Join Valerie Mekki, Blogger and Content Creator, in conversation with Katy Mason. There is always an opportunity to take a rejection and turn it into a redirection. Start before you are ready, because you will never be fully prepared for a major life changing moment.
An example of a personal brand statement and how you can craft your own.
How adding a side project (hustle or gig) to your life could be a source of creativity, path for self-discovery and empowerment.
Like many of us, all of last year forced me to reinvent myself. I could no longer solely rely on my corporate background / experience to get me to my next opportunity. That's when I started my side project with the original intent to show my future employer my ability to expand my knowledge of SEO and content writing. A passion project turned into a bigger mission, turned into my purpose. There is always an opportunity to take a rejection and turn it into a redirection. Start before you are ready, because you will never be fully prepared for a major life changing moment.

I moderate in participatory forums for maximum audience-speaker connection. In all of this, I take a closer look at definitions of success, connection, and collaboration for individuals, organizations and for our future. My work celebrates kindness, encouragement and collaboration. My childhood in Hong Kong shaped my love and appreciation for cultures and perspectives. This adds value as a Qualitative Researcher, where I dig into stories to find patterns, themes and threads. This superpower serves vibrant community with individuals craving for iterative conversational spaces. My constant effort to learn from individual perspectives and belief systems regenerates my connection to humanity.
