Amplify Your Brand Image by Writing Books with Roberta Matuson

I have known Roberta Matuson for over ten years. I have witnessed her remarkable journey from a start-up consulting business owner to an established expert with five published books and author of articles featured in Fast company, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Forbes. She is an expert in helping organizations identify, acquire, nurture and retain the best talent in the world.

I invited Roberta on Enough Already as part of my series on Getting Seen and Paid as an Expert because she has established a clear brand position and leveraged her natural ability into thought leadership. And most importantly, we could all learn a thing or two from Roberta's new book, "Can We Talk?" about the importance of having hard conversations in business and life.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How Roberta leverages her natural ability to make her the unquestionable expert in the minds of her clients. 
• Why we need to learn to have hard conversations to get results.
• Why we should tailor communication to the person we are communicating with.
• Roberta's evolution from C-Suite exec, consultant, to sought-after thought-leader.
• Why thought leaders and consultants must continue to learn to stay relevant.

Next steps:

• Buy "Can We Talk?" on Amazon or wherever you buy books.
• Reach out to [email protected] if you'd like to work with her.
• Schedule an appointment with me to gain clarity on positioning yourself as a thought leader like Roberta.
