BBY Show S9 Ep10: Using your platform

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Individuals in positions of power have both the opportunity and responsibility to use their platforms to create social change, inspire movements, and amplify marginalised voices.

Using your position to share your personal experiences and listen to others creates empathy and connectedness, demonstrates perseverance and resilience, and encourages collective purpose and action.

Leveraging your unique position, experience, or privilege allows you to amplify important messages and drive meaningful change in ways that others may not be able to.

What platforms could you use for social change?
