For starters\, there is an immediate trustworthiness associated with thought leaders that will increase your influence as you are perceived as someone who "knows" and who "cares."

Social Media seemed to change that with everyone being able to create their own platform to establish thought leadership. However\, this created its own problem. With more than 150 million blogs and more than 50 million people on Twitter\, how do you ensure that you are heard? In this talk\, #THINKtweet series editor and successful entrepreneur Rajesh Setty will cover what it takes to build thought leadership in this new world. About the Presenter: Rajesh Setty is an entrepreneur\, author and speaker based in Silicon Valley. Rajesh currently serves as the president of Suggestica\, Inc. and chairman of Jiffle\, Inc.
