๐ My Big Move & The Power of Visibility
I have to share something with you allโafter 7 incredible years, Iโm making a big moveโIโm leaving Korn Ferry.
They say the seven-year itch is real, and while itโs usually about relationships, careers arenโt that different. Walking away from something Iโve built, at the top of my game, wasnโt easy. But if thereโs one thing Iโve learned over the years, itโs this:
๐ก The biggest career moves happen when you bet on yourself.
And thatโs exactly what Iโm doing.
Over the last few years, Iโve invested heavily in my visibilityโon LinkedIn, TikTok, my newsletter, and beyond. That exposure didnโt just build a followingโit built opportunities. It gave me the confidence to write a book ๐, launch a podcast ๐๏ธ (details coming soon!), and step into new ventures that align with my vision.
So if youโre thinking about betting on yourself, hereโs my best advice: ๐ GET VISIBLE.
Your LinkedIn is your digital business card, and when you use it strategically, you attract inbound requests, speaking gigs, job offers, and career-changing connections.
๐ผ Full-Proof LinkedIn Strategies to Unlock New Opportunities (ChatGPT Prompts for LinkedIn belowโฆ)
๐น Optimize Your Profile Like a Pro โจ
โ
Headline โ Go beyond your job title. Make it clear who you help and how you add value.
โ
About Section โ This is your personal pitch. Use storytelling to show your expertise and impact. (Trust meโฆit will help with their search algorithm)
โ
Featured Section โ Highlight major wins (press mentions, thought leadership, top posts, etc.).
โ
Profile & Banner โ A professional, high-quality image builds trust instantly.
๐น Post With Purpose ๐
You donโt need to post every day, but quality matters more than quantity.
โ
Share industry insights, career tips, or leadership lessons.
โ
Storytelling works โ People connect with real experiences, not just corporate speak.
โ
Mix text posts, carousels, and short videos to maximize engagement.
๐น Engage & Be Seen ๐
Your network is your net worth. Get on peopleโs radar by:
โ
Commenting thoughtfully on high-visibility posts.
โ
Reaching out with genuine DMsโnot just โHi, letโs connect.โ
โ
Sharing and tagging others (without spamming).
๐น Be Consistent โณ
Building visibility is a long game. The people who win are the ones who show up week after week. Consistency builds credibility.
I bet on myself because I saw firsthand what visibility can doโand now, I want you to do the same.
And for those wonderingโyes, Iโm still in executive search ๐. Helping companies find top talent and guiding executives to land their next big role is what I love. Thatโs not changing. But this next chapter? Itโs about expanding, building, and creating something even bigger.
Stay tunedโBIG things ahead. ๐๐ฅ

๐What I Read This Weekโฆ
โ Didnโt Get That Promotion? How to Turn โNoโ Into Opportunity
Getting passed over for a promotion stingsโespecially in a tough job market. But before you start scrolling job boards, this article breaks down why staying put with a strategy might actually be the best move.
The key takeaway? Leverage your near-miss. Even if you didnโt get the job, your company sees potential in youโso use that as negotiation power. Smart professionals are securing mentors, retention bonuses, high-impact projects, and even executive coaching to boost their visibility for the next opportunity.
๐ก Pro tip: The best time to ask for what you want is immediately after hearing "no"โmost people hate rejecting someone twice in a row.
If youโve ever faced a career setback, this read is for you. Check out the full article here: Didnโt Get That Promotion? How to Turn โNoโ Into Opportunity
