How Much of Your Personal Life Do You Share With Your Professional Network?

Most listeners would be nervous about being completely themselves on social media. Many are very wary of sharing anything from their personal life, particularly on a professional site like LinkedIn. Andy Lopata's guests on this week's Connected Leadership Podcast have both been very open online. Kelly Molson, the co-founder and Managing Director of Rubber Cheese, a user focused web design and development agency, shared the traumas of IVF and losing her babies, believing that it is a subject not talked about enough. Paulina Sygulska, an entrepreneur, an angel investor, a TEDx speaker and a founder of GrantTree, talks about the unorthodox action she took to reignite her passion and creativity by becoming a Burlesque dancer. They discuss the reactions of professional contacts and the pros and cons of transparency.
