Reminder for managers:

Your new hire’s failure is your failure.

One of the biggest mistakes companies make...
is not setting new hires up for success.

You can’t expect people to “hit the ground running”...
if you never put them in the race.

If they fail in their first 3 months,
it’s not their fault.
It’s yours.

Because great onboarding isn’t just a process.


It’s training.
It’s preparation.
It’s sharing knowledge.
It’s building relationships.
It’s learning what good looks like.

Managers don’t just hire talent...
they shape it.

Set people up to win,
and they’ll make your whole team stronger.

♻ Repost to remind others that leadership starts with day one.

People won’t remember what you said,

But they will remember how you treated them.

The best leaders don’t just manage tasks,

They connect with people.

And empathy is their most powerful tool.

✅ It’s how you earn trust.
✅ Diffuse conflict.
✅ Build loyalty.

And lead with heart, not ego.

Here are 15 Ways to Lead With Empathy:
(That Your Team Won’t Forget)

1/ Flex when life gets messy
↳ Be adaptable and offer options when life takes over.

2/ Listen to what isn’t being said
↳ Watch body language, mood shifts, and what’s left out.

3/ Make it safe to say “I don’t know”
↳ Reward curiosity and remove fear from learning.

4/ Stay steady when emotions run high
↳ Help to stabilize uncertainty and guide people back to the goal..

5/ Give people grace when they make mistakes
↳ Use errors as coaching moments, not moments for judgment.

6/ Ask “How can I support you?” and mean it
↳ Let them define what support looks like. Then step up.

7/ Lead with transparency in hard moments
↳ Share context honestly. Don’t leave people in the dark.

8/ Give feedback that grows, not shames
↳ Be direct, but kind. Critique behaviors, not people.

9/ Ask them how they’re really feeling
↳ Go beyond work and show you’re invested enough to listen.

10/ Listen without fixing or finishing
↳ Don’t rush to solve, but give people room to learn and grow.

11/ Support the person, not just the performer
↳ Check in when they struggle not just when they shine.

12/ Model positive boundaries and respect theirs
↳ Don’t glorify burnout, but lead with respect and boundaries..

13/ Make space for quieter voices
↳ Invite input early rather than letting the loudest dominate. 

14/ Act before they have to ask
↳ Anticipate needs and pay attention to signals.

15/ Praise progress, not just perfection
↳ Recognize the progress people make - not just the end result.

16/ Defend people when they’re not in the room
↳ Speak up when it counts. Loyalty is leadership.

17/ Speak to their potential, not just performance
↳ Reflect back the future you see in them regularly.

Power moves get tasks done.
Care moves people forward.
That’s the real scoreboard of leadership.

But it’s also the part most leaders overlook.

They chase performance.
Defend their image.
Micromanage the process.

But legacy doesn’t live in your CV.
It lives in the people who have worked beside you.

Want to build the kind of leadership people remember?
Start with these 10: 

1/ Protect people’s energy
↳ Respect workload. Notice burnout. Make space to breathe.

2/ Listen with intent
↳ Not to fix. Not to reply. Just to truly understand.

3/ Notice quiet effort
↳ The loudest voice isn’t always the one carrying the weight.

4/ Remove the ego
↳ The team wins when credit is shared and blame is absorbed.

5/ Be the same person every day
↳ Stability builds trust. Emotional swings erode it.

6/ Give trust early
↳ Ownership starts when people feel believed in.

7/ Ask better questions
↳ Good leadership isn’t about answers, it’s about curiosity.

8/ Celebrate progress, not perfection
↳ Consistency matters more than flawless performance.

9/ Step in before things break
↳ Don’t wait for a mess to show leadership. Prevent it.

10/ Grow people quietly
↳ No micromanaging. No spotlight. Just steady belief and stretch.

Because in the end,

No one talks about your job title.
They talk about how they felt under your leadership.

Seen.
Safe.
Trusted.
Stretched.

That’s the legacy people carry.

Ranked #1 LinkedIn HR Creator (Global), #2 Female Creator (US) | Positioning Companies & Founders to Attract Talent, Capital & Credibility | 100M+ Organic Reach | Ex-Amazon, Cognizant, Labcorp

Hiring. Visibility. Credibility.

The three levers every founder, CEO, coach, or consultant needs to scale.
The problem? Most get them wrong.

That’s where I come in.

I built 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬 to help seed to Series B startups, lean teams, and high-stake leaders attract the right talent, amplify their brand visibility, and build credibility that wins capital and clients.

What sets us apart?
We operate at the intersection of AI, recruitment, and brand strategy turning overlooked processes into growth systems.

Here’s what that looks like in numbers:
✔ 3,000+ hires placed globally across industries
✔ 250,000+ resumes reviewed with precision at scale
✔ 100M+ organic impressions without ad spend
✔ 150K+ community grown organically on LinkedIn
✔ 50K+ subscribers of our Li Newsletter: Incredible Edge
✔ Worked with enterprises like Amazon, Cognizant, Labcorp
✔ Partnered with unicorns like Atlan & Domino Data Lab
✔ Executed brand collabs with Lovable AI, Emergent AI, Gusto, Replit Agent 3, Gamma & GoPerfect

But metrics are just the proof. The real outcome is this:

💡 Founders who save time and scale smarter.
💡 Executives who become visible authorities.
💡 Startups that attract capital and top talent on autopilot.

If you’re still struggling to hire right, stand out, or get noticed, it’s not because you lack potential.
It’s because you’re playing the wrong game.

My work is helping you change that.

Let’s build what they can’t ignore.

Hiring for attitude > Hiring for experience.
And more leaders need to say this out loud.

Over the years, one truth has become unmistakably clear:
👉 Skills can be taught.
👉 Mindset is much harder to change.

You can train someone on tools, processes, and systems…
But you can’t teach someone to be kind, collaborative, or solution-oriented if they’re rooted in negativity.

When you hire people with:
✨ A positive mindset
✨ A willingness to learn
✨ A team-first attitude

You’re not just filling a role, you’re strengthening your culture.

What do you value most when hiring, skills or mindset?

Some of the world’s greatest innovations were born from rejection.

Visionaries who were underestimated went on to reshape entire industries.
🚗 Toyota rejected a mechanic’s new design idea- he built Honda instead.
🐂 Ferrari dismissed advice from a tractor maker- he built Lamborghini.
🏎️ Lamborghini refused to fund an engineer’s carbon-fiber project- he built Pagani.
💻 HP turned down a computer idea from their own engineer- he co-founded Apple.
🎮 Nintendo walked away from a Sony engineer’s disc-console concept- he built PlayStation.
📼 Blockbuster laughed at a founder looking to partner- he built Netflix.
Rejection isn’t a dead end. It’s a redirection.

Sometimes the “no” you hear today becomes the reason you build something the world can’t ignore tomorrow.

If you’re working on something bold and people don’t get it yet…
Keep going.

Rejection Leads to Big Things

Kindness is not a weakness, it’s a leadership advantage.

In a world that often rewards speed, competition, and “winning at all costs,” kindness can feel underrated.

✔️ Kindness builds trust.
✔️ Kindness strengthens teams.
✔️ Kindness fuels collaboration.
✔️ Kindness creates leaders people want to follow.

Some of the strongest professionals I know are the ones who choose empathy even when it’s not the easiest option.

Let’s stop treating kindness like a liability.
It’s a skill.
A strategy.
A strength.

Imagine what our workplaces would look like if kindness was the standard, not the exception.

💬 How has kindness positively impacted your career, life or workplace?

Kumud Deepali Rudraraju, SHRM CP

✨ Say yes, and let growth catch up later.

How many times have we held ourselves back because we didn't feel “ready enough”?

Reality is, nobody ever feels 100% ready. Confidence is built after taking the leap, not before.

Some of the biggest milestones in my journey came from saying yes first:
Yes to roles I’d never done
Yes to projects that felt intimidating
Yes to challenges that forced me to level up
Every “yes” stretched me. Every stretch expanded my capability.

🔥 Growth is uncomfortable. But that discomfort is where transformation begins.

So here’s a gentle reminder for anyone hesitating today:
Don’t wait for perfection. Say yes. Show up. Learn on the way.

What’s one opportunity you said “yes” to before you felt ready?

What if the most important subject in school isn’t math, science, or reading… but empathy?

Since 1993, Denmark has required every child aged 6-16 to take a weekly empathy class.

Not as an add-on. Not as a nice-to-have.
As a core part of education.

The outcome?
🌍 Among the lowest bullying rates in the world
🌱 Consistently high kindness and well-being scores
🤝 A culture where emotional intelligence is as valued as academic achievement

It raises a powerful question for all of us; parents, leaders, educators, and employers:
Are we teaching the next generation how to understand each other, not just outperform each other?

In a world driven by competition, Denmark chose connection. And it’s paying off.
Imagine if more school systems did the same.
Imagine if more workplaces did the same.
Empathy isn’t soft.
Empathy is a skill.

And it might just be one of the most future-proof ones we can teach.

Should empathy be a required part of education or maybe even workplace everywhere? What do you think?

Put a ❤️ on this post if you believe empathy should be mainstreamed in both school and work, and repost to help spread it.

Things great leaders are NOT sick of hearing…
Because real leadership isn’t about control,
it’s about trust.
When your team says…
➡️ “Can I leave early today?”
➡️ “Do you mind if I come in late?”
➡️ “My child is sick, can I rush off?”
➡️ “I’ve got an appointment tomorrow, is that okay?”

A great leader doesn’t roll their eyes.
They don’t make people feel guilty.
They don’t treat adults like children.
They say:
Handle what you need to handle - I trust you.
Here’s what great leaders do differently 👇
✅ They seek to understand before assigning blame.
✅ They speak up for fair treatment & recognition.
✅ They make sure their team’s efforts are seen.
✅ Their team always knows where they stand.
✅ They communicate with transparency.
✅ They recognize effort not just results.
✅ They build trust through consistency.
✅ They empower decision-making.
✅ They advocate for their people.
✅ They listen before reacting.
✅ They keep their promises.
✅ They lead with empathy.
✅ They nurture potential.
✅ They invest in growth.

Leadership isn’t about permission.
It’s about empowerment.
If you trust people to do their job,
they’ll do it better than you expect.
Every. Single. Time.

And Hire for attitude,
character,
integrity…
and that is when this trust can be easily built.

When you pray for a job, look deeper.
Because a paycheck alone won't fulfill you.

I recently spoke to a candidate who seemed perfect on paper, great salary, benefits, the works.

But halfway through our chat, her voice cracked.
"Every morning, I sit in my car for 10 minutes before walking in.
Not because I'm lazy.
But because I have to mentally brace myself for the day ahead."

That’s when it hit me:

She didn’t need another job.

She needed respect, growth, and peace.

🙏 Pray for these three pillars:
1. Respect
↳ Where your voice matters
↳ Where your boundaries are honored
→ Where dignity isn't negotiable
2. Growth
↳ Beyond just promotions
↳ Beyond comfort zones
→ Where learning never stops
3. Peace of Mind
↳ No Sunday night anxiety
↳ No toxic leadership
→ Where your wellbeing comes first

Because the right job isn't just about what you do.
It's about who you become while doing it.

Money feeds your wallet. These three feed your soul.

💭 Remember: You're not just looking for work. You're building a life worth living. 

Burnout, Depression and Regret will have lasting impacts on your health and well being.

FACT: Having a good manager is a blessing.

Not the kind you appreciate only during appraisal season…

But the kind that shapes your career in ways you don’t fully realize until much later.

A good manager doesn’t just assign tasks.
They mentor, guide, empower, and protect their team.
They create an environment where you feel safe enough to try, fail, grow, and shine.

If you’ve ever worked under a truly great manager, you know the difference:
 ✔️ You learn faster
 ✔️ You feel valued
 ✔️ You’re trusted
 ✔️ You’re motivated
 ✔️ And most importantly; you become better, not just as an employee, but as a person

Great managers don’t just lead teams.
 They build people.
 And that’s rare.
 And worth celebrating.

If you want a high-performing team,
start by making people feel safe to speak up.
Not motivated.
Not micromanaged.
Not constantly evaluated.

Safe.
Safe to ask “why.”
Safe to disagree with the loudest voice in the room.
Safe to admit they don’t know yet.

Because innovation doesn’t come from fear.
Execution doesn’t improve under silence.
And trust isn’t built through perfection.

The best teams I’ve seen aren’t the ones with the smartest individuals.
They’re the ones where ideas can surface early,
before they’re fully formed,
before they’re polished,
before it’s “too late.”

Psychological safety isn’t soft leadership.
It’s a performance strategy.
If people don’t feel safe to speak,
you’re not hearing the best ideas,
only the safest ones.

If this resonates, consider reposting so more leaders see it.
Follow for more reflections on leadership, culture, and building teams that perform and trust.

What if the real measure of success isn’t what we achieve, but how human we choose to be?

Every day, we get countless opportunities to show who we really are;
in how we help, how we listen, how we show up, and how we choose compassion even when no one is watching.

Kindness doesn’t need an audience.
Empathy doesn’t need a reason.
And humanity doesn’t need a perfect moment, it just needs intention.

What inspires me most is seeing ordinary people choose to act with extraordinary heart. Not for praise. Not for credit. Simply because it’s the right thing to do.

Imagine what our workplaces, communities, and world would feel like if more of us made humanity a daily habit.
A little more care.
A little more patience.
A little more giving.

It adds up.

Humanity matters. Practice it every single day.

Respect isn’t a reward, it’s a habit.
Some of the most impactful people I’ve met weren’t the ones with the highest titles, the longest résumés, or the loudest voices.

They were the ones who showed kindness without conditions.
In a world that often measures worth by position, pay grade, or pedigree, choosing to respect someone simply because they’re human is a quieter, deeper form of leadership.

Reality is: 
 You never know the story behind a person.
 You never know the battles they’ve fought.
 And you never know how far a moment of respect can go.

Make it a habit to value people before you evaluate them.
Everything else comes after.

What’s one small act of respect you believe the workplace needs more of? 🙏
Repost if you share this sentiment.

Will AI make us forget about books?

I hope not. Because I already regret how little I read today. Some days, I catch myself relying on AI summaries, bite-sized content, and quick insights… and I wonder if we’re slowly losing the one habit that made us truly wise: reading real books.

There was a time when I could finish a book in 3 hours. And honestly, those were my smartest years.

Not because I had more information. But because books shape you differently. They make you think slower, deeper, and more honestly.

AI can give you answers. 
But books give you perspective.
AI can save you time.
But books give you wisdom.

Here’s a quiet reminder, for you and for me:
📚 Go back to books.
 Slow down.
 Read deeply.
 Let your mind stretch again.

Because the easiest way to grow…
is still sitting quietly on your shelf.

What book made you wiser than any life experience ever did?
Repost to remind someone, maybe you that reading is still one of the purest ways to grow. Don’t let it slip away.

20 Books to Understand the World 

We all carry habits that quietly limit our growth, not because we choose them, but because they become familiar.

This list stopped me in my tracks:
1️⃣ Trying to please everyone
2️⃣ Fearing change
3️⃣ Living in the past
4️⃣ Putting yourself down
5️⃣ Overthinking

These five habits drain more careers than lack of talent ever will.

I’ve seen brilliant people hold themselves back because they were too busy:
→ seeking approval
→ waiting for the “right time”
→ replaying old failures
→ dismissing their strengths
→ thinking instead of acting

But here’s the shift that changes everything:
• Confidence grows when you stop performing for everyone else.
• Progress begins when you step into discomfort.
• Momentum returns when you release what you can’t rewrite.
• Opportunities appear when you treat yourself with respect.
• Clarity emerges when you start doing instead of overthinking.

Small mindset changes create massive career transformations.
So ask yourself today:
👉 Which one of these five do you need to quit first?

Drop it in the comments your self-awareness might inspire someone else.
🔁 Repost to remind your network: the biggest breakthroughs start with what you choose to let go of.

🚀 The Future Isn’t Coming… It’s Already Knocking.

We’re living through the most disruptive era in human history.

Some predictions that stand out:
🔹 Money will be fully digital and cash will disappear.
🔹 AI will become our closest companion, not just a tool.
🔹 Phones may last for years on a single charge.
🔹 AI will automate most of the tasks humans do today.
🔹 Real-time translation will erase language barriers.
🔹 Humans will walk on Mars.
🔹 The world’s first trillionaire will emerge.
🔹 Self-driving cars will replace human drivers entirely.
🔹 Almost every home will have a personal robot.
🔹 Space tourism will become normal.
🔹 Global population will start shrinking.
🔹 Massive data centers will orbit Earth.
🔹 Living past 100 will become common.
Whether these excite you or terrify you…
they will redefine how we work, live, and connect.

The real question is:
👉 Are you preparing to adapt, or waiting to be disrupted?

Because one thing is certain:
The future won’t wait for any of us.

Things Happening In This Lifetime

📘 Learning AI feels overwhelming? Start with the language.

One of the biggest blockers in AI isn’t coding.
It’s terminology.

Words like:
• RAG
• Fine-tuning
• Hallucination
• Embeddings
• Transformers
• Vector databases
Sound complex… until they’re explained simply.

That’s why resources like “The Generative AI & ML Dictionary: A–Z Essential Concepts Decoded” matter.

Instead of guessing, you:
✅ Build strong fundamentals
✅ Communicate clearly with engineers
✅ Learn faster with less confusion
✅ Connect concepts across ML, GenAI, and LLMs

If you’re serious about AI, don’t just learn tools.

I built a 10-tool support squad, so my human team can do deeper work.

Here's my AI-powered squad and what each one actually does when I'm shipping fast:

Chief Strategy Officer → ChatGPT
The one I brainstorm with at 2 AM.
→ Architecture decisions
→ Trade-off analysis
→ "What could go wrong?" scenarios

System Design Architect → Claude
The one that explains complex systems like I'm five (but makes me look smart).
→ Scalable architecture design
→ Breaking down gnarly tech problems
→ Code reviews that don't miss edge cases

Chief Research Officer → Perplexity
My "find the answer in 30 seconds" weapon.
→ Competitive analysis
→ Deep tech research
→ Cutting through noise to find signal

Architecture Reviewer → Cursor
Code structure police. In a good way.
→ Reviews architecture before I commit
→ Catches flow issues early
→ Keeps technical debt from sneaking in

Tech Documentation Lead → Notion AI
The one who makes sure nothing gets lost in Slack chaos.
→ SOPs that people actually follow
→ Proposals that don't need 10 revisions
→ Documentation that doesn't rot

Automation Engineer → Zapier AI
My "I never want to do this manually again" specialist.
→ Workflow automation
→ App integrations without code
→ Time I get back: hours per week

Visual Storytelling Director → Canva / Ideogram / Midjourney
Turns my terrible sketches into presentations that don't embarrass me.
→ Pitch decks in minutes
→ Diagrams that explain systems visually
→ Brand assets without a designer on payroll

Orchestration Specialist → n8n
Zapier's more technical sibling. For when workflows get *complex*.
→ Custom automation chains
→ Deep integrations with logic
→ Systems that talk to each other intelligently

Prompt Engineer → Genspark AI
The one that makes every other AI work better.
→ Refines prompts for accuracy
→ Speeds up iteration cycles
→ Turns vague asks into sharp outputs

Note-Taking Assistant → Otter / Fireflies / Fathom
Never writes "you should have been there" meeting summaries.
→ Auto-transcribes calls
→ Extracts action items
→ Turns conversations into documentation

The result?

I move faster. I ship cleaner. I don't burn out doing repetitive work.
This isn't about replacing humans. It's about 10x-ing what one person can execute.

Strategy, research, automation, design, documentation all running in parallel while I focus on the work only I can do.

The pattern I've noticed:

People who resist AI tools work harder.
People who adopt them strategically work smarter.
People who build systems around them? They scale.

My rule:

If I'm doing it twice, I automate it.
If I'm explaining it twice, I document it.
If I'm designing it twice, I template it.

AI doesn't do the thinking. It multiplies the execution.

Which tool has changed your workflow the most? And more importantly what are you still doing manually that you shouldn't be?

♻️ Repost as someone might be drowning in their work when AI tools are now available. Thanks!
