from Cultivating Executive Presence · host Justin M. Nassiri
I hate social media.That's not something you'd expect to hear from the CEO of a LinkedIn ghostwriting company. But it's true. And I think it's the most important thing I can tell you before anything else in this episode.Because the discomfort most leaders feel around LinkedIn visibility? I feel it too. After four years of posting. After hundreds of posts. It still stings when something I care about lands in the void. The edge doesn't go away.What changes is that the discomfort becomes purposeful. And that's a completely different thing.In this episode, I share more of my own experience than I usually do - including the meditation retreat post that fell completely flat, the Stanford Business School reunion where I didn't have to explain what I was up to because everyone already knew, and what I've learned from watching the shyest, most reluctant clients generate the most powerful responses when they finally speak.What You'll Learn:• Why the discomfort of posting doesn't go away - and why that's actually the honest answer• The difference between being ignored and being criticized - and which one stings more• Why authenticity alone isn't a strategy (and the meditation retreat post that taught me that)• Why the most reluctant leaders tend to have the most powerful voice when they finally use it• The Stanford reunion: what the compound effect of visibility actually feels like in a room• How to reframe visibility from ego to service - and why that changes everything• Finding your voice in public: why it's messy, iterative, and worth it anywayIf the idea of posting on LinkedIn makes you uncomfortable - this episode is for you.
