“I do not want my picture in your offices – the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait.?Hang your kids’ photos instead and look at them each time you are making a decision.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, 2019 Inaugural Address.

Note: Sometimes in marketing, tragedies are taken advantage of for personal gain, likes, visibility and making money. I call this ugly practice "tragedy-jacking".

In light of that, if you happen to check out my profile and want to explore my services only because of this post, I will see if I can refer you to someone else. I'm not taking any business that possibly will come from this article. Gaining business is not the point. The point is awareness, sharing great resources and showing a little about what the LinkedIn community is saying and doing.
