Ep. 31. Build Your Unique Thought Leadership on Social Media with Cheryl Lau

What do you want to be known for? How can you show up authentically on social media? On today’s podcast, I invited side hustle coach Cheryl Lau to share with us some practical tips on how everyone of us can develop our story and thought leadership and translate that to marketing content. Cheryl helped me at the beginning of my journey when I was building my coaching practice, and in this episode, we walked through how to deal with some real life hiccups that I’ve heard from clients and other creatives in the realm of developing online content. Listen as Cheryl shares her inspiring journey of shifting from law and academia to a committed coaching role, in which she now emboldens fellow side hustlers and entrepreneurs to develop their unique thought leadership.
