Thank you!

We'll let you know as soon as Feminist Social Media is open for enrolment

In the menatime, why not follow me on social media?

Marketing, social media and deliberate self-promotion aren’t a distraction.⁠
⁠
They’re activities that add up to a winning and significant body of work.⁠
⁠
They're not a distraction from ideation. They ARE your ideas.⁠
⁠
Here are 3 counterintuitive but KEY activities for Thought Leaders to commit to for putting their ideas out into the world, developing their body of work and moving forward in their business:⁠
⁠
1. SOCIAL MEDIA.⁠
⁠
It's not *just* about getting attention. Social media can be a lab for cultivating your ideas, so put snippets of ideas out on social, every day.⁠
⁠
2. NETWORKING.⁠
⁠
Having conversations with interesting people -- even preaching to boring ones -- provides creative stimulus and opportunities to forge creative connections and embroider your ideas.⁠
⁠
3. WILD IDLING.⁠
⁠
True thought leadership & meaningful bodies of work require unstructured leisure time and “wild idling.” (h/t @LianneRaymond)⁠
⁠
ONE MORE TIME, WITH FEELING:⁠
⁠
Self-promotion is not a distraction from your body of work.⁠
⁠
It’s part of how you create meaningful work that matters. It's an idea-growing practice.⁠

Dear Multi-Passionate Maker,⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Maybe you don't have Shiny Object Syndrome.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Maybe you've been studying & practicing all of these modalities because you're developing a rich body of work, across time.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
(No maybe about it.)⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Multi-passionate professionals often get told that they're "scattered" & need to focus.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
They then internalize negative messages insisting that  their orientation towards lifelong learning, curiosity & creativity is a barrier to success.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
IT'S NOT.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
It's how we build the deep work & creative solutions needed for these urgent times.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Often, when I work with multi-passionate professionals, it's wildly obvious to me that they're collecting tools, synthesizing across traditions -- and making a whole new thing! -- in order to solve complex social problems.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
They've been gathering all.the.tools.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
You know what all those tools add up to? ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
A practice. A way of doing things. A framework. Your unique process.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
***You have a methodology.*** ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
So let's build language for it and NAME IT, specifically.⁠⠀⁠
⁠
Naming your method makes it tangible AND SALEABLE.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Now it now gets a lot easier to explain it to other people...⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
...and becomes more obvious why they might want to work with you :)⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Once you name it, you substantiate it. ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
****Including to yourself.****⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Now YOU can see how everything you've trained in has led up to this, has prepared you for this work.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
⁠Because, dear Multi-passionate Maker, you're NOT spinning your wheels or getting distracted by shiny things.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
You're growing the solutions & institutions of the future.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Let's make sure you've got the language to describe them. ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
love + justice,⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠
Kelly⁠⠀⁠

I repeat:⁠
⁠
Self-promotion is NOT a distraction from your Body of Work - it’s a lab for your thought leadership!⁠
⁠
People often think social media is frivolous. A time-suck.⁠
⁠
Or that marketing, networking & self-promotion take your time away from the *real* work.⁠
⁠
But in my latest blog post, I’m sharing with you 3 surprising key activities that will add up to a SIGNIFICANT and MEANINGFUL Body of Work.⁠
