I used to hate hearing about 'building a personal brand' - all I thought was Instagram dancing and breakfast selfies 🤦‍♀️😂. But I get it now: it's just having a rep beyond your company/department. 1/ I get more straightforward projects. 2/ In AI times, humans with real experience are valued. 3/ If the world changes, my skills and audience stay with me. So, what about you? Do you bother with social media or whatever? Let me know! #PersonalBrand #SocialMedia #CareerAdvice

I used to roll my eyes at the phrase 'personal branding' but I get it now. It's just having a reputation that goes beyond your office or company. I work hard on mine because: orders and collabs come to me, not the other way around. Employers value real people with real experience. And, it's a safety net that stays with me. So, do you believe in social media or not? #PersonalBranding #SocialMedia #CareerAdvice

I used to roll my eyes at 'personal branding' talk, but now I get it. To me, it's just having a reputation that precedes me beyond my workplace. Here's why I'm into it: I get more straightforward job offers, my human experience is valuable in an AI world, and my audience will stay with me no matter what. So, do you believe in personal branding? Do you develop your online presence or don't even bother? #PersonalBranding #CareerAdvice #SocialMedia

Why Women Settle for Less in Negotiations: 3 Core Barriers

1. Bidding Against Themselves

When entering a negotiation, women often ask for what they assume the other party will readily agree to, rather than putting their actual goals or worth on the table. They pre-compromise before the conversation even begins.
