The Art of Charm
Edutainment and Sharing Practical Lessons
Goldie recommends sharing learning lessons and practical takeaways as less scary, high-value content for peers and bosses.
What if the fastest way to future-proof your career isn’t networking — it’s owning your story? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with Goldie Chan, Forbes columnist and "Oprah of LinkedIn" as named by Huffington Post, to unpack how personal branding creates opportunities long before résumés do.
Goldie shares how she went from shy creator to “The Oprah of LinkedIn,” why introverts have a unique advantage in today’s attention economy, and how anyone can build a personal brand without dancing on camera or posting every day. This conversation breaks down the simple, repeatable steps to make your digital footprint work for you.
Whether you want to get noticed by recruiters, stand out in your field, or create more leverage in your career, this episode gives you the framework to build visibility and credibility on your own terms.
