ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this podcast we chat to South African freelancer Yolanda Sissing.

From her base in the UK she explains how a near-death experience made her realise filling in KPI reports for a boss wasn’t what she wanted.

She’s now found her niche freelancing for purpose-driven clients and shares her strategies for getting clients through networking, content marketing, LinkedIn and Instagram Lives. 

Yolanda discusses the importance of setting work-life boundaries, leveraging community support, and pursuing long-term goals (if you watch the video version you’ll get to see her actual mood board!). 

We also get an introduction to the Anti-Social Socialites - the community which Yolanda co-founded to help people uncomfortable with traditional networking. And from that, the power of LinkedIn audio rooms.

She might not like small talk, but there's big things to enjoy about this episode.

Available as a video podcast too - Watch Yolanda here on the site, on YouTube, or Spotify. Enjoy!
