Your Personal Branding Gal💕 | Keynote Speaker, Consultant & Mentor | B&T Women in Media Finalist | Mental Health Advocate

I'm here to disrupt the LinkedIn platform with refreshing content and uncomfortable truths from a first gen Asian Australian millennial. 

I wear a lot of different hats - keynote speaker, social strategist at DDB and personal branding expert. But my heart passion comes down to one focus - content creation. And I wish I start sooner. Growing up I was always told that I would never make it as a creator and I would never make it in the world of social. But here I am, challenging every 'no' I was ever told and sharing my story to inspire others to start chasing their dreams. 

And if you've made it all the way down here, let's keep the good vibes flowing:

We’re only 6 weeks into 2026 and I’ve already achieved one of my biggest goals. 🤯

I landed my first travel brand deal! 

Outside my 9 to 5 I am a lifestyle content creator which not only helps with my day job working at Melbourne Social Co but has been a really great way to increase my confidence within my personal brand. 

Although I’m not labelled as a travel creator, I love sharing my authentic experiences with my audience and this was a great way to challenge my creativity and put my experience running photoshoots to good use. 

My goal for the brand partnership:
💡Think about what my audience want to see
💡Create shareable content with good cut through  
💡Capture premium but relatable content 
💡Build out the beginnings of my travel portfolio for opportunities 

Sometimes saying yes to something outside your comfort zone leads to the best outcomes. 🚀

This is the biggest LinkedIn cheat code. 🚀

Putting in the time. 
Creating valuable content. 
Building lasting relationships. 
Connecting with your audience. 

The cheat code is there is no cheat code. 🫣

You can’t hack your way to audience growth or meaningful engagement, if you want your personal brand to cut through you need to give it the time and love it deserves. 

Some weeks will be great. 
Others won’t. 

But then in 12 months time see how far you’ve come.  

If you look at some of the leading top voices they all have one thing in common - they put in the time. 

So if you came here for an overnight growth hack, I’m sorry to disappoint 😅

Today I was reminded why I do what I do. 🔥

At the end of last year, I lost my love for LinkedIn and pretty much stopped posting altogether. Today, I was in a room surrounded by so many people that I actually met through personal branding and my LinkedIn. It was surreal! 

Being in the room reminded me of my love and passion for LinkedIn, as well as the importance of connection. It showed me you can meet some incredible people just through a personal brand. It reminded me the power your personal brand can have, and that showing up and putting in effort can mean so much more than just your job title. 

It was so fantastic to celebrate the launch of KIC's new long form newsletter The Ritual, thanks for getting me in the room Nicole Maycroft!💕

And this is your reminder, that there's a reason you're building your personal brand, there's a reason to show up. Don't let the self doubt take over.

Here’s one of the best things that you can do for your personal brand in 2026. 👀

Stop caring what people think. Start showing up. 

Whether it’s in the workplace or online - start sharing content as a thought leader.🚀

The creator economy is flourishing more than ever so if you want to have your voice heard then now it’s the time to start. 

The best thing I ever did for my career was create my personal brand and take charge of it. It follows you along for any stage of your career, in any industry. Remember your personal brand enters the room before you do.

What are your 2026 personal branding goals? 👇

This is a metric you need to be keeping an eye on.👀

When you start creating content, most people think that the most important metric is reach, engagement or the number of connection requests. But the metric you need to really be keeping an eye on his profile views. 

Why? 

These are people who are actively going out of the way to learn more about you and your business. These people could become clients are mental even lead due to your next career move.🚀

Don’t get me wrong it’s still important to track reach and engagement, but if you’ve been neglecting profile views you’re seriously missing out.

What's the best performing format on LinkedIn? 👀

Well you're not going to like my answer. 

The format that gets the most engagement and most reach is going to be a format that not only can you execute week after week, but also a format that your audience becomes familiar with.

💡If you love talking to audiences - video might be for you 
💡If you're a fantastic storyteller - try long form 
💡If you're straight to the point - stick with short form

The real secret to getting great reach is consistency and clarity in your content and your personal brand.

How long should you spend writing a piece of content? 🤔

Most of my posts I write and edit under 5 minutes. No that's not a typo. 

I've never been great at pre-scheduling content, even though this is my number one piece of advice if you're trying to build a powerful personal brand. I write my best content in the moment. 

And I know a post won't be worth sharing if I cannot create it in under 5 minutes. But that doesn't work for everyone. 

💡Some will spend an hour editing the perfect video.
💡Others will spend 10 minutes writing a text post. 

There's no right or wrong answer. 

At the end of the day, if your post is giving value to your target audience, then you know you've got a good post, whether it takes you 5 minutes or an hour.

This is one of the most powerful skills you need in building a personal brand.👀 

It’s knowing how to sell yourself. 

Part of the power of creating a personal brand is that it can walk into a room before you enter it yourself. But when you finally enter the room physically, you need to be able to match the powerful personal brand you’ve curated online.

Learning how to quiet the self-doubt and captivate a room with your confidence and authenticity can take time to perfect. I found that creating content on social media whether for my 9 to 5 or as a freelance content creator, has been the biggest way to improve my confidence. I’ve learned how to hold the attention of my audience no matter how big or how small. 

What’s your secret to finding your confidence? 👇

I need to do more of this... 🤯

This afternoon I ran a virtual personal branding 101 session! This is one of my favourite training sessions to run - and honestly I forgot how much I love being able to share my experience with others so they can upskill and take charge of their own personal brand! 

2026 is the year people need to take personal branding seriously.
💡If can land you your dream job
💡It can double your earning capacity
💡It can teach you unparalleled confidence 
💡It can connect you with your dream mentor 

Thanks to Utkarsh Manocha for having me in! 🚀
