Welcome to another insightful episode of The Power of Owning Your Career podcast! This week, host Simone E. Morris is joined by Goldie Chan—dubbed “The Oprah of LinkedIn,” acclaimed author of Personal Branding for Introverts, and founder of the award-winning social strategy agency Warm Robots.
In this vibrant conversation, Goldie shares her inspiring and unconventional career journey—from dreaming of being a classroom teacher, to running a fashion brand in her twenties, to ultimately becoming a marketing powerhouse and global keynote speaker with nearly half a million followers. Goldie gets candid about her “accidental” entry into marketing, the power of self-discovery, and how small, strategic career moves (even those that seem “beneath” you) can fuel a powerful comeback.
Goldie and Simone delve into the realities of navigating career pivots, rebuilding after setbacks such as layoffs or serious illness, and how Goldie’s cancer journey has reshaped her entire approach to work and self-worth. The episode digs deep into the critical distinction between mentorship and sponsorship, and why confidently “owning your lane” is the ultimate career superpower.
You’ll hear Goldie’s take on building an authentic brand as an introvert, the importance of calm confidence, why aligning your brand with your true self matters, and practical advice for restarting your career after a life-altering pause. If you’re seeking inspiration, actionable branding tips, or courage to step into your next chapter—this is a must-listen episode!
