As an ambivert (someone who’s in the middle of the introvert-extrovert continuum) I understand that self promotion can feel uncomfortable. The idea of ‘putting myself out there’ is something I have slowly learnt to embrace. It’s meant getting comfortable with people referring to me as a LinkedIn expert.
I love Substack as a place to read, learn and write and I want to integrate what I know about LinkedIn with what I’m learning here.
Sharing my free LinkedIn resources with you is about sharing my expertise and connecting in a way that gives you a sense of more parts of me.
I am slowly working out how to integrate my passion and business projects here on Substack. While I rationally know the discomfort of revealing more parts of myself is good for me, I was drawn to the safety of Substack as a place to write for therapy. A place where I could let go of the inhibitions I’d attached to my status as someone who had 14,000 followers on LinkedIn, compared to 49 subscribers here on Substack.
There was a joy in this anonymity. The freedom to do or say whatever I wanted. But who created those rules? They were self imposed and holding me back.
My journey on Substack is the continuation of aligning my professional goals with my online presence, crafting narratives that bring my core values to my essays and insights. This means honesty, integrity, playfulness and the occasional gentle nudge because I enjoy and understand the immense value in taking action over remaining stuck in procrastination.
As I get to know myself better and learn to expand my emotional vocabulary I hope there’ll be more of KPH here.
Sharing the different parts of me in my essays here on Substack goes beyond surface-level appearances and practical tips. It requires me to do the work, which feels hard for someone who’s relied on the denial channel for so many years.
It also feels exciting, fun and scary. I am grateful to
for the encouragement to view Substack as a place to have a good time.
I’m resolved that this is an ongoing process – one that will evolve as I grow and learn more about myself, and you - my reader and listener.
