Samanta P.

Today I want to do a throwback to 2019... Anastasia Arwas and I were sitting by the rooftop pool of our Airbnb in Buenos Aires, but we didn’t feel like jumping into the water. We felt sick to our stomachs 🤢 Our deadline was approaching. We had given up our apartment and reserved 18 months for a trip around the world. In that time, we were supposed to find a way to make money online. We didn’t want to do our corporate job in a freelance setup ... we wanted to do “our own thing” — something where we would decide what it is and be passionate about. Here we were, sitting and checking the Google Analytics of our blog. 6000 unique website visitors. It had taken lots of time and effort to get here. We had thought that once we had grown a big enough audience, we would be able to get clients and earn a living online. But the reality of it was: $3 in ads income + $25 from an affiliate commission. 3 months left to prove we could “make it” and we made $28?! How would that ever replace a corporate salary? The thought of going back and writing this off as a "failed" experiment made our stomachs turn. We knew we had to go ALL IN on our business. We invested in multiple courses and mentors. Typing in our credit card details to purchase a $3k program was terrifying. But we were committed to learning about growing online. Although we learned a lot from our mentors, they didn’t solve our problem. ... UNTIL WE REALIZED THIS 👇🏼 ❌ The problem was NOT our audience size. The problem was that we were missing THE fundamental part of our business. This ONE thing was the reason why (even with 100k IG followers), there was no way we could ever make money if we didn’t tackle it first. ✨ Once we fixed it, we made our first $3k (without growing in traffic or followers)! AND after optimizing that one thing, we eventually celebrated our first $8k WEEK! — while traveling and working only 3 hrs/day. Do you want to know what “the thing” was?👀 Reply VALUE and I'll tell you all about it 🙃 #digitalnomad #travelpreneur #remotebusiness #locationindependent #onlinebiz Generation Nomads

Today I had an inspiring conversation with Miguel Regedor who has been building Wellbeing Warrior! 🙌🏻 (They got a cool name too.) As a company grows beyond 50 employees, keeping the team engaged and connected becomes increasingly challenging, especially in a remote setup. This is even more difficult for scaling companies that may expand to hundreds of employees in a short time. Disconnection can lead to burnout and negatively impact mental health. Miguel and his team address this by introducing a range of customizable, innovative features tailored to the needs of each company. Make your company a happy place! 🚀Check it out and try here: https://lnkd.in/dqW_tVrz

#continuouseducation We are part of a profession in which continuous development is necessary to better understand and help our clients. 🔊 This weekend, I have been part of an international bunch, discussing TA in the workplace. Great experience discussing psychological contract and how to renegotiate it at every step in our personal or professional relationships: ➡ Administrative contract: setting time, place, formal work conditions. ➡ Professional contract: setting expectations regarding what - who - how will do at the job ➡ Psychological contract: implicit expectations in the work relationship. A breach on any of them, will impact all of them. Therefore, the implicit must be made explicit on any level. Workshop until lunch, voting in the afternoon. 😎

“Discovery. Talent. Leadership” This week we kicked off the YouPlanet Advisory Board, which I am very proud to be a part of Luis de Val thanks for the trust. Why do I want to team up with YouPlanet as a member of the Advisory Board? Let me highlight three reasons: 1) A new world to discover. I am convinced that mixing different backgrounds and experiences in a team brings a lot of value. I am happy to be asked to make my strategic contribution to the board. 2) True creative talent. There is no greater professional pleasure than intellectual challenge and this is a constant in YouPlanet with more than 100 multidisciplinary professionals. 3) Strong leadership. Companies that have clear leadership that wants to grow the team to reach its maximum potential make a difference. And YouPlanet has it with Luis. True growth mindset. In the pic with Luis de Val. Playing global with YouPlanet! 🌏😃

Why I'm Offering Training for Leadership and Management to Become Fractional 🥂 Because I can. 😎 Because I’m chilling in Barcelona for a few weeks. 🎉 Because I’m tired of the same old LinkedIn celebrations: "Promoted to Senior Level" or "Congratulate X for 7 Years at Y." Are we really celebrating that? 🎉 😭 Because... are you going to sit and wait to be laid off again? I don’t believe in a Plan B. There is only Plan A: a plan where we take full responsibility for our careers, leadership, and growth. 🦅 The training starts on Tuesday, May 28th. It has a cost. It has way too many benefits. You can pay in crypto. The cost is way too low for what you get, guaranteed. If I hired you in that "full-time job" please reach out for an important discount. 🙏 Interested? DM me for the link. If not, you can also DM me! 🤗 #FractionalManagement #LeadershipTraining #BecomingFractional #TheUXTeam #FractionalCPO #FractionalCMO #FractionalCTO #FractionalCXO #FractionalProductDesign #FractionalUXDirector #FractionalVPUX #FractionalLeadership #Freedom #Fractional #FutureLeadership #GlobalCommunity

Rebranding isn’t just for companies. Despite having a strong professional background and a wealth of experience, I felt a disconnect between who I was and how I was presenting myself to the world. My personal brand seemed to lack the essence of what truly made me unique. Rebranding isn’t just for companies; it’s equally crucial for individuals. It's about rediscovering yourself and aligning your personal and professional identities. Here’s how I approached it: 1. Self-Reflection: I took a step back to reflect on my journey, my achievements, my passions, and my goals. I asked myself, "What do I stand for? What value do I bring to the table?" 2. Feedback: I reached out to trusted colleagues, mentors, and friends for their honest feedback. Understanding how others perceived me helped me identify areas that needed a fresh perspective. 3. Learning and Growth: I invested in learning new skills and staying updated with industry trends. Personal growth became an integral part of my rebranding journey. Rebranding is an ongoing process, and it requires effort and dedication. But it’s also incredibly rewarding. If you’re feeling stuck or misaligned, maybe it’s time to consider a rebrand. Embrace the journey and let your true self shine through. My name is Grace Akoth, and I work with businesses to offer HR Consultancy services and Training. I empower individuals/job seekers to articulate their skills, accomplishments, and unique value propositions. I collaborate closely with them to create tailored resumes that capture their professional essence. By leveraging my expertise, I enhance candidates' chances of landing interviews and fulfilling their career ambitions. Let's Connect! Thank to Moses Solonka for my new linkedin banner.
