E2: Communicate Your True Professional Identity as a Hybrid Professional with Sarabeth Berk
In this episode of The Campfire Circle, Tania talks to Sarabeth Berk, Creative Disruptor, Expert on Hybrid Professional Identity, Leader of Growth at Day One, Author of ‘More Than My Title,’ and TEDx Speaker.
As social impact leaders, we wear a WHOLE LOT of hats (which makes it hard to explain what we truly do!) In this episode, Sarabeth covers how you can discover your unique value and communicate your true professional identity as a hybrid professional.
“A hybrid professional defies traditional job titles because they work at the intersections of disparate identities. Hybrids integrate their work identities together to create an entirely new identity. This becomes their truest professional identity.”
Sarabeth’s goal is to help people discover, articulate, and brand their hybridity. Being more than your job title helps maximize engagement, belonging, and of course - supercharging your personal brand!
