#LeanInWiTI100daysOnLinkedIn

EMPOWEREDVOICES

I can’t believe it’s the last Sunday of the #LeanInWiTI100daysOnLinkedIn. It feels like yesterday when I started the circle along with six amazing women — Sobhitha Neelanath, Shilpi Mitra, Devi Anantharaman, Dhivya Rao , Surabhi Kumari and Deeksha Jaiswal from #LeanInNetworkWITI to try out blogging. Recently I got to know, one of them called as Saptha Rishis. I liked the name :). For your information — The Saptarishi are the seven sages of Indian mythology who brought down to the earth the required knowledge and energies to strengthen the processes of transition.

We wanted to share our collective wisdom and expertise as #EmpoweredVoices for 100days on LinkedIn with hashtag #LeanInWiTI100daysOnLinkedIn.

We agreed to do 100 days of posting on LinkedIn, which seemed like an impossible task at first. But we were determined to do it, and we supported each other along the way. We brainstormed, researched, wrote, and posted on topics that we were passionate about, curious about, or experienced in. We learned from each other’s diverse perspectives, skills, and stories. We chose topics that we were curious about, passionate about, or experienced in. We wrote about technology, AI, leadership, self-awareness, self-reflection, creative thinking, stories, and many more. We used anecdotes, questions, stories, or other techniques to engage the readers. We received positive feedback and requests from our peers, colleagues, and strangers. We expanded our network and reach and created a ripple effect of empowerment. WE LERNT TOGETHER, WE WERE POWERHOUSE OF KNOWELDGE!

We met on the 97th day to reflect on our journey, and we were surprised by how much we had achieved. We had written and posted on LinkedIn every day for 100 days. We had learned, shared, and empowered ourselves and others. We had made a difference.

We decided to share our learnings and takeaways with you, and we hope you find them valuable and inspiring.

Learning & Growing Together

Our Learning from the experience we share!

We learned together from our 100 days of LinkedIn posts. As Simon Sinek said, “Together is better” and “We are not the sum of our parts, we are the sum of our interactions”. Our interactions with all of you enriched our learning experience!

• We became more confident in our writing abilities and in announcing our achievements on a public platform.
• We overcame our hesitation and procrastination and developed consistency and discipline in writing and posting every week.
• We learned from each other’s diverse perspectives, experiences, and skills, and explored topics that were relevant and relatable to audience.
• We developed our style of writing, using anecdotes, questions, stories, or other techniques to engage the readers.
• We expanded our network and reach and received positive feedback and requests from peers and colleagues.
• We realized that one need not to be an expert or know it all to express the point of view on a topic, but researching and knowing enough is enough to get started.
• We achieved a big target of 100 days, that sounded impossible at first, and felt empowered and surprised by our own potential.

This is our story, and this is our message. And hope that you join us and become an #EmpoweredVoice too. 😊
