Becoming a Thought Leader

Thought Leadership is the intangible quality that an individual or group attains, when the public looks to them for guidance and advice on topics of importance. The Thought Leaders for illness and disease are medical doctors. The Thought Leaders for leaky pipes and clogged toilets are plumbers. The Thought Leaders for getting healthy and staying well without drugs or surgery are...CHIROPRACTORS! This may not be the natural train of thought for most people, but according to Dr. Guy Riekeman, President of Life University in Marietta, GA, this is the role that Doctors of Chiropractic need to take in the 21st century. Speaking to a group of about 40 members and guests of the Georgia Chiropractic Association District 1 in Sandy Springs Tuesday evening, Dr. Riekeman extolled the group that the chiropractic profession needs to start to engage the public and key decision makers on matters that involve getting healthy and staying well naturally. As the cultural authority of chiropractic continues to build, then the chiropractors will become the "Go-To" profession for advice and help. Pictured are Dr. James E. Schantz, President of GCA District I and Dr. Guy Riekeman, President of Life University.
