Vicky points out in today’s episode that so many ‘professionals’ are so, so boring. It doesn’t have to be this way! You can be professional in your line of work, but you can also incorporate some of your personality into it too. For example, Vicky, who is not very serious by nature, has a ton of hobbies that she showcases on Instagram. People get a better feel for who she is and what kind of (fun!) person she is. People want to relate to you as a person. Nobody loves a blank face with a suit.
