When you're making a pivot, there can be pressure to feel like you have to keep up with everyone else on platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and TikTok. You don't. In this episode, I talk about things you can do to still be active on social media platforms, build an audience, and make a name for yourself without feeling like you need to be an expert in an area you just pivoted into. I share where you can go to learn, absorb, and become more confident- plus build new relationships. I also share some behind-the-scenes info on how I'm approaching this season of The Winding Road and how I'm building it. Here are links to some of the things mentioned in this episode:Books:The Long Game by Dorie ClarkPivot by Jenny BlakeFree Time by Jenny BlakeCommunities:MOProsPavilionRevGeniusJenny Blake's BFFCertified MasteryHubSpot Solutions Partner Facebook GroupFollow Winding Road Careers:Website: https://www.windingroadcareers.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/windingroadcareers/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/winding-road-careers/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewindingrdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/windingroadcareers
