Check out the post and see how you can change your perspective!

Pro Tips

Personal Branding

It may not be obvious, but personal branding and imposter syndrome are more connected than they seem.

Embracing this connection can turn self-doubt into a powerful asset for your professional image. When you enhance your reputation, you can boost your professional credibility and influence.

There’s a lot out there about personal brand, but I really enjoyed this article in the Harvard Business Review (HBR).

Take a look and let me know what you think.

My Blog Got a Facelift

Back in 2021, I was in a bit of a pickle.

You see, my CIH certification was coming due and my maintenance points were, let’s say, on the light side.

So, what did I do?

I started writing technical articles on industrial hygiene.

And guess what?

It turned out to be a blast!

And now my website has a fresh new look.

Who says that an article on Occupational Exposure Limits has to be boring?

Happy reading!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

I’m excited to dive into new articles on Safety + Leadership soon.

Let me know what you think about the new blog, OK?

See you next week.

I encourage you to find the courage to be bitched about.
