Under-Represented Groups
LinkedIn
March 13, 2021
Earlier today, I saw a live video where someone was presenting leadership, business and personal development books they love and recommend. As the video progressed, I became aware that every one of the 25 books was authored by a man, except one written by a non-white male author.
Have you been reflecting on the current situation and its challenges? Have you been wondering how to extract some meaning from everything going on, and create a more positive approach towards life?
I personally believe there is meaning in suffering and that we always have a choice how we respond to everything that happens, and every situation in which we find ourselves.
Perhaps this IS the situation in which we find ourselves...
When One Door Closes...

December 07, 2023
When one door closes, another opens, right? Not necessarily, and if what you want is on the other side of the closed door, don’t just give up and wait or hope for another opportunity to present itself. I’ve discovered there are many things you can do when a door closes, including pushing on that door, knocking louder, and even banging on it. Or gently turning the handle in case it isn't locked. In other words, persistence
"Does Mindy Still Do Books?"

However, The Book Midwife is still an important part of The Thoughtful Leader brand family, and after 21 years and 1000+ author clients, it is still going strong
Yes, there is an "I" in "Team" !
LinkedIn
September 21, 2023
Yes, there is an I in ‘team’ and this could be a game changer for your business.
How many times have you heard the cliché “There’s no 'I' in ‘team’”? To me, this means we should put the team first, get everyone singing off the same hymn sheet, and shut down selfish or self-serving behavior. A cohesive team is essential and businesses rely on everyone pulling together in the same direction.
Thoughtful Leadership in a Digital World
Bookboon
April 30, 2021
The business world and the society in general could do with more thoughtful leadership, but there’s a lack of understanding as to how to be more thoughtful. Leaders are sometimes out of their depth, faced with challenging team members and demanding stakeholders.
Coupled with the fact that business seems to be moving and changing faster than ever, thinking carefully about ideas, issues and people can seem like a nice-to-have, when it is more critical than ever.
Thoughtful leadership involves consideration – of ideas and people – and there are specific strategies to improve in this area.
This book shows the reader exactly how to create a thoughtful leadership strategy that gets results.

Why Thought Leadership is More Important than Ever
Emerald Insight - Strategic Direction
February 13, 2009
The purpose of this paper is to introduce executives to the idea of creating a writing and publishing strategy as part of their public relations (PR) and profile building
The paper provides a perspective on creating an executive writing and publishing strategy – why and how to do it.
The paper reveals that business leaders who write and publish have a higher profile and hence more business opportunities than their competitors
The practical implications are how to view writing and publishing as part of the marketing mix; how to organize one's ideas into a coherent plan; and how to maximize the return on investment of time and effort.
This paper is based on a proven methodology (ten years in practice, 100+ books and articles produced by business leaders). In a competitive market, executives have a hard enough time keeping their eye on the business and the bottom line. In times of stress, many people forget about marketing and strategic marketing of the company's top executives is rarely done. It is a well known fact that people buy from people, and top executives are starting to realize the importance of being seen and heard, and sharing personal views on key issues. A good writing and publishing strategy is the most effective way to do this and leading writing and publishing strategist Mindy Gibbins‐Klein shares her best ideas in this timely article.

Mindy Gibbins-Klein: How To Become A Thought(ful) Leader
YouTube
July 12, 2021
(From the interview)
You can get a pop star or somebody being an INFLUENCER and they're not necessarily a THOUGHT LEADER.
You must ACHIEVE these four things, otherwise, it's unlikely you'll be a thought leader:
(R)each, (E)ngagement, (A)uthority, and (L)ongevity
Unless you push and push and push yourself and challenge yourself and keep yourself to a VERY HIGH STANDARD, you're not going to get to that real gem of an idea.
An article or a blog is not thought leadership unless it's truly INTERESTING, EXCITING, DIFFERENT, ORIGINAL, DISRUPTIVE and you know, making heads turn.
