#132 Supercharge LinkedIn to create success on YOUR terms with Alexandra Galviz

"Sometimes,’ says Alexandra Galviz, ‘it takes getting to where you want to be to realise that’s not where you’re meant to be."

Alex is losing her voice. Which is ironic, since her passion is teaching others to use theirs: she’s an award-winning LinkedIn Top Voice and in-demand entrepreneur, consulting to C-suite high flyers and helping students and recent graduates find their feet.

In this episode of The Unconventionalists podcast, Alex doesn’t hold back on sharing her story. It’s inspiring, honest, funny, and will make you eager to dust off your LinkedIn profile and get to work putting into practice Alex’s ninja tips for standing out and making real connections.

"When I was a little girl I used to dream of working in the really tall building with a pointy top by the river, but having got to the 45th floor of that place, I realised that my definition of success was wrong."

In 2017, on her last day in her finance job, Alex wrote an honest piece on LinkedIn that went viral within minutes, being shared tens of thousands of times and attracting hundreds of comments. 

Having achieved her career dreams at the precocious age of 24, it seemed she had it all: Canary Wharf prestige, designer clothes, managerial role. So why did she give it up, and what happened when she finally said yes to launching the business she was born to run? Press play to find out.

If you’re inspired to breathe new life into your LinkedIn profile, get in touch and let us know! (You can even hit Mark or Alex up on LinkedIn).

And please do share this episode with others who need to hear it. We need more brave, authentic voices in the world.

Like yours.

Mark
