Do you feel like you're invisible in your organization while watching your more outgoing colleagues get all the recognition and opportunities? You're working just as hard, delivering great results, but somehow you're always overlooked for promotions, speaking opportunities, or that next big project. Maybe you've been told you need to "put yourself out there more" but the thought of networking events and self-promotion makes your skin crawl. Here's the truth: being an introvert in the social media and marketing world doesn't have to be a career limitation—it can actually be your secret weapon.
That's exactly what today's guest, Goldie Chan, is here to help us understand. Goldie is the founder of Warm Robots, a personal branding consultancy, and the author of "Personal Branding for Introverts." As a LinkedIn Top Voice with over 97,000 followers, she's built one of the most recognizable personal brands on the platform while helping countless introverted professionals do the same. Goldie became a pioneer in LinkedIn video content when the feature was still in beta, and she's navigated building her authentic personal brand through life's biggest challenges, including a very public cancer journey, proving that vulnerability and authenticity are actually superpowers in the digital age.
Social Pulse Podcast host Mike Allton asked Goldie Chan about:
