Book description:You've seen them everywhere-on the covers of books and magazines, quoted in newspaper articles, interviewed on the radio and TV. They are the “thoughtleaders,” the high-profile professionals who rise above everyone else in their field to become the go-to experts in all forms of media.
Ken Lizotte, CMC, Chief Imaginative Officer (CIO) of emerson consulting group inc. (www.thoughtleading.com), is a long-time thought-leader who has been interviewed or profiled by many media, including BusinessWeek, Fortune, Newsweek, Writer's Digest, CBS News, and National Public Radio.
Ken's consulting firm transforms companies, executives, professional service firms, solo consultants, attorneys, and law firms into thoughtleaders, separating them from their competition and lifting their businesses to new heights.
A former columnist for the American Management Association and a cofounder of the National Writers Union, Ken has authored four previous books and hundreds of published articles. He speaks regularly on such topics as becoming a thoughtleader, publishing books and articles, balancing work and family, personal creativity, and discovering your “dream career.” An expert at leading interactive seminars, he has been facilitating business/career workshops at the Harvard University Extension School since 1995.
President of the New England chapter of IMC USA (the Institute of Management Consultants) from 2000 to 2005, he is a current member of IMC USA's national Board of Directors and has earned its prestigious “CMC” (Certified Management Consultant) credential, a mark that designates the highest standards of consulting professionalism and adherence to its ethical canons. Less than 1 percent of all consultants worldwide have achieved this enviable level of performance and certification.
Ken lives in Concord, Massachusetts, within jogging distance of the historic homes of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louisa May Alcott, and a short amble from Henry David Thoreau's cabin at Walden Pond.
