Session: Have a voice to be visible in the crowd
LinkedIn has more than 1bn active users, yet only 3% of them posts anything actively and ONLY 1 % does so regularly once a week.In tech industry even less people want to show themselves out there, especially women feel they do not want to be seen as "influencers" or "showing off" . I want to debunk this notion and share why we must be heard in order to be visible and appreciated for who we are and what we know. Just working hard without sharing your knowledge & ideas will not open to us the door we want to open.
I will share in my talk 3 points:
1) who gets attention to be listen to and why you don't have to be quiet even if your title is not a Senior/VP/C-level
2) how to start small and start today (I will show you what you can share today and how and debunk all the doubts you might have on this subject)
3) why what you know today already is valuable and how to find the right audience to appreciate it
Bonus topic: How to engage and influence a busy CTO, CIO or any other C-level whether on social media platform or in a meeting
Key Takeaways
- Everyone can start today sharing what knowledge they have today
- Women tend to think we don't know "enough" I will share 1) why and how you already know enough today to share and show up as an expert 2) what you do every day in your job we do not know and do not do. You have already have skills we want to hear about
- Lastly, how we can provide value to others and why value is so important in any meeting we are in, pitch we do, call we have. You need to bring value to be heard and do it fast
