| Description | Satchel Paige said "Don't look back! They may be gaining on you." If that's how you feel about your competition, you need better differentiation. Differentiating yourself from the pack is fundamental to your value proposition. Undifferentiated, you can only compete based on price, and that puts you out of business. Properly differentiated, you increase your value and your compensation. Let Gerald Sindell show you how to Photoshop your competition right out of the picture. 1. Dig into your identity and fill in any gaps in your IP. 2. Choose your mountain: define success. 3. Create your reality. 4. Implement internally and to the world. 5. Integrate systems to keep yourself in the lead. You'll take away a map of the Differentiation Forward process for individual consultants, their organizations, and their clients' organizations. About the Speaker Gerald Sindell, Founder of Thought Leaders International, is best known as an internationally recognized intellectual property consultant, with clients in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
