This session shows participants how intentional publishing can help make professional expertise easier to discover and evaluate. The goal is not to turn everyone into a professional writer. The goal is to help professionals become findable for what they know.

In this webinar, we will:

Understand how publishing can strengthen professional visibility and credibility.Identify practical publishing formats, from LinkedIn posts to op-eds and industry features.Turn professional experience into useful article ideas.Use LinkedIn strategically to extend the reach of original ideas.Create a realistic 30-day publishing and visibility plan

Moderated by Tamra Simpson '11, UC Riverside Black Alumni Chapter
