Naturally, this road is paved with many imposter syndrome-related struggles, but once we come to terms with who we are, those struggles are well worth it.We also touch on the promotion of the ICON Retreat and what goes into organizing such a significant event. Spoiler: The keywords are definitely trust and authenticity.I truly enjoyed my conversation with Pamela, and I’m sure you will as well!Takeaways:Appearing authentically online and building a community requires doing things that you genuinely care about and that align with your values.Sharing opinions on social media should come from a place of genuine interest, education, and a desire to help rather than just forwarding and sharing without understanding.Navigating sensitive topics and sharing personal experiences can be challenging, but it is important to speak up and create a safe space for marginalized groups.Personal growth and transformation can lead to changes in perspectives and approaches, and it is important to embrace and navigate these changes.Building a community requires trust and authenticity.Here's where you can connect with Pamela:InstagramYouTubePodcastICON Retreat(Note: All of Pamela's channels are currently in Croatian, but that shouldn't stop you from taking a look and getting to know her better!)_______________________________________Let's connect on LinkedIn:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjalordanic/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can donate and support this podcast here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/freelancebusinessunlocked⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you and see you next week!
