For as long as I can remember, I have loved writing. I started by writing short stories when I was a kid, fun and playful storylines about female pirates who make stew out of a man named Stu (I still have this story stashed away). Later came journal entries, travel blogs, and professional assignments. My writing has often been described as sounding the same as I speak. I like that!
Prose is my latest venture into blogging, it will be a weekly blog that covers the stories I feel inspired to write and share. It’s not all marketing advice, it’s more stories from my life and experiences, possibly woven in with a moral of the story or lesson learned (like a fairytale).
My only guarantee is that it will be creative, playful, and probably have run on sentences and some grammar mistakes (to err is human). It will also be a connection between me and you each week. I hope you’ll join me on this writing adventure.
Welcome to Prose
What’s this? Michelle is writing a blog again! Welcome to Prose, a place where it feels like we’re sitting having tea or coffee (a cuppa) and I’m telling you a very interesting story.
What Does Your LinkedIn Profile Say About Your Professional Brand?
In my career, I have had the chance to see many headshots for the purposes of promoting blog writers, events, podcast speakers, and new team members. I am surprised by how many leaders have terrible headshots. I will be using Zorro, Olaf, and Pablo to help illustrate common LinkedIn profile mistakes and how you can update them.
