✨ PM Career Coach, x7 pivoter, helping other pivoters land amazing Program Manager roles and 🔥 thrive on the job | Founder of 🚀 Path to PM | Senior Program Manager @ Figma • Ex-Linkedin, Meta, Pinterest, Intuit

Over the last decade, I led impactful programs at companies like LinkedIn, Pinterest, & Figma.

But here’s the part that surprises people:

- I didn’t have a PMP certification.
- I’m a proud career pivoter. 
- I didn’t check every box.

What I did have was strategy, storytelling, and a clear sense of how to articulate my value.

That’s how I landed multiple 6-figure Program Manager roles at top tech companies not by following the “traditional” path, but by leaning into my superpowers. 

Eventually, I had a spark to do something different..

What if I used the same skills that helped me thrive in Big Tech… to build something of my own?

So I left to bet on myself (again). 

And what served me well in my career also helped me as a solopreneur.

I owned my story, built with intention and shared learnings in public.

I started creating content in 2023 and in 2 years, built a community of 350K+ across LinkedIn, Instagram, and my newsletter.

Today, I’m the founder of the PM Accelerator, a career transformation program where I help senior professionals land high-paying PM roles without another certification or starting over. 

My mission is to democratize access to tech careers + empower folks to design a career, business & life they love especially in this era of AI.

The Results:

→ Partnered with Google, Hubspot, NVIDIA, Adobe, Kajabi, Notion, & more
→ LinkedIn Learning Instructor with 200K+ learners
→ 100M+ impressions over the last year
→ 230K+ follow my journey on LinkedIn
→ Built a $200K+ business in 1 year 
→ 32K+ read my newsletter 
→ (soon TEDx speaker 😱)

If you want to learn the exact framework I used to land dream PM roles + help others do the same…

In this 5-week career acceleration program, I teach you how to get interviews, land dream offers and literally thrive on the job.  

I helped 100+ students land PM roles at Microsoft, SoFi, Scale.AI, Adidas, Workday and more (many in under 4–7 weeks)

Founder & CEO

"Jean isn’t a program manager coach solely because she’s done the role. She’s a coach because she’s done both the role AND gone the extra mile to document what she’s researched and learned masterfully. 

“Jean’s the real deal, and I couldn’t recommend her more to someone questioning how to take the next step in their career."

I don’t believe in dream jobs.

But I believe in healthy cultures.

Here are 5 🟢 Signs You’re in a Healthy Workplace:

☝🏼 Work-life balance is expected.

↳ Flexible schedules, real PTO, and no guilt for having a life outside of work.

✌🏼 Mental health is respected.

↳ You can take a mental health day without judgment (it’s seen as part of being human)

🤟🏼 Feedback flows both ways.

↳ You feel safe sharing ideas, concerns, or mistakes without fear of backlash (yes, this is psychological safety).

🖖🏼 Growth is prioritized.

↳ You’re given opportunities to develop, whether it’s new skills, projects, or career growth.

🖐🏼 Your work is valued.

↳ Your work is recognized and you receive incentives with raises, bonuses, impactful projects, and flexibility.

When praying for a job, also pray for a workplace that values you too 🙏🏼

Because trust me, when you believe you’re worth it, the universe will make it possible for you.

That’s exactly how I landed dream jobs after being fired and found compassionate leaders after dealing with awful bosses.

It’s because I never settled for anything less.

Which of these signs do you see in your workplace? 👇🏼

Tech Creator (450K+) & Founder | Ex-LinkedIn, Meta, Figma | Solopreneur, TEDx Speaker & LinkedIn Learning Instructor helping you become AI FLUENT ✨

dont just pray for a job. pray for a workplace that values you too.

Unemployment doesn’t make you unworthy.

I’ve been fired, and other times, I left due to a bad culture fit and to be a caretaker for my mother with cancer.

For a long time, I felt embarrassed about job loss.
I assumed it was my fault.

Until I chose to own my narrative.

(it was a circumstance, not a character flaw).

The reality is that unemployment can happen to anyone regardless of performance, tenure, or status.

While it feels personal, here are a few reminders:

1/ You carry your skills forever. 
A layoff doesn’t erase your accomplishments.

2/ You don’t need to settle for less. 
Remember to know your worth and make sure your next role aligns with your values, skills, and culture fit.

3/ Career gaps are normalized. 
We’ll see more and more gaps, and it’s no longer a stigma.

4/ Layoffs can literally happen to ANYONE. 
Your seniority, title, and performance aren’t immune.

5/ It’s okay to take some time off 
Taking time to protect your mental health, realign, and do what brings you joy is not “falling behind.”

6/ This can be a rebuilding season.
You can use LinkedIn to share your story, help others, build genuine connections, and even create opportunities you didn’t have before.

Trust me, investing in yourself is the ultimate gift that will keep on giving ❤️

Unemployment may be a setback, but you will have your comeback 🙌🏼

I’ll choose remote work > higher salary.

It’s really simple.

More rest, less stress.

I’ve been remote ever since COVID but up until that point, I prioritized $.

Now, I prioritize my mental health, peace of mind, and well being. 

WFH has personally made me:

✔️ Richer
✔️ Happier
✔️ Healthier
✔️ More Productive

It’s about flexibility and choice.

Give people an OPTION to choose what works for them.

And here’s the thing.

When you feel good, you deliver higher-quality work, and can think and operate better.

That’s why I’ll always champion companies that enable teams to operate at the next level without being tied to an office.

Tango is one of the products I genuinely love because they are transforming how remote teams learn, lead, and share information.

They truly created a people-first product that’s perfect for training, documenting SOPs, and eliminating context-switching. 

Because people thrive when you meet them where they are (not the other way around).

Do you agree?

No office perk beats the benefit of remote work.

I love this story SO much.

What you may not know about the CEO of NVIDIA.

Jensen Huang owns a $4 trillion dollar company 

But his LinkedIn profile lists just TWO jobs: 

☝🏼 Dishwasher, busboy, and waiter at Denny’s

✌🏼 Founder & CEO of Nvidia

His profile went viral, and people started calling it “the most inspiring LinkedIn profile ever.”

Here’s why his story resonates:

1/ Your first job doesn’t define your success

We’ve all had jobs that felt small or irrelevant. That’s normal. 

What matters is what you take from them.

2/ Every experience matters 

Jensen doesn’t list every role he’s had. 

But even working at Denny’s gave him lessons in grit, humility, and service.

These are traits that shaped how he leads today.

3/ Careers aren’t linear 

He went on to earn a Master’s from Stanford, worked as a chip designer at AMD and LSI Logic, while raising 2 children.

In 1993, he co-founded Nvidia while sitting in a booth at Denny’s with “no idea how” to start a company.

This is the true definition of humble beginnings.

30 years later, Jensen is one of the most influential leaders in tech.

Let this be your reminder:

Your resume does not define you.
Your background does not define you.
And no one else gets to define your story except for YOU.

How to (finally) sketch 🔥 infographics with AI.

If you want to create slick graphics without hiring a designer, try this:

1/ Upload a reference image you like (to recreate the style)

2/ Go to Gemini or ChatGPT and paste this prompt:

“Create an infographic brief for [YOUR TOPIC]. Include visual suggestions.”

3/ Review and edit the draft as needed

Example: edit the copy, remove specific bullets, add brand colors etc.

4/ Update your prompt with specifics:

“Generate a single image of a physical, hand-drawn infographic on a large whiteboard or notebook page.

Crucial Style Instructions (Read First):

Medium: The image must look like a photograph of a real whiteboard or large paper notepad.

Texture: All elements must look created by hand using colored marker pens (black, blue, red, green) and highlighters (yellow/orange). Lines should be slightly imperfect, wobbly, and have the texture of ink on a surface.

No Digital Fonts: All text, headings, and bullet points must appear handwritten or hand-printed in marker pen.

Layout: Structure the 1080x1350 image as follows:

Use multi-colored markers for emphasis. Keep text large and legible. Make everything look hand-drawn with slight imperfections. Make it look like a photograph of an actual notebook page.

Always include the handwritten text “Follow Jean Kang for more content like this | Repost ♻️” at the bottom of the image, in the same hand-drawn marker style.”

And keep prompting until you’re 100% satisfied with the image.

This is how you can turn any piece of educational content into a killer infographic.

Loved this prompt I found from Charlie Hills 🦩 newsletter as he breaks down exactly how 3 “ugly” graphics got him close to 500K impressions 🤯

Check out the playbook here: https://lnkd.in/gnntBDQA

P.S. I do see a few typos so it’s not perfect but I mean how amazing is the ability to even generate a graphic like this!

I would bookmark this 🔖 

Google launched a free AI learning tool (and it’s so cool) 😱

It’s part of their new AI experiment called Learn Your Way, 

and it’s one of the most intuitive tools I’ve seen for modern learners.

A few standouts:

☝🏼 It adapts to your grade level and your interests

✌🏼 It converts material into formats you’ll actually use (audio, mind maps, slides, etc.)

🤟🏼 It checks in with quizzes and memory boosters so the info actually sticks

Say you’re learning physics.. it’ll literally teach you with rocket examples if you’re into space.

No more boring, generic explanations (bye to old textbooks)

This is still early (and in testing) but this is what I call learning BEYOND the classroom.

You’re not just learning new things.

You’re learning in a way that works BEST for YOU.

And I’m so HERE 👏🏼 FOR 👏🏼 IT👏🏼

ChatGPT just got cancelled 🙀

Cancel ChatGPT is trending right now, and Claude did the most brilliant thing.

Let me explain.

OpenAI just signed a deal with the Pentagon over how its AI models would be used across the military.

And people are freaking out because who wants to give our data, our most prized possession, to the government, especially for war? 

While Anthropic publicly refused to give unrestricted use of Claude.

So everyone is rage quitting ChatGPT and going over to Anthropic.

But breaking up with Chat is kind of pain because all of your data is there. I mean, years of it.

So, Claude did something better 

Basically said, I got you, let me make this as easy as possible.

Literally just paste in this prompt, put it into ChatGPT, and you'll get all of your context back when you move to Claude.

They really made it THAT simple. 

Save this link (from Claude) so you can have your memory back in basically 1 click

🔗 https://lnkd.in/g9Em7Gky

OR feel free to do it manually:

Step 1: Copy Anthropic’s prompt below and paste it into ChatGPT

I’m moving to another service and need to export my data. List every memory you have stored about me, as well as any context you’ve learned about me from past conversations. Output everything in a single code block so I can easily copy it. Format each entry as: [date saved, if available] - memory content. Make sure to cover all of the following — preserve my words verbatim where possible: Instructions I’ve given you about how to respond (tone, format, style, ‘always do X’, ‘never do Y’). Personal details: name, location, job, family, interests. Projects, goals, and recurring topics. Tools, languages, and frameworks I use. Preferences and corrections I’ve made to your behavior. Any other stored context not covered above. Do not summarize, group, or omit any entries. After the code block, confirm whether that is the complete set or if any remain.

Step 2: Copy and paste the results into Claude’s memory settings:

https://lnkd.in/gC3EztGf

Are we seeing a mass ChatGPT exodus? Let me know your thoughts 💭

P.S. I actually did do this, and it was WILDLY easy to do. I’ve been appreciating Claude more and more for how intelligent its AI models are, but I still like Chat for ease of use, but who knows that might change 🫣

1.5 Million users leave ChatGPT. If you cancel, make sure you do this first.

10 years ago, I was in a job I hated…

Toxic bosses, high turnover, & poor company culture.

Thanks to Rob Dance for this quote 🙏🏼

No matter how hard I worked, I wasn't ever good enough.

I tried to stick it out but was fired in under 1 year.

I was crushed. I never thought I’d be able to get back up.

10 years later, I’ve worked at dream companies like LinkedIn, Meta, and Figma.

I led incredibly impactful projects, 5X my salary, and worked with world-class leaders.

The lesson?

NEVER give up. You can turn each rejection and redirect it into something better.

Regardless of the situation, I ALWAYS bet on myself.

Because if not you, then who?

Never let a toxic workplace or person define your worth.

Only YOU define your worth.

Betting yourself is one of the best investments you can make.

__

6 questions to ask if you're in the right place 👇🏼

1/ Am I challenged?
2/ Am I learning & growing?
3/ Do I feel like I can make an impact?
4/ Do I align with the values of the company?
5/ Am I being valued & recognized for my work?
6/ Do I enjoy working with my team and my boss?

Remember what your non-negotiables are (and never settle for less).

Choose yourself daily 💙

How are you choosing yourself today?

i used to think people changed jobs for money.but now i realize people just want to feel valued and have piece of mind

Failing is *actually* a good thing.

But most people let it consume them…

I’ve failed A LOT in my life.

- got fired twice
- bombed presentations
- stayed too long in toxic relationships

But here’s what it taught me:

↳ grit to keep going
↳ take failures as lessons
↳ made space for something *better*

And because of these “failures”, I’m right where I need to be:

I met the love of my life 🥹

I’m living my dream doing what I love ❤️

Allowed me to quit tech + create a life on my terms 🙏🏼

__

Try these 5 things to bounce back (even when you don’t want to):

☝🏼 Feel the pain

Give yourself permission to feel it fully.

Your emotions are valid (and it’s okay not to be okay).

If you’re sad, be sad. If you’re mad, be upset.

You’re literally be sick if you bottle your feels. 

✌🏼 Zoom out

You are not your worst moment.

Recognize that this too shall pass.

9/10 times you won’t remember this 1 month later.

🤟🏼 Find the lesson

Ask yourself: What is this trying to teach you?

How can I make my worst day my best one?

What would you do differently next time?

🖖🏼 Rewrite the narrative

Stop calling it failure. The only way to grow is through falling.

Remember, you are a beautiful work-in-progress.

✋🏼 Start slowly (just start)

Commit to taking 1 tiny step (any step).

Raise your hand at work. Post 3x a week. Have one hard conversation.

When I look back at my life.. here’s what makes me smile:

My collection of failures added up to a far more meaningful life.

I did something 🥹

LinkedIn invited me to interview their Chief Economic Opportunity Officer, Aneesh Raman, for his NEW book ✨Open to Work✨ co-authored with LinkedIn CEO, Ryan Roslansky.

Here's why this was deeply personal for me:

1/ It's been 5 years since I worked out of LinkedIn's SF HQ.

The same building I used to badge into as an employee is now where I interview LinkedIn's C-suite as a Creator.

I mean.. what a truly FULL circle moment.

2/ AI x the future of work is more timely than ever.

When I asked Aneesh why he and Ryan chose to write this book now, here's what he said:

"This isn't about AI. It's what we can do WITH AI."

The goal of this book is to build awareness, drive action, and shape a conversation that helps people navigate one of the biggest moments. of. our. time.

It's not emotionally charged. 
It's optimistic yet honest.
It's practical yet grounded.

Here's why I love it (and why you need to read it):

It's NOT a book about AI.
It's NOT humans vs. AI.
It's humans WITH AI.

And contains countless stories of regular people using AI to do new, ✨extraordinary✨ things at work to:

- Do their jobs better
- Find new jobs more easily
- Build new businesses
- And ultimately, be more HUMAN at work

Thank you, Mary Kate Fields, Gianluca Russo, and Aneesh Raman, for trusting me to lead this dialogue and bringing me back to my old stomping grounds 🙏🏼

I truly believe this (and you've heard me say it before):

AI isn't replacing you. But the person who uses it likely will.

It's okay to feel uneasy about the future as it unfolds.
You don't need to beat fear. You just need to act despite it. 💙

10/10 recommend for anyone who's pro-human in this AI era.

The #1 thing that actually changed my life. 

It wasn’t getting a college degree or something I learned at a job.

It was choosing *who* I want as my life partner.

Despite posting on LinkedIn every day, I’m super private about my personal life.

But looking back at my biggest wins, I truly believe this is the 1 thing that unlocked my hidden potential. 

I was in relationships with people who didn’t understand or support my ambition, values, and they always found a way to dim my light.

My now husband is the sole reason why I’m able to create and live the life I always wanted.

He’s the reason I was able to quit tech, turn my side hustle of posting content into my main hustle, ground me when I feel inadequate, and remind me that I can do anything.

He doesn’t care that I make more, that have to drop everything and travel for work, or that I have big goals for myself.

He’s the best life partner I could ever ask for 🥹

We talk about our future together, how we’ll raise kids, and grow old together.

That’s why choosing your partner is the single most important decision you can ever make.

Because it will bleed into how you show up, who you become, and the impact you’ll have.

So instead of chasing the next shiny thin like a promotion, an MBA, a new job, new location, just start where you are.

Find someone who will make you better and help you achieve your wildest dreams.

Because that person is out there, and you deserve to *never* settle for anything less.

What I used to care about (before accepting a job)

↳ Perks (Free food, swag, etc)
↳ Company name
↳ Location
↳ Title

What I care about now (after I got all the above)

★ Flexible time off (without the guilt)
★ A manager who has my back
★ Growth opportunities
★ Psychological safety
★ Exciting challenges
★ Supportive team
★ Remote-friendly

The superficial things are temporary bliss.

Prioritize your non-negotiables.

And assess your list regularly.

If you’re looking for a job, I hope you find the right role, culture, and boss for you 💙.

Literally one of my favorite AI tool of 2026.

I love this PLAUD Note Pro from Plaud

A must-have for professionals who have tons of meetings, go to networking events, and love synthesizing convos with actionable takeaways.

I used to whip out my phone to take notes. 

It always drained my battery and made the person I'm talking to a bit self-conscious 🫣

Now I can be super present.

PLAUD is an AI-powered tool that transcribes any conversations or meetings you have. 

It then summarizes, extracts key insights, creates mind maps, and even answers your questions.

Not only does it work effortlessly, but it's super sleek and stylish. 

You barely notice it's there.

Who else is into AI wearables, and what do you recommend?

Try Plaud out for yourself (and check out their entire suite of AI wearables): https://bit.ly/40xA2sl

I’m an introvert but . . .

speaking in front of founders & creators totally filled my cup 🥺

I was joined by Grace Gong and Lillian Zhang, two boss women who have built seriously impressive media businesses while showing up for their audiences every single day.

We talked about getting started with content from zero to 1, how we've monetized our businesses, and what we'd tell our younger selves.

A few key takeaways:

1/ Starting is the STRATEGY

So many of us overthink content. 

We convince ourselves we need to be a thought leader first.

But the only permission you need is your own.

Don’t wait to be an “expert”.

Start by sharing your story, document your founder journey, and highlight the lowlight and lessons.

People crave real, unfiltered content.

2/ Consistency > perfection

A perfect strategy means nothing without execution.

When I got started on LinkedIn, I made a promise to post daily for 365 days.

I committed regardless of my follower or engagement count.

I trusted the process. And I accidentally built a community of 400K, became a TEDx speaker (my dream), and crossed over $500K/year in < 2 years. 

3/ You ARE the ✨NICHE✨

You do NOT need to stick to rigid pillars.

Create content around the topics that actually bring you joy.

That's the only way you will post consistently, find your tribe, and do so without burning out. 

I talk about personal growth, entrepreneurship, & tech. And I have a POV on all of it.

So do you.

Thank you to Cornelia Gu for sliding into my DMs and asking me to join. 11/10 experience 🖤

P.S. Always shoot your shot. You genuinely never know where it leads.

Who's heading to SXSW next week? 🥳

Google invited me to the most ✨EPIC✨ Supper Club 🥺

I've honestly never fangirled SO hard

I was in room with my favorite AI educators like Andrej Karpathy, Peter Yang, Lenny Rachitsky, & Cat Goetze.

Context: Lenny is the reason I started creating content 3 years ago.

I told myself, "I want to be the Lenny of Program Management."

So I started a coaching company, helped people land millions of dollars in offers, and built my first 6-figure business from scratch.

Putting myself out there landed me on stages with HubSpot, LinkedIn & TEDx, dream brand collabs, and even the LV Grand Prix 🏎️ 🙀

It was all because I SAW others pave the path first.

When you see others living their dreams, something goes off in your brain.

And you start to believe that you can make it possible too.

That's exactly what I want to be for you.

Because being in this room proved to me just HOW far I've come 🙏🏼

P.S. Thank you Michele Slack for inviting me to the most intimate experience that truly filled my cup.

To the best dinner buddies: Robby Stein Ashley Thompson Matthew Berman, our convos will stick with me!

Becoming a TEDx speaker!

And ya girl manifested it in less than 3 months (omg)

But here’s what most people don’t see: 

The journey started 2 years ago when I decided to hit post on LinkedIn and double down on my personal brand.

And I committed to put myself out there Every. Single. Day (despite the cringe)

Give it a read if becoming a TEDx speaker is also on your bucket list 😉

Lorraine K. Lee

Bestselling Author (Unforgettable Presence) | Corporate Keynote Speaker | Instructor: LinkedIn Learning & Stanford | Former Founding Editor at LinkedIn & Prezi

I help professionals build an unforgettable presence to increase their visibility, impact, and influence—so they’re no longer the best-kept secret at work.

For a long time, that wasn’t my experience.

I did strong work. 
I stayed prepared. 
I waited for my turn.

And I watched others move ahead while I stayed invisible.

The shift came when I stopped being a passive participant in my career and started taking ownership of how I showed up. 

Within a year, I stepped into a Director role, learned to speak publicly despite deep nerves and introversion, and built a side business alongside my full-time job.

Then, in late 2022, I was laid off.That side business became RISE Learning Solutions, built on more than a decade of experience as a founding editor at LinkedIn, Prezi, and other leading tech companies.

Today, I work with organizations like Amazon, Zoom, and Cisco as a keynote speaker, trainer, and content creator. I also partner with select executives, including Fortune 500 CEOs, to strengthen their presence and thought leadership on LinkedIn and beyond.

My #1 bestselling book, Unforgettable Presence, is the resource I wish I had when I felt overlooked. It’s written for ambitious professionals who want to show up with clarity, confidence, and intention without becoming louder, more performative, or someone they’re not.

WHAT I DO
Keynote Speaker & Trainer 
I speak on presence, communication, presentations, managing up, and modern workplace visibility. My sessions consistently receive 98–100% positive attendee ratings, with 200+ testimonials from teams and leaders.

(Scroll down to see them in my Recommendations.)

Instructor

Amazon’s Editorial team just named 𝙐𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 a must-read! 📘

(alongside iconic books like Atomic Habits by James Clear and The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins 🥹)

In moments like these, I need to remind myself to stop and process.

Because in 2022, I wasn't writing a book.

I was sitting in my apartment after a layoff, wondering what would come next. Wondering what the future held for the career I put so much love into.

I didn't set out to become a bestselling author.

I set out to answer a question that had haunted me for most of my career:

Why do some people get seen, promoted, and remembered… while others do equally great work and stay invisible?

I spent years being the second person.

– The one who delivered results but got overlooked.
– The one who assumed hard work would speak for itself.

It didn't.

What I learned (and what became the heart of this book) is this:

Presence isn't about being the loudest voice in the room. 

→ It's about being intentional about how and where you are seen, especially in the small moments that you don’t think matter (but which actually make a huge difference).

It's learning to communicate your value in a way that feels authentic, not performative.

In a way that makes people remember you, not because you demanded attention, but because you made an impact.

That shift changed my career.

And now, seeing my book recognized… It's further proof that the message matters.

Not just for me. For everyone who's ever felt like the best-kept secret.

Thanks to Mimi Chan for your support! 💙

PS. Want to go deeper? I share more like this in my FREE 5-day email course, link in the comments 👇🏻 

PPS. Have you ever felt like the best-kept secret at work?

Layoffs will continue.

AI. Efficiency. Restructuring. You name it.

You can't control the cuts.
But you can control how clearly you communicate your impact.

Your best line of defense is a strong Value Narrative™.

👇🏻 Here's what I mean:

Most people wait until performance review season to think about their contributions. By then, it's often too late.

The professionals who stay protected are the ones who make their value impossible to ignore, long before any decisions are made.

Ask yourself:

→ Are you visible beyond your immediate team?
→ Can your manager explain the business value you drive?
→ Are you tying your work to revenue, cost savings, growth, or risk reduction?

If you hesitated on any of those, that's your signal.

Because when leadership is deciding who stays and who goes, they're not looking at effort.

They're looking at impacts they can clearly see and articulate.

Your Value Narrative™ is how you make that impact undeniable.

It's not bragging. It's not self-promotion for the sake of it.

It's making sure the right people understand what you bring to the table, before someone else decides for them.

If you're in a season of uncertainty, don't just keep your head down and hope for the best.

Start building your narrative now.

P.S. What's one way you've made your impact more visible at work?

I just wrapped my first-ever masterclass! 🥳

Two days. One founding cohort. And so many breakthroughs I lost count.

We went deeper into the questions that leave so many talented professionals feeling stuck:

🤷🏻‍♀️ Why does it feel so hard to talk about what I do?
🤷🏻‍♀️ Why do I feel like the "best kept secret" at work?
🤷🏻‍♀️ How do I communicate my value without feeling like I'm bragging?

These are the roadblocks that hold people back from promotions, opportunities, and the recognition they've earned.

We tackled how to articulate your impact, own your expertise, and finally feel confident when someone asks, "So, what do you do?"

The feedback made it all worth it:

★★★★★
"I’m definitely more confident in how I show up professionally.”

★★★★★
"I feel like I have the tools now to tell a story about what I work on."

★★★★★
"What struck me most was how you created space for honest reflection while giving us concrete frameworks to work with."

★★★★★
"It was genuinely one of the most enjoyable and valuable professional development experiences I’ve had, and your generous, thoughtful delivery made all the difference."

One person already asked to attend the next one. 🥹

This was just the beginning.

If you're tired of your hard work going unnoticed (or you struggle to put into words why what you do matters), this is for you!

PS. What's the hardest part for you when it comes to talking about your work?

The 2026 job market is louder than ever.

AI has changed how hiring works.

More applications → more noise → less clarity.

That’s why I sat down with Robert Half, along with Paige Breedlove Fletcher and Jonathan Javier, to talk about what actually helps people stand out today.

We covered a huge range of topics, including:

• How to ensure your resume actually gets seen amongst thousands of applications
• Best practices for using LinkedIn to get noticed by recruiters and hiring managers
• The right (and wrong!) ways to use AI to prepare for interviews

As an introvert, I always thought public speaking wasn’t for me.

(Now I’m a keynote speaker and have spoken at dozens of Fortune 500 companies)

For anyone wanting to grow this critical workplace skill, here’s the one thing I wish I had done earlier:

Talk out loud. Every day. Even when no one’s listening.

(Went to Union Square in SF today and there was a parade, cold brew, and “certified yapper” hats, all for the Wispr Flow Android launch. So apparently I’m not alone. 🎤)

It’s how I went from a nervous speaker to someone who actually feels confident being on stage, podcasts, and everyday meetings.

The catch is, typing on my phone never kept up with my brain. I’d lose the thought before I could finish the sentence. 😅

That’s why I’ve been using Wispr Flow on my desktop for a while now, and I’m so glad it finally launched on Android. 📲

I downloaded it first thing this morning and I’m already obsessed.

✨ Quick emails in Superhuman.
✨ Voice notes to clients in WhatsApp.
✨ Random ideas I don’t want to forget (yes, I often Slack myself 😂).

All captured at the speed I actually think.

If you’ve ever felt like your best ideas disappear before you can write them down, this might be your new favorite tool!

Congrats to the Wispr Flow team on the launch! 🎉

"Let your work speak for itself."

(Advice that keeps high performers invisible.)

You can be the most reliable person on your team and still get overlooked when it matters most.

I've been that person. 😳

And for years, I believed that advice and waited for “my time.” It never came. 

Here's what I've learned: 

Work doesn't speak. People do.

My latest piece in Forbes explores why hard work alone doesn't lead to recognition — and what actually does.

I break down what I wish I'd known earlier, why recognition doesn't follow effort, and what to do instead.

If you've ever been the most reliable person on your team and still felt overlooked, this article is for you.

Your work doesn't travel on its own. It travels through how people talk about it.

And that starts with how 𝙮𝙤𝙪 talk about it.

PS. How long have you been waiting to be recognized instead of making your work visible?

I’m headed to NYC as the opening keynote for the Elevate Her Summit! 🗽

(If you’re a woman actively growing, building, and advancing in your career – this one’s for you!)  

On March 5, I’ll be speaking at the Her Workplace conference at Nasdaq's at HQ in Times Square – a full-day career accelerator for women who are done waiting and ready to own what’s next. 🔔 

I’ll be sharing how to:  

✨ Stop overthinking every word and trust your voice
✨ Build real influence even when you’re not in the room
✨ Use LinkedIn strategically so your work actually gets noticed

Plus: 150 attendees will get a free copy of my book, Unforgettable Presence 📘

Visit Salt Lake and Silicon Slopes Summit just gave me my biggest crowd yet, 2,500 attendees! 🎤

But the part I keep replaying in my head is what happened after I walked off stage.

A group of women were waiting for me. One of them was from Jasmin's community. We talked, took photos, and I could feel how much the message landed.

Then came the book signing.

All 50 copies of 𝙐𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, gone. 📘

One man grabbed a copy for his daughter-in-law who just launched her own business.

Another bought one for each of his daughters. He told me he's always searching for female role models for them. 🥹

The topics that sparked the most conversation:

✨ How to make small talk feel natural (and strategic)
✨ Why working hard alone won't get you noticed
✨ Why showing up on LinkedIn matters more than you think

Oh, and I got to meet Kenny Ortega, the man behind High School Musical. Genuinely one of the kindest people I've ever encountered.

Huge thanks to Krista Parry, Mindy B. Young, Clint Betts, my session moderator Trina L., and many others, who made everything feel seamless. Warm, accommodating, and clearly passionate about what they built.

(Fun fact: the VIP lounge had a points system where you could redeem items. I walked away with a Minky Couture blanket that might be the softest thing I've ever touched. 😅)

Events like this remind me why I do what I do.

It's not the stage. It's the people who tell you your words meant something to them.

P.S. Does anyone else own a collection of swag from events? 😜

This is the #1 skill professionals need support with this year.

(based on a survey of 300 respondents)

Their focus is on communication, but not just 𝘢𝘯𝘺 communication.

They want to learn how to build their internal brand and communicate their impact clearly.

– AI is reshaping roles.
– Restructuring is constant.
– Visibility matters more than ever.

Your ability to articulate what you bring to the table is your career insurance.

I've seen brilliant professionals get passed over for promotions.

They had the talent. They delivered results.

But no one outside their immediate team knew what they actually did. 😔

Here's how to start building this skill:

𝟭) 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆.

Don't wait for performance review season. Keep a running list of projects, outcomes, and impact. (Revenue generated? Time saved? Problems solved?) 📝

𝟮) 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱.

Most professionals can write about their work but stumble when asked to explain it. Talk through your contributions, with a friend, a mentor, or even yourself. 🎤

𝟯) 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀.

Leaders don't just want to hear what you did. They want to know 𝘸𝘩𝘺 it mattered. Tie your contributions to growth, efficiency, or risk reduction. 📊

𝟰) 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Don't wait for your annual review to talk about your contributions. Weave it into your weekly updates, team meetings, and 1:1s. ✨

Technical skills will always matter.

But the people who advance are the ones who can clearly communicate the value they create.

That's the skill worth building this year. 💪🏻

In a world racing toward automation, there's one thing that can't be replicated: You.

– The way people trust you with hard conversations.
– The way you sense when something is off and step in. 
– The way you defuse tension in meetings without making anyone feel small.

I call this the Human Premium™ 💙

It's the collection of skills that makes people want to work with you, recommend you, and remember you long after the project ends.

And here's what I've learned after years of studying what makes professionals unforgettable:

The professionals who get promoted aren't always the most skilled. They're the ones who make others feel seen.

Your Human Premium™ is made up of:

✨ Making people feel heard, even when you disagree
✨ Navigating hard conversations without burning bridges
✨ Communicating in a way that's clear, confident, and human
✨ Reading the room, and knowing when to speak up vs. hold back

These aren't "nice to have" skills.

They're the reason some people get tapped for opportunities while others (equally talented) get overlooked.

I spent years being overlooked. Doing great work. Staying invisible.

What changed? I stopped waiting to be noticed and started being intentional about how I showed up.

That's the Human Premium™ in action.

What's one human skill that's helped you most in your career? 👇🏻

If you’ve ever left a networking event thinking,
“Did I talk too much?”
“Did I not say enough?”
“Did I sound awkward?”

I’ve been there. 😖

I used to assume I was just “bad at networking” because I was too quiet, too awkward, or too in my head.

What I didn’t realize was that I was focusing on the wrong thing.

In this week’s newsletter, I share 3 of my top networking tips that make small talk and networking feel less stressful.

3 tips that make networking feel less awful

I froze on stage in front of the exact people I was trying to impress. 😰

In those 4 seconds, I was convinced everyone could tell I’d messed up, and that maybe I wasn’t cut out for speaking after all.

But what happened when I stepped offstage surprised me.

That moment changed everything I thought I knew about presence, nerves, and what it actually takes to open bigger doors.

More than 250 people have signed up for the FREE 30-minute lesson I'm teaching next Monday, March 9th on Maven! 🤯 

We'll be discussing something most high performers were never taught:

How to clearly articulate their impact. 🎯

Because most people describe their work like this:

❌ “I led the project.”
❌ “I supported the launch.”
❌ “I managed the client relationship.”

That’s activity, not impact.

Impact answers a different question:

What changed because you were there?

✅  “The project launched two weeks early.”
✅  “The new process reduced errors by 30%.”
✅  “Client retention increased quarter over quarter.”

High performers don’t struggle because they lack results.

They struggle because they describe effort instead of outcomes.

That shift alone changes how you’re perceived in reviews, interviews, and promotion conversations.

We’ll break this down live on March 9.

📅 Register here: https://lnkd.in/g2W9T7hF 

If you’ve ever walked out of a review thinking, “I did more than that sounded like” — this session is for you.

Bestselling Author (Unforgettable Presence) | Corporate Keynote Speaker | Instructor: LinkedIn Learning & Stanford | Former Founding Editor at LinkedIn & Prezi | Making sure you’re no longer the best-kept secret at work

100% of attendees said they learned something new! ★★★★★

That was the feedback from my fireside chat with Microsoft, part of their Quarterly Career Catalyst Speaker Series.

(Special shoutout to Sarah-Ann Yong for organizing and moderating such a thoughtful conversation.) 

But that was just the afternoon.

The day started with the Alumni Learning Consortium webinar, 2,800 registrations.

Some of the feedback that came in:

→ "This was the BEST session I've joined so far. Usually, I keep a session on in the background while I multitask. This time, I maximized you on my main screen and took it all in."

→ "I actually learned something from your lecture. I'm so tired of speakers that promise a great lecture but deliver something very elementary."

→ "The content was exactly what I needed. I'm at the stage of my career where I'm trying to get into managerial/leadership roles."

→ "One of the best webinars I have EVER attended."

And someone said they're picking up my book to read on their flight next week. 🥹

Two very different rooms.

One message that kept landing:
Your presence is your power.

It's not about the stage or the size of the room. 

It's about the person who walks away thinking:
"I’m excited to take control of my career."

Grateful for both of these opportunities. ♥️

PS. What's one thing you've learned recently that shifted how you show up at work?

Most high performers were never taught how to talk about their work.

Are you one of them? 👀 

You were taught to do it well.
Stay humble.
Trust that the right people would notice.

So you focused on being competent.

But then, performance review season came around.
You were asked to describe your impact. 

And your answer felt smaller than the work you actually did. 

That old advice doesn’t hold up anymore.

On March 9th, I’m hosting a FREE 30-minute lesson ⚡: Great Work Isn’t Enough: How to Get Recognized 

I’ll walk you through:
• Why (and how) strong performers still get overlooked
• Ways to uncover the impact hiding in your everyday work
• Simple frameworks to turn tasks into clear, compelling impact statements

Because if your results aren’t visible, they don’t compound.
