Known For Being You - Jodie Goodchild

Kat speaks with Jodie Goodchild who helps people to become 'Known For' using personal branding on LinkedIn . She explains how being your authentic self and building strong habits helps you to do that and how to use the free version of LinkedIn to build your brand. Together, she and Kat explore what it truly means to be successful, the journey to self-discovery, and the importance of living authentically. You'll hear honest stories about breaking free from societal expectations, building a personal brand, finding your purpose, the value of supportive communities and, of course, the positive habits that help you to do all of that. KEY TAKEAWAYS  True success isn’t defined by or confined to conventional milestones e.g. getting married. True fulfilment comes from defining your own purpose and pursuing your “why”. Embracing your authentic self, even when it goes against social norms, leads to personal growth and self-acceptance.  Authenticity is at the heart of a strong personal brand. By sharing your real experiences, everyday moments, and core values, you naturally connect with others, inspire trust, and build a supportive community around you. When you are authentic, personal branding becomes far easier.  Having the courage to leave a comfortable but unfulfilling path can lead to a more meaningful life. Overcoming the urge to please others is essential for personal integrity, self-care and growth. Regular journaling helps to clarify your thoughts and process your feelings. It empowers you to take charge of your mindset and personal narrative. Facing setbacks with resilience and positivity transforms adversity into valuable lessons and sources of strength. BEST MOMENTS "I don't think success necessarily has anything to do with the money you've got in the bank, because I know people that have got a lot of money, but they are miserable.” "You have to be who you feel like on the inside and not give a whatever about what anyone else thinks ... it sucks the life out of you if you try and pretend to be somebody that you're not.” "We have all of the answers within ourselves." “You get one life ..it actually doesn´t matter what anyone else thinks.” ABOUT THE GUEST Jodie - LinkedIn ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector.
