🎯 Top Takeaway from Today's Episode

Our approach to social media and content creation should not be one-size-fits-all. You are unique and so is your audience. It's important to show up in a way that is authentic to who you are and the community you seek to create space for. 

📌 Key Points from the Episode

Thoughts that we can keep in mind while we engage on LinkedIn and other platforms:

1. When we are on these platforms we are seeking to build community, not just promote. People want to connect with someone that they know, like and trust. 
2. Engaging in social media does not have to be a huge all-consuming task. Setting aside time in your schedule to post a thoughtful post, respond to comments, comment on and like others' posts, send a message, etc. can go a long way!
3. It's all H2H. As Tania outlined in the episode, it's important for us to remember that while we are entrepreneurs, we are still humans who are engaging with other humans.
