Guest: Tarja Stephens, Founder @ Leaders of the Future
What happens when you ditch the corporate playbook and start treating LinkedIn like a journal instead of a billboard?
You build real relationships that turn into speaking gigs, partnerships, and a global network.
In this episode of Haamucast, Edward sits down with Tarja Stephens, who went from corporate exec to entrepreneur and built her entire thought leadership platform by sharing her journey authentically β no grand strategy required.
You'll hear:
π» Why the next 10 years will bring more change than the past hundred β and what that means for leaders who stay silent
π» How Tarja grew her influence by replying to every comment and treating posts as conversation starters, not announcements
π» The simple "three C's" framework that gets overwhelmed leaders posting consistently (commit, connect, create)
π» Why only 2% of LinkedIn's 1 billion users actively post β and why that's your biggest opportunity right now
π» How to use AI as a thought partner instead of just a grammar checker (plus why authenticity beats volume in an AI-flooded world)
Bonus: Tarja's networking hack β reach out to anyone who inspires you on LinkedIn with a simple message. You'll be shocked how open global leaders are to connecting right now.
