My son made me…
🫣 when he recently convinced me to ride the UK’s tallest, fastest, most weightless rollercoaster.
🎢 Hyperia at Thorpe Park stands 236 feet tall, with two inversions and a 995-meter track, all at speeds of 80 mph +.
⏳ And in the 90 seconds it took to complete the ride, I realised the experience was not unlike putting myself out here on LinkedIn – nerves of steel and taut enthusiasm, all the while secretly fearing falling flat.
😰 And I am not alone. Speaking to women in business, both senior leaders and entrepreneurs at new business meetings and networking, it appears many of us feel the stomach drop, pre-post on LinkedIn.
🤲🏻 So for anyone feeling the LinkedIn ick – be assured we are all in it together. And for 90 seconds of fear, you may just get all the thrills of a completely new experience!
