    My story

    Four years ago, I got disrupted !
     
     I found myself completely out of my comfort zone in a country where I did not know anyone. Zero networks and no contacts. From being a on a clearly defined career path and in a stable role, here I was with no job and no clear path to anything !
     
    When the culture shock of the new country subsided I decided to take charge of my career and dreams. I decided to experiment with things that I normally would have never tried. One of which was building an online brand and network.
     
    From a fresh off the boat person who had little online presence to :
     
    Top 10 social media influencer in my field; Host of of an international trending twitter chat  + Winner of the Game changer award + Launching a powerful leadership program for women has been quite a journey.
     
    I owe my success not just to hard work but  also to the networks I created -online and off.
     
    In this program I share with you my social media journey and the lessons I learnt to help you understand the importance of networks and how to leverage them both online and off.
      
    I firmly believe that in life there are no accidents, and that you are here tells me there is something from my story that must connect to the journey that you are on. I welcome the connect.

  • Frequently asked questions

    1. Who is this course aimed at ?
    Anyone who is keen to understand the fuss around social media and what it can do for your career. The ideal profile would be a working executive who wants to tap into the power of online networks and digital personal branding. This is an introductory course but there are bound to be insights for intermediate users as well.
     
    2. I am on a career break right now will this still be useful for me ?
    Absolutely ! Infact it is crucial that you take this course so as to keep your visibility and profile up even on a career break. If you are anticipating a break even then you should take the course.
     
    3. I don't like or understand twitter, why are you so excited about it ? I believe Twitter is for breakfast photos !
    You are not alone in feeling this way but I can assure you that the return on investment on the time spent on twitter can be quite high. I am not pushing one platform over another but rather helping you make an informed choice about the pro/cons of the different platforms.
     
    4. I don't have time for social media, this seems like one more item on my to do list !
    We all are leading super busy lives with kids and other commitments that take a lot from us even outside work. However by saying you don't have time for social media is like saying i don't have time for my career ! Let me walk you through some tools that will fit into your schedule and let you engage with social media on the go.
     
    5. Ok, what is the time commitment like for this course ?
     
    We will be meeting for one hour every week online. If you can't make the recording, that is fine, we will email you a link to the recording and the worksheets. Ideally you should budget about 30 min between calls to start sharpening your social media skills. This is a practice oriented course and you will get out of it as much as you put into it. So roughly 90 min per week.
     
    6. What if I have questions ?
    You can always email me during the course modules and also in week 5 we will do a google hangout where you can ask any questions you may have live during the call or send them to me in advance.
     
    7. Do you do one on one coaching as well ?
    Yes, although it is far more cost effective for you to do this course first and then consider that option.
     
    8. When will this course be offered again ?
    Not sure, and even if it is then it will likely be only as a recording and at a different price point.
     
    9. How does this impact my ability to find a job ?
    Like most things in life, it takes investment in social media before it yields results. However you will be head and shoulders above the people who are not leveraging this network. With the right attitude and branding your chances of finding roles that matter & connections with potential employers only getting better.
     
    10. Who can I email for further details ?
    Glad you asked ! Amplify@leadershiftinc.com
