Here’s 3 lessons I learned as a first timer (and an introvert) at SXSW!

Just because you’re quiet doesn’t mean you should be ignored. Unfortunately, for introverts, staying quiet can mean being invisible. But it shouldn’t be that way! I’ve been busy these past few weeks being interviewed and writing articles for my upcoming book, 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Check out a few of them below: 🔹 In CNBC, and NewsBreak, you’ll learn a simple but powerful shift in language that can instantly make you sound more confident and authoritative. 🔹 Entrepreneur Magazine, Inc. Magazine, and NewsBreak also picked up the pieces with their own input. In my book, I provide practical strategies to elevate your presence at work and stand out—with special tips for introverts, too. :) If you’re ready to stand out and be seen at work, check out these articles.

I have an ambitious goal to reach 600 pre-orders before my book launches on April 22.

I used to think my hard work would speak for itself. Then I learned how to work smarter. I’ve spoken to so many professionals who face similar challenges at work—being overlooked for leadership roles, struggling to get credit for their ideas, or being perceived as “too quiet.” This isn’t about a lack of talent. It’s about a lack of visibility. I experienced this firsthand. Early in my career, I believed working hard was enough. I didn’t want to “self-promote” or “speak just to speak.” At the same time, I learned that being great at your job doesn’t matter if no one knows about it!! That’s why I wrote 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗻, 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿. This book is for ambitious professionals who feel unheard or unseen at work. It’s a valuable resource to help you: ✅ Speak up with confidence (without feeling inauthentic) ✅ Build executive presence and leadership skills ✅ Gain recognition for your work and ideas ✅ Navigate cultural expectations while advocating for yourself If you’re a company who wants to support the growth of your teammates, reach out!

Women need a new playbook for success. They ask. They negotiate. They lead. But they face pushback. They get called “too aggressive.” They hear “wait your turn.” This is why we need to share the lessons learned from women who have made it. In my upcoming book, Unforgettable Presence, I spoke with amazing women from various fields. They shared their stories and insights on: 1. Building a brand that gets you recognized ↳ Be intentional and consistent advocating for yourself and your work. 2. Gaining influence without losing your identity ↳ Authenticity matters. Be yourself and connect with others. 3. Turning rejection into opportunity ↳ Use setbacks as stepping stones. Learn and grow from every "no." These women are not just inspiring. Their experiences serve as a masterclass in career growth. Huge thanks to the brilliant voices who shared their wisdom: Kim Scott, Jenny Wood, Natalie (Corporate Natalie), Jean Kang, Dorie Clark, Wes Kao, Alexandra Levit, Jess Ramos, MSBA, Mita Mallick, Soni Basi, Ph.D., Vanessa Van Edwards, Christina Hall (she/her), and Linda Tong. Their stories offer real-world advice for anyone looking to advance their career. Want to learn from them before anyone else?

Has this also happened to you? You’re at the meeting table, full of ideas, but unable to figure out how to make your voice heard? By the time you’ve worked up the courage to speak, someone else has already said it. This happened to me more times than I’d like to admit—and I beat myself up over it every time. These moments taught me a hard truth: being good at your job isn’t enough. You need presence, influence, and clarity to truly stand out. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your career, here’s what I’ve learned: 1️⃣ Your personal brand is your greatest career asset. 2️⃣ Having a roadmap is key to navigating your next steps. 3️⃣ Influence is built through how you show up, not just what you do. That’s why I wrote Unforgettable Presence: Get Seen, Gain Influence, and Catapult Your Career. It’s filled with actionable advice from my own career and insights from three dozen leaders at top companies like SAP, Cisco, and Zoom.

Now, I’d love to hear from you: Do you agree that it’s equally important how you show up, not just what you do? ************** 🚀 I have a big goal—𝟲𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟳!

Most people use LinkedIn the wrong way. They scroll. They lurk. They consume. But they don’t post. They don’t engage. They don’t show up. The result: They miss out on huge opportunities, new relationships (and even friendships), and they stay invisible. But I get it — getting started can feel overwhelming—what should you post? How often? Will anyone even care? That’s why I created the 4Es Framework to help you build your LinkedIn presence step by step. I’ve also categorized content posts into three types (you can choose one or mix and match!). The best part? You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to show up. It’s one of the many frameworks that appear in my upcoming book, 𝐔𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐧, 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫. (Chapter 3 is all about LinkedIn!) ************** 📘 PS.

Presence is not just for executives—it’s something all of us already have. The question is: Is yours unforgettable? :) Your professional presence shapes how others see you, and can open doors (or keep them shut.) Understanding your presence is key to your career, which is why I created 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘇. This 4 minute quiz helps you discover your Presence Persona, or how others see you at work.  Plus, you’ll get a 𝟭𝟱+ 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 packed with steps to improve your presence and boost your impact based on your results! Are you an… ✅ Established Leader You’re making waves. Now it’s time to strengthen your authority and enhance your executive presence. ✅ Confident Communicator You own the room. Now, expand your influence and sharpen your leadership skills. ✅ Hidden Gem You have great potential, but you need to be seen. Take small, smart steps to increase your visibility. ✅ Hesitant Hard Worker You do excellent work, but it often goes unnoticed. Learn to advocate for yourself and showcase your contributions. Whether you want to refine your leadership presence, boost your confidence, or earn the recognition you deserve, this quiz is for you. 💡 Ready to unlock your next level of professional growth? Take the quiz and get your personalized guide to becoming unforgettable at the link in the comments today!

Being good at your job isn’t enough. It’s time to get noticed. Visibility matters. Many skilled workers get overlooked. They work hard, meet deadlines, and deliver results. Yet, others get the promotions and praise. This is a real problem. When your impact goes unseen, you miss out. → You get stuck while others move ahead. → Your ideas fade away without recognition. → You lose chances for leadership roles. I faced this early in my career. I thought hard work would bring me attention. I learned the hard way that visibility, presence, and influence are just as important as skills. I took action. I built strong relationships with decision-makers. I improved my executive presence for a better first impression. I made sure my work reached the right people. The change was clear. I moved from the background to leading projects. I spoke at big events. I built a brand that opened new doors. You deserve to be seen. Take my *NEW* quiz below: Are you overlooked or unforgettable?

When I hired my first team at Prezi, I had 1000s of applications I had to sift through. I was overwhelmed—I wasn’t sure where to start, and I wanted to make sure I was hiring the right people with the right skills who could also grow in their roles. While hiring my first time was fun, it was also a daunting process—and with the current uncertain job market, it’s become even more so for today’s hiring managers. On top of that, leaders now face the challenge of keeping their current teams resourced and happy while you’re building for the future. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with hiring AND retention, join me live for Robert Half Real Talk to get actionable insights on how to: 💪 Motivate and develop: get tips on training, upskilling, and identifying high-potential talent. 👥 Keep momentum: learn best practices and creative solutions to keep projects on track. 🔮 Prepare for the future: gain insights from experts on creating a workforce ready for whatever’s next.

We’re exactly 4 weeks away until book launch!! 😱🙌🤩 (feeling a lot of emotions, clearly haha) I have never been the loudest in a room, nor someone who had natural gravitas and charisma. What I’ve learned over my career is that you don’t have to force yourself to be someone you’re not or be born with certain skills. The way you truly stand out and catapult your career to new heights is by harnessing your professional presence—how and where you’re seen. Here’s what makes someone unforgettable—no matter their role, seniority level, or personality: ✅ They speak with clarity, making complex ideas simple ✅ They exude confidence without arrogance ✅ They engage and influence by building relationships ✅ They leave an impact, even after they’ve left the room Unforgettable Presence™—my upcoming book—dives deep into how you can develop these skills across areas like presentations, meetings, managing up, LinkedIn, and communication. 🎁 To say thank you for your support, I’m giving away the introduction before the book launches so you can get a preview of the strategies inside.

Unforgettable Presence officially became a #1 Bestseller on Amazon and also ranked #1 in New Releases across multiple categories! 🎉 Seeing this book top the charts—before it’s even officially launched—is so exciting and humbling. 🥹 It’s proof that professional presence matters and that so many of you (450+ to be exact, and counting!) are ready to take control of how you show up, get seen, and gain influence. I’m so touched by everyone’s support—a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has preordered, shared, and supported this journey.

The first time I saw my book hit #1 on Amazon, I was in disbelief. It wasn’t just a bestseller—it was the #1 New Release in multiple categories! For months, I poured my energy into Unforgettable Presence, but this? This was the moment it felt real. And yet, we’re only getting started. → Feb 7: 50 preorders   → Feb 15: 100 preorders   → Feb 20: 200 preorders   → Feb 24: 250+ preorders   → March 4: 275+ preorders  My goal is 600 preorders by March 7.

You don’t need to be the loudest person in the room to be the most powerful. Early in my career, I thought success meant speaking up more. So I tried to be louder, jump into conversations quickly, and fill silences. (It was super uncomfortable and didn’t really work for me) Eventually I realized: The most powerful people in the room aren’t always the ones talking the most. 👉 They listen deeply. 👉 They speak with intention. 👉 They command attention—not by volume, but by clarity. I wrote my book, Unforgettable Presence, to help professionals learn how to get seen, gain influence, and catapult theircareers—while allowing themselves to stay true to who they are. If you want to: ✅ Speak so people stop and listen ✅ Build credibility in every interaction ✅ Show confidence without shouting for attention Then this book is for you. Grab your copy (link in comments). Want to pay it forward? You can also donate a copy to a new grad, colleague, or peer who wants to move their career forward but isn’t sure how (DM me if interested!). Presence isn’t about being loud. It’s about being unforgettable. ♻️ Repost to help your network benefit from the lessons in the book. ******** 📖  𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵?

About a month ago I posted a big goal: Get 600 copies of my book pre–ordered on Amazon before March 7. Here’s how we did… 📘 I have just over 300 pre-orders - a number I wouldn’t have gotten close to if I hadn’t started asking for what I want (also I am so excited that 300+ people want to read my book! We have to remember to still appreciate the exciting milestones). 📘 Starting my pre-order push a little early has allowed me to offer even MORE pre-order bonuses and exclusive webinars before the day of launch. Now, the earlier you pre-order, the more bonuses you get access to. 📘 I got more comfortable talking about my book; I thought writing would be the hardest thing but asking people to buy it is very uncomfortable because it feels like I’m talking about it a lot 😅 I’m thankful for the friends in the comments who tell me to keep posting and that people need the reminders! As you can see, I didn’t hit my goal by the deadline. BUT, I still count the past few weeks were still a big success! I still have just over a month to go before my book comes out, so there is still time to hit that goal. If you are looking to… ➡️ Grow your career by working smarter, not harder ➡️ Learn what is stopping you from getting that promotion ➡️ Be seen as a leader instead of continuing to be overlooked despite the potential you know you have … this book is for you! It’s filled with my stories and lessons from my decades-plus experience working at top companies like LinkedIn. I also include 140+ insights from my interviews with business leaders and experts I deeply admire like Daniel Pink, Vinh Giang, Kim Scott, Corporate Natalie, and SO many others. ♻️ Repost this to help someone in your network discover the book and create their own unforgettable presence! *************** 📘PS.

What a WHIRLWIND few days at SXSW. In addition to co-hosting the official LinkedIn Creators Meetup, one of my other favorite events was The Creators Playground, hosted by Kajabi. After winning the “Best Business Creator” award at the Asian Creator Awards last year (sponsored by Kajabi), it was a must-see on my list. 🙂 And, what’s even better is I got to attend with my good friends Linda Le🌻, Jean Kang, and Erica Rankin! 😍 Here were a few of my favorite takeaways from an interview with Colin and Samir: 🔥 Trust is the product. ➕Trust comes before selling anything. Establish that part of your brand first before trying to monetize. 🔥 Don’t rush into business. ➕It’s ok to be a creator on the side. Oftentimes creators want content to be a business too soon. Let yourself have “pure creative expression” without worrying if it will make money. 🔥 Authenticity vs. virality ➕A lot of creators fall victim to going viral, then when they do, that viral topic defines you. Instead, pay more attention to indicators along your journey and see what isn’t working to help you decide what you want to be known for. Thanks to Kajabi for making this event happen!

Promoting your work is not boasting. It matters because: Leaders share their impact. What promoting your work ISN’T: • It’s not being loud or flashy   • It’s not dismissing feedback   • It’s not ignoring team efforts   • It’s not hiding behind your desk   • It’s not bragging about every win   • It’s not just talking about yourself   • It’s not only caring about your role   • It’s not waiting for others to notice  Here’s what it really is about: • Learning from experiences   • Helping others see your impact   • Showing your value to the team   • Sharing solutions for big challenges  • Building connections with colleagues   • Encouraging others to share their wins    • Highlighting your contributions clearly   • Making the workplace better for all  If you want to climb the career ladder,   promote your work effectively.  → It opens doors for new opportunities.   → It helps others understand your value.   → It builds a stronger team dynamic.  Speak up about your work.  Your career will thank you for it. ******** 📘 PS.

LinkedIn is so much more than a job board. It's a thriving space for creators. Yesterday morning, I co-hosted the official LinkedIn Creators Meetup at SXSW with Grace Ling 🐰 from Design Buddies. And it was SO. MUCH. FUN! Here are a few of the key takeaways from our event: ✅ LinkedIn is the future of the creator economy.  It’s not just for resumes anymore. It’s a platform to build authority, grow your business, and connect with an engaged audience. We saw attendees at all different stages in their LinkedIn content journeys across different industries, which was wonderful! ✅ Consistency is key. Showing up regularly and sharing valuable content helps you stand out and stay top of mind. I spoke to a creator who was having trouble staying consistent because you don’t always see engagement right away. This is natural, but it’s important to keep at it; there are so many benefits beyond engagement like finding your voice, building confidence, and staying top of mind. ✅ More brands and creators are realizing the power of the platform. LinkedIn is a place you can make money for your expertise. We saw creators looking to learn how to get sponsored, and brands who came in looking to connect with creators. ✅ Online connection is powerful—but don’t forget those in-person connections, too. I love making friends on LinkedIn and then meeting them in person—and vice versa! Thanks to LinkedIn friends like Al Dea, Jean Kang, Lia Haberman, and Linda Le🌻 for stopping by and for all the new ones who came through too. :) This is the power of LinkedIn—real connections, real opportunities, real impact. What lesson have you learned from creating on LinkedIn? Share it in the comments. I’d love to hear your thoughts. (📸: Selfie with all our amazing attendees—because no creator meetup is complete without one!)

You’ve been hearing a lot about my book lately, but here’s what I’m reading this week on my way to SXSW: 𝘛𝘪𝘯𝘺 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 by Anne-Laure Le Cunff, PhD. We often hear the same old rules: → Pick a major. → Climb the corporate ladder. → Stick to what you're good at. But what if the best chances come from trying new things? Anne-Laure Le Cunff's book, 𝘛𝘪𝘯𝘺 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, flips this idea. She shows us that success isn’t just a straight line. It’s about experimenting, adapting, and reinventing ourselves. Here are some key insights: 1) Curiosity > Certainty. ↳ The best career moves start with a question, not an answer. 2) Small risks = Big rewards. ↳ Trying new things in low-stakes ways can lead to great breakthroughs. 3) Linear careers are outdated. ↳ Success today is about flexibility and reinvention, not rigid roadmaps. If you’re rethinking your next career move, I highly recommend it. Tiny Experiments just launched this week! Grab your copy (link in comments).

I can’t wait to attend SXSW 2025 for the first time, AND even more excited to co-host the official LinkedIn Creator Meet Up with Grace Ling 🐰 from Design Buddies!! Come hang out with us and meet others who are just as passionate about LinkedIn: ✅ Meet top LinkedIn creators ✅ Discuss best practices and share ideas ✅ Get up-to-speed on starting out as a creator I’m excited to meet fellow LinkedIn creators in Austin and have meaningful conversations about how we can continue to leverage the power of my fav platform. 🙂 Are you coming to SXSW?
