What It Means To Be Professional
<p>In this episode, I discuss what being professional looks like today. If you're a person out in the workforce, you already know that 'being professional' has definitely evolved and looks much different than it did many years ago.</p><p>What being professional looked like years ago, does not look the same today. It could mean having tattoos, dressing a little differently, being a full-time parent, having piercings, being emotional. These are just some things that would have NEVER been thought of as being professional years ago which is why I love this campaign from LinkedIn.</p><p>Now, with all of that being said, there are some of aspects of being professional that have NOT changed and have remained the same. A great example of that has come from my own personal experience that I mention in this episode and that's dealing with unprofessional managers.</p><p>What does professional look like to YOU and how have you personally seen it evolve?"</p><h1>#SBSTpodcast #SBSTshow #smallbusinesssuccesstalk #podcast #podcastlife #businessowner #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #business #speaker #author #strategist #businesscoach #TheGreatResignation #todaysworkforce #professional #beingprofessional</h1>
