Become a Thought Leader
Turn Ideas Into Influence
To book more business, you need to be seen as a credible thought leader. The Social Research Lab specializes in working with speakers and consultants to turn your ideas into science.
What We Do
Data Analysis
Add original data to a program or book that already exists. Stop citing other people and start being a thought leader!
Hypothesis Validation
Prove that your system works (or find out that it doesn’t). Scientifically validating tools that you already use gives you an advantage over others in your industry!
Idea Actualization
Go from brainstorm to original IP that aligns with your business in 6 months. You have a great idea, it’s time to test it out!
5-Step Thought Leader Program
Step One: Immersive Learning
We dig deep into your content and get to know your message inside and out through structured interviews, material review, and internet sleuthing.
Step Two: Objective Mapping
We use our unique Objective Mapping process to align this project with your most important business objectives to ensure maximum ROI.
Step Three: Scientific Synthesis
We search out the most important and relevant scientific studies about your topic… and condense them into a format that a real human might want to read. This provides direction for our research and content for your products.
Step Four: Data Collection
We take everything we’ve learned about your business, your objectives with this project, and the existing science to create customized research tools and collect the quantitative and qualitative data that will yield the best IP.
Step Five: Actionable Insights
We package up all that science in a deliverable that makes the most sense for you and your audience. We specialize in making good science easily understandable.

How original research can establish your credibility
Hear from Our Clients
Thinking of doing a survey to create original research for a new book, keynote speech or other purpose? If yes, I highly recommend partnering with the Social Research Lab at University of Northern Colorado. I did and wow, they were great! They helped me design the survey, administer it and receive the results in a way I could use it. My research on office influence was greatly enhanced by their knowledge, expertise, tools and process.

The Social Research Lab operated professionally with confidentiality. Your services have been very beneficial. The feedback from the surveys has been used to create goals for the administrative team and to receive general feedback from the staff. I would recommend your services to all schools and school districts, especially charter schools…

The literature review itself was priceless to me. I didn’t even know there was going to be a comprehensive literature review because it is my least favorite thing to do and I am just not good at it.

Once again, the Social Research Lab has knocked it out of the park!

We all have a perception of what we’re doing and how well we’re doing it. It is beneficial to any organization to get a clear view to either confirm the perception or to see if there is perhaps some mission creep or whether off track completely…
