[Podcast] HR Guidance on Visibility and Promoting Your Side Business


Reader,

If you're worried talking about your side business will get you fired from your job, this episode is a must-listen.

I share practical tips as a HR practitioner in my full-time job while raising visibility and publicly promoting my side business.

This one is dedicated to

  • The lurkers - those of you harboring dreams of starting your own business but are afraid bosses will see you
  • The timid ones - those of you self-censoring your message, afraid that speaking your truth will get you cancelled
  • The lost ones - those of you confused about what you even should talk about, what's your niche and who you help

I hope this episode gives you some guidance and clarity on your immediate next steps.
