From LinkedIn Posts to Substack: My Writing Journey
My writing journey began long before LinkedIn, Medium, or Substack.
As a young student, writing gave me creative wings. It was my way of exploring new worlds, expressing ideas, and letting my imagination fly.
I loved animation movies — Finding Nemo was a favorite — and I’d often write about the characters, especially ones like Nemo who embodied resilience and curiosity. Storytelling always felt natural to me.
When I started my career at CSC, I found ways to weave writing into my work. I designed training calendars, wrote program descriptions, and created content for learning sessions. Even in those early professional roles, I discovered the quiet joy of sharing stories through the power of words.
Later, at McKinsey, I started reading more and contributed articles to Chief Learning Officer Magazine. That’s when I realised writing became more than just a skill — it became a way to reflect, connect, and contribute meaningfully.
After leaving the corporate world, I turned to writing more personally. I began documenting my career transition journey on LinkedIn, sharing the resilience it took to rebuild my professional identity in a new country. During a period of recovery from a BMW bike accident, writing became both a healing tool and a creative outlet.
