Episode description

What happens when your identity is so wrapped up in your job title… and then everything shifts?

In this episode of Leaders Lane, I chat with Melissa Cohen, who left behind a high-flying fashion career and found herself rebuilding from scratch—on LinkedIn of all places.

We dive into:

Why your headline really matters
The balance between being personal and professional online
How commenting (yes, commenting!) can grow your brand
And why engagement beats going viral—every time

As a LinkedIn Top Voice, Melissa doesn’t just talk about building a personal brand—she lives it.

So, if you’re at a career crossroad …
If your job title just took an undesirable plunge into the abyss

If LinkedIn feels like a mystery or your content's getting crickets, this one’s for you.

👉 Tune in on Spotify, Apple—and now YouTube.
