Just want to share some positivity!
I’m pretty vulnerable on my LinkedIn (maybe even borderline cringe lol) but ppl watch and are often times secretly inspired. I haven’t spoken to this former colleague in years and he never engaged with me on LinkedIn… until now.
See, sharing your accomplishments and failures on LinkedIn may not be such a bad thing. You may 1. be inspiring someone or 2. realize you need a contact to help you with something.
