New Year, New LinkedIn Profile? ????? There’s nothing like a speaking opportunity to get me thinking about my LinkedIn presence. It’s time for a glow up and just in time for the panel discussion I’m doing THIS Thursday at 11am (ET). I’m sharing the stage with Catlin O'Shaughnessy Coffrin, who (if you don’t already know her, you should!) is a wealth of wisdom and insight. We’ll be talking about how to upscale your LinkedIn profile. Cat and I will answer questions like: ???Why do you need to focus on your LI presence, even if you’re not actively on the job market or dreaming of a promotion? ???How can you be open and authentic without being awkward or feeling like you’ve revealed too much? ???Should you even be posting your own thoughts and opinions if you work for a company? The conversation will be geared towards academics and non-profit leaders, as well as STEM and tech folks. But it’s open to ANYONE. This panel discussion is part of a series hosted by Dr. Mira Brancu through her Towerscope Leadership Academy (TLA). Here’s some info about that amazing program: TLA is an international leadership development community membership. As part of Towerscope's social impact division, TLA offers cost-conscious comprehensive leadership coaching, training, mentoring, and a safe, private online platform for women-identifying members. Community members typically come from disrupted learning and innovation industries (e.g., healthcare, academic, STEM, and tech) and identify as socially conscious, high-achieving, growth-oriented, and purpose-driven. As such, there's a strong contingency of introverted leaders, organizational misfits, marginalized leaders, and reluctant leaders among our members. Curious? Join us on Thursday to get a taste of how it works. #event #linkedin #personalbranding #personaldevelopment #towerscopeleadershipacademy

We are excited to introduce our virtual guest panel series, hosted by the Towerscope Leadership Academy ! Our first one is focused on overachievement, burnout, wellness, and resiliency. What is the connection between these? How can overachievers avoid the pitfalls associated with the pursuit of success and numerous interests? How can we find ways to set a sustainable pace, manage stress, and better track our burnout signals well before it leads to mental, physical, or emotional exhaustion (and even harm)? These are the discussions we'll be exploring with our guest panel! You will learn, gain insights, and also take away at least one digital tool to help you take another step forward with this topic. The three speakers will share their experiences for about 35 minutes and then participants will have an opportunity to ask the speakers questions during a Q&A portion. Sponsors: This event is co-sponsored by Towerscope (and the Towerscope Leadership Academy) and Inner Workout.

#GratitudePost I am nearing completion of Towerscope Leadership Academy's FUEL program to further my professional development as a leader. In addition to the didactic content, learning assignments, office hours, and built-in accountability (shout out to Micah Taylor, M.S. ??), TLA also provides additional workshops and learning opportunities. Most recently, I attended the “7 C’s of Personal Branding” workshop led by Brooke Huckabee. This workshop drove home the importance of being wholly and fully authentic in all the spaces. Thank you to all the wonderful, generous, and gracious leaders I've met through this community, especially Dr. Mira Brancu for putting it all together.
