Summary

LinkedIn is having a moment, don't you think? Callie Schweitzer might be the reason. As the Global Creator Programs Lead at LinkedIn, she oversees its Creator Accelerator Program, part of the platform's $25 million commitment to supporting creators. The pandemic has had significant impacts everywhere, but at LinkedIn, it has shifted the platform from a place where you simply have a profile to a community of generosity, learning, and real-talk. People have discarded the traditional ways of communicating and become more vulnerable, creative, personal and inspiring. In this episode, Callie shares how to hone your thought leadership, have the confidence to raise your hand for opportunities and seize white space for roles that don't exist. She also shares the importance of not discounting your experiences even if they do not fit the traditional professional view and why you should connect and interact often with people who have similar interests. Pro tip: If you are uncomfortable sharing, focus on amplifying others on LinkedIn!

0:00.0	Hi, everyone.
0:08.7	It's Elisa Likt here, your host, and I'm so thrilled to share that my new book, On Brand,
0:14.3	Shape Your Narrative, Share Your Vision, Shift Their Perception, is out now.
0:20.6	I hope you'll pick up a copy because personal branding is for
0:23.9	everyone. It's for the new graduate starting out, the middle manager looking to level up,
0:28.9	the executive who wants to be a thought leader, the entrepreneur starting from scratch.
0:34.2	It's for anyone who wants to pivot or transition into something new. Because having
0:39.4	a strong personal brand means that your name gets dropped in rooms, you're not in, and that
0:44.7	you're thought of for opportunities that other people haven't even heard of yet. So pick up a
0:49.8	copy, and I can't wait to hear what you think.

1:11.6	on your way. With a massive to-do list and a large cup of coffee, I promise that you can get it
1:17.4	all done and still have time to post about it. I recently invited Callie Schweitzer to join me for
1:26.2	a fireside chat at Leave Your Mark Community. For those of you who
1:29.6	aren't aware, leaveyourmark community.com is a private and vetted professional development and networking
1:35.9	community for aspiring young professionals. And we have guest speakers. And Callie was one of our guest
1:41.3	speakers. As the global creator programs lead at LinkedIn, I thought Callie could come in and really shed some light to our members on the importance of a LinkedIn presence and how to really stand out.
1:54.5	So during this fireside chat, I was just listening to what Callie was saying and dropping all these pearls of wisdom.
