36. Stella Da Silva: How to attract Stella(r) career opportunities
Show Notes

How on earth did an education and training consultant from the UK get hired for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, relocating to Oman in the Middle East?

It’s a brilliant story, listen to this podcast episode to find out.

Stella is a great example of what is waiting on the other side of fear and the power of taking consistent action. What action? Being visible on LinkedIn and how it can change your life!!

In this episode, Stella Da Silva shares her career journey, and how boosting her presence on LinkedIn landed her projects around the world. The people who handed Stella these opportunities: are folks she'd never met!!

We talked about:

- Stella's first post on LinkedIn and how it fared
- How she got a call, out of the blue, to work in Saudi Arabia. Then  in Oman.  
- How age need not hold people back (she started posting  on social media at 47)
- How to deal with trolls (Hint: she disarms them with kindness)
- How she gets paid to appear on webinars, panels and workshops beyond her day job

If lessons from this episode don't help you to unlock the power of the LinkedIn platform, I don't know what will!
