Here is a bit more about Amber: "If YOU are the primary thing standing in the way of your next success, we should talk. I’m from a small, blue-collar town. I grew up in poverty. I was homeschooled until 7th grade. And I also didn’t graduate from high school. Fast-forward and I found myself managing a team, at a tech startup, in San Francisco (maybe you’ve heard of it…kind of an up-and-coming little town) This wasn’t just any startup, it was the newest “unicorn” tech startup (which means the company grew to a billion-dollar valuation within 5 years). I was surrounded by the most educated, smart, successful people I had ever been around. I went to a state school. They went to Ivy League schools. To say that I felt inferior is a big understatement. I felt like the biggest Imposter. Didn’t they know that I shouldn’t be there? At any moment I was sure they were going to find out that I didn’t belong, and they would kick me out. The primary reason any of us feels the Imposter Syndrome is because we feel like the odd one out. We worry that people are going to discover that we aren’t “supposed to” be there. I was able to overcome my Imposter Syndrome. Someone asked me where I learned all about all of this, and I really think it was out of necessity. Because I’ve seen the other side, I want desperately to help people who are in the position I was in. I see now that it’s SO unnecessary to be held back by the Imposter Syndrome. Don’t let it suck up one more ounce of your energy." amberdeibert.com/consult and a bit more about Davidson Back in Jan 2017, I was a SDR making $78k a year, but I didn't have a lot of confidence in myself and I started hiring a coach and throughout the last 7 years, I hired 9 different coaches who helped me go from SDR to Strategic AE at world-class organizations such at TriNet, my journey was SMB AE at LinkedIn, MM AE at CoachHub, Ent AE at Udemy and then Sales Director at Fortune Magazine. Because of all of the support and investing $150k (traveling the world going to conferences to learn from millionaires and the most successful people in the world) into world-class training/development, I've been able to publish four books, grow my brand pretty significantly, started a men groups, publish 300 podcast episodes. I am offering you the opportunity to get promoted. Be super intentional about your career, navigate the politics, and build the confidence within yourself to reach all of your dreams and more.

In this article, you will learn why creating a LinkedIn Newsletter is beneficial, along with its pros and cons. We'll also cover how to get started and feel comfortable sharing yourself in a professional environment like LinkedIn. Why Create a LinkedIn Newsletter? Lead Generation: A newsletter can drive traffic to your profile and increase leads. Brand Building: Establish your personal or company brand as a thought leader. Networking: Engage with your audience and build meaningful connections. Legacy: Inspired by Alex Hormozi's approach of providing immense value for free, a newsletter can help you leave a lasting impact. Pros and Cons Pros: Direct communication with your audience Higher engagement compared to regular posts Ability to share long-form content Establishing authority in your niche Cons: Requires consistent effort and time. Content creation can be challenging. Potential initial low engagement. Getting Started Define Your Purpose: Understand why you want to start a newsletter and what you aim to achieve. For me, I want to help others build their professional brand because it has done so much for me in terms of my career. I want to help others by breaking down the steps, especially if they are starting off and they aren't even sure what to write about. Choose Your Niche: Select a specific area of expertise you are passionate about. If you have many interests, like I do. Just pick one and start. Create a Content Plan: Plan your content themes, frequency, and types of posts (e.g., articles, case studies, tips). Just start writing; it doesn't have to be brilliant. If you find yourself comparing. Then Just STOP. Notice why you are feeling that way. Are you feeling insecure because you think your boss will think you aren't focused on the right activities? Having this self-awareness will help you realize whether you are making things up or if they are true. Sharing Yourself on LinkedIn Be Authentic: Share personal stories and experiences to connect with your audience. You will build relationships organically. When I went on my 16-day Solo Road Trip to Canada, I stopped by and met some people that I'd never met in real life. We became friends through Social media, and we engaged with each other's content on the Asian American Experience. Provide Value: Offer actionable insights and advice. For instance, let's say you have 1,000 subscribers and you compare yourself to people who have 5,000 subscribers. You forget that most people don't have a LinkedIn, so your advice can be helpful, especially for those in the beginning stages. Engage with Your Audience: Respond to comments and encourage discussions. This is something I need to get better at. Especially if you have the habit of going down the rabbit hole of spending too much time on social media. I've found it much easier to make content recently than consume it all the time. There needs to be a balance, so set what those boundaries for you. Consistency: Post regularly to keep your audience engaged. Make sure you have a game plan or a goal. Let's say my goal is to have 52 Newsletter Articles in 2024. It's good to have a long-term goal because you don't want to be so hard on yourself. Let's say you want to take a break during the summer. You can block off 3 hours and bang out 6 LinkedIn Newsletters, and be five weeks ahead of plan.

Unveiling the Mind: A Dialogue Between a Psychologist and a Life Coach Introduction to the Episode: In this compelling episode, we bridge the worlds of clinical psychology and life coaching to explore the depths of the human psyche, strategies for coping with life's pressures, and the journey toward emotional wellness and leadership excellence. Featuring a seasoned clinical psychologist with a passion sparked by the intriguing world of abnormal psychology, and a life coach dedicated to empowering individuals, this dialogue offers a unique perspective on mental health, leadership, and personal growth. Sparking the Interest in Psychology: Our psychologist guest shares the moment their journey began during an undergrad class in Abnormal Psychology. Captivated by the professor's ability to make complex psychological concepts approachable and relatable, they embarked on a path to understanding and empathizing with the myriad experiences of the human condition. This segment delves into the power of education and curiosity in shaping one's career path. Moments of Change: A heartwarming story of helping a patient cope with the sweltering heat of a New York summer by assisting them in obtaining a free air conditioner exemplifies the tangible impact of psychological support. This story highlights the rewarding aspect of the profession, showcasing how small interventions can significantly enhance someone's quality of life. Leadership Under Pressure: The discussion shifts to the challenges high-performing executives and managers face, particularly the struggle with delegating tasks and relinquishing control. Our psychologist underscores the importance of recognizing one's strengths and limitations to maximize efficiency and foster a successful team dynamic. This insight is crucial for leaders learning to balance personal performance with empowering others. Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Styles: Exploring effective leadership styles, our guests discuss the significance of authenticity and emotional intelligence in inspiring and connecting with team members. They emphasize that a leader's ability to be genuine and understand the emotional landscape of their team can lead to deeper connections and more inspired performance. Understanding Pathology and Coping: Defining pathology as the point where an individual's coping mechanisms are overwhelmed by stress, our psychologist provides a relatable explanation of how varying levels of coping abilities impact people's experiences with stress and pressure. This segment offers a compassionate view of mental health struggles, emphasizing the relativity and uniqueness of each person's experience. Emotions as Signals: Highlighting the importance of tuning into one's emotions rather than tuning them out, our psychologist and life coach discuss how emotions serve as signals that guide us toward understanding our needs and finding solutions. This powerful message encourages listeners to see emotions as tools for introspection and growth. Mindfulness and Self-Care: Concluding the episode, our guests share practical advice for enhancing mindfulness and self-care. Recognizing triggers like anger, hunger, or fatigue, and engaging in practices such as meditation, yoga, or simply being present in the moment, are discussed as strategies to improve one's capacity for mindfulness and overall well-being. Conclusion: This episode serves as a bridge between the fields of psychology and life coaching, offering a rich dialogue on the complexities of the mind, the challenges of leadership, and the path to emotional wellness. By combining insights from both disciplines, our guests provide a comprehensive look at how understanding our minds and emotions can lead to a more fulfilling life.
