LinkedIn Post Creator Skill

You can create a voice guide with your AI agent by copying and pasting your LinkedIn posts content into your conversation so it can learn your style and wording.

October Series - Reaching your Network (Session 5)
Are you missing out on opportunities? Most job seekers don’t follow up after applications or interviews. Even fewer take the time to learn from rejection. The cost of not following up or seeking feedback is that you miss out on valuable information and opportunities to improve. Staying stuck in the same patterns leads to frustration and wasted effort. Building a follow-up system and actively seeking feedback helps you identify trends, such as why you were declined or rejected, and allows you to iterate and get better with each attempt. Getting feedback from your "job search system" is crucial for finding patterns and making meaningful change in your career.

Am I Getting in My Own Way? How to Stop Self-Sabotaging
Am I Getting in My Own Way? How to Identify and Stop Self-Sabotage I have a question I need you to answer honestly — without judgment and without shame. Are you someone who constantly procrastinates on the things that would actually make your life better? Do you find yourself avoiding the very opportunities you've been dreaming about? Have you been a people pleaser your whole life even when it hurts you? Do you look around and feel like everyone else is moving forward while you're standing still — and you have no idea why? If you answered yes to any of those, I have some news for you. You're self sabotaging. And you have been for a while. I know that sounds like a lot. But here's what I also need you to hear: 9 in 10 adults engage in self sabotaging behavior. This doesn't mean you're broken, lazy, or unworthy of the life you want. It means you're human — and nobody ever taught you how to get out of your own way. That's exactly what this workshop is for. In this free 30-minute live event, I'm going to show you what self sabotage actually is, where it comes from, and most importantly how to finally start breaking free from it. You're going to leave this session having identified your own patterns in real time. Some of what comes up might surprise you. It might even sting a little. But I promise you: the moment you can see it, you can start changing it. Here's what we're going to cover: • The truth about self sabotage that most people get completely wrong — it's not your fault • Why 95% of your daily decisions are being made for you without your knowledge, and how that's been keeping you stuck • The two root causes behind every self sabotaging behavior, and a live exercise to figure out which one is running your life • The first real step toward breaking the cycle This workshop is for you if: • You keep putting off the things you know would change your life • You feel like you want to hit a goal, but something inside you won't let you go after it • You've been a people pleaser your whole life and finally want to stop it I want to be real with you; this is some of the most important work you will ever do. Not just for yourself, but for the people around you too. The patterns we're going to uncover in this session don't just affect your goals — they affect your relationships, your finances, your sense of self, and your ability to actually enjoy the life you're working so hard to build. Attendees will receive an exclusive offer at the end of the session — 50% off a 1:1 coaching session with me, and a free copy of my ebook You vs. You: How to Overcome Self Sabotage.
