The day I typed this title in caps, I had attended a webinar about how to optimize one's LinkedIn profile for thought leadership. It was actually a really good session, but through it, the thought kept popping up in my head, almost rejecting what I was listening to. I DON'T WANT TO BE A CREATOR. I don't need 10,000 people to follow me on LinkedIn. I want to share insights when I'm actually bursting to make a point, and not find something to say everyday just to keep up with the algorithm.
I believe we are all born to be creative, so this is definitely not me railing against creativity. Maybe I'm overly personalizing and need to just accept the game as the game. Visibility is key. Personal branding & dat.
On the other hand, maybe I could embrace it as some creative outlet. An exercise in stepping out of my comfort zone since the idea stresses me so much. Probably overly personalizing again, but if I'm going to do this, I want to figure out a way to communicate value professionally, in a way that is useful to others AND authentic to me.
