I also notice fakes or the people who only want something a mile away. They are painfully transparent, and not my jam at all. I posted on LinkedIn that I was in need of a … Continue reading Network is a verb so put some action behind it

Everyone’s doing it. Posting images of their various Zoom conferences, happy hours, team meetings and other virtual events on social media, particularly LinkedIn. I am personally getting tired of seeing so many, but I don’t judge how others use social media. I can just scroll past the items that don’t interest me. I’m also keen on using the tools provided, whether it’s muting content, unfollowing … Continue reading Should you be seeking permission before posting Zoom meetings on social media?
I lost a client and life goes on
