How do you know when you've finally found your footing as a creator when you're building your personal brand through online content? Digital culture reporter Jules Terpak joined Handshake to share real-talk advice for finding your place in your field, getting real about:
- How to cultivate your sparks of genuine interest and use curiosity to drive your content creation journey
- How to maintain balance (and boundaries) in a digital world
- Considerations for your digital footprint as you evolve your personal brand with time
- Showing up online in the way that works for you—and throwing "toxic" advice about content cadence out the window
Jules recalled the signals that helped her feel like she'd found her place in her field, and gave insights into the doors that intentional personal branding has opened over the course of her career.
This event was the fourth installment of our “Build your brand” workshop series, a virtual workshop series all about building your personal brand. Each session in this series culminates with a content challenge: event viewers who participate in all five event challenges will receive a bespoke Handshake “Build your brand” workshop certificate of completion to add to your resume, Handshake profile, social media pages, and more — it’s the perfect way to celebrate that you’ve invested in your personal and professional branding skills. 🏆 Post your own video on the Handshake feed to complete the content challenge below and be eligible for your certificate at the end of the summer!
