If posting on LinkedIn feels risky, this short episode is for you.

Allison Lane breaks down what to share when you don’t want to repost company news, sound self-congratulatory, or get an awkward call from your boss, comms team, or the provost.

In this episode, Allison explains a simple, safe shift: strong content doesn’t have to stay inside your industry.

Some of the most valuable posts come from applying outside ideas to your world in a thoughtful way.
