Your Digital Reputation

50. Shirley Chowdhary, Chair & NED | The Power of One LinkedIn Post

Your Digital Reputation

Show Notes

This episode of Your Digital Reputation is one of a kind. It explores one leader's story behind just one hugely impactful post.

Host Roger Christie is joined by Shirley Chowdhary, respected Chair, Non-Executive Director and Advisor to a range of organisations. Shirley was recently awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of Sydney - an honour she found challenging to share beyond those closest to her. This episode follows the way she wrestled with sharing the news, what she ended up posting, and the phenomenal impact of sharing her story - how it unlocked courage and belief for those looking on.

Tune in to hear her raw, honest and empowering story that will have you rethinking the way you use LinkedIn, and the power of legacy online.
