A conversation with Mildred Talabi - LinkedIn Top Voice

For me, this is another brilliant conversation with the lovely Mildred Talabi, a LinkedIn Top voice with over 55,000 followers! She is a LinkedIn visibility and personal branding coach for female leaders - and definitely practices what she preaches. An interesting conversation about LinkedIn, what you need to do to be more visible on LinkedIn, and the importance of personal branding - which I confess I totally ignored and didn't understand the importance of until this conversation. And further on in the conversation more tips and advice for individuals wanting to start a business or advance their career in employment.We even talk about a popular Netflix show, #TUDUM, lol which surrounds a conversation about purpose, vision, and being intentional.I hope as always that this episode is encouraging for whatever stage you are in your life.Enjoy!For more information about Mildred Talabi, contact her via LinkedIn.She is running a Visible and Profitable 30-Day LinkedIn Challenge!
