Right now, LinkedIn members are talking about things like needing more flexibility around where we work, how we work, and even taking time away from work to focus on family or mental health. Those things shouldn't stunt career development and growth. Instead, they should enhance it as we show up on our own terms. It just makes sense that your potential clients, customers, or employers want to hire someone who's authentic– they want to know who you really are. You're more than just a job title.
