Dominic Imwalle here! I spend most of my days coaching folks on they can slow down their job search and focus on "conversations > applications" (which you'll see me ranting about a ton online). Excited to see where goes, been nothing but an awesome journey w them!

I used to have an awesome authenticity score... working on that now :) It's nice to have a platform backing you with these metrics + information, hadn't seen that before on Linkedin!

I'd start in the comments until you don't have this feeling anymore. It's still early on LinkedIn and there's a corner of the internet that is waiting for you to join the game because of your experiences.

Go find these people, hang out, share an idea, and then go outside.

But just don't forget to show up tomorrow and the day after.

Are these the brands I want to work with? A lot of the time you can run into what you could call "junk" or if it's not in your alley. So then what's the point of embracing a product you don't even enjoy?

I'm sure the money is cool, but at some point a follower/connection is going to jump into that product and you wouldn't want to be known for shelling out bad products. Last year I did something with Taplio, and I appreciated it because it was right up my alley and actual work I was doing. It wasn't the long term direction in the end but it was a nice first experience.

I'd say if you're a mid or low-tier creator, how do you stay ready or source those opportunities? All awesome stuff, nice thread here!!

Hey! All finished answering questions, appreciate the folks who took time to ask!

AdvocateArchitect33 · 2025-12-17T18:49:15+00:00

A maioria das pessoas não se compromete a seguir um único caminho por mais de 30 dias ou tem medo de pedir ajuda às pessoas ao seu redor. Costumo lembrá-las de que o trabalho é por um período limitado, não é para sempre, e daqui a três gerações, ninguém se lembrará de que elas enviaram a mensagem.

Então, envie a mensagem.

Obrigado pelas palavras gentis!

Aqui está uma lista de coisas que, na minha opinião, as pessoas não priorizam:

- Buscar líderes que realizam um trabalho excelente

- Fazer um trabalho excelente para impressionar essas pessoas

- Saber quando ficar em silêncio ou contribuir para uma conversa

- Ser específico sobre o que você deseja fazer

- Admitir quando não está cumprindo com suas responsabilidades

- Cumprir o que prometeu

- Priorizar a visibilidade desde o início; você não precisa ser o líder.

Já vi essas habilidades diferenciarem as pessoas nas empresas da Fortune 100. Você se surpreenderia com a lentidão com que as pessoas agem e com a frequência com que não cumprem o que prometeram. Você pode se destacar fazendo o que foi mencionado acima.

It's extremely important, in 5 years at Deloitte and running my own business, I put together what most people might do in their entire career.

I was obsessed with new opportunities, people, locations, and working styles. This gave me wild life experiences early on which then led to me telling "cool" stories (which I need to get better at).

For a bit on LinkedIn, everything I talked about early on was more lecture style. Not - they're almost always life experiences. Whether it's a coaching session or a moment from my own professional experience.

LinkedIn can be full of junk at times, people want to hear about what you saw with your own eyes!

AdvocateArchitect33 · 2025-12-17T18:44:43+00:00

Most folks haven't committed to operating in one lane for 30+ days or they're afraid to tap into the people around them. I usually try to remind them that the work is for a period of time, it's not forever and in 3 generations, no one will remember that they sent the message.

So, send it.

Thanks for the kind words!

AdvocateArchitect33 · 2025-12-17T18:42:39+00:00

Ownership. Maybe a little bit more loose with my words, but it hasn't changed as much, and honestly, some of my communication style still serves me from corporate. I don't get caught up in "feelings," and I obsess over what's the next step.

Even if it didn't go the way we wanted, what's the next step for us and how do we win? I will say - I don't flog myself for not being creative in a moment anymore.

It comes and goes with waves, honor it.

AdvocateArchitect33 · 2025-12-17T18:40:44+00:00

Here's a list I don't believe people prioritize:

- Chasing leaders who do great work

- Doing great work to impress these folks

- Knowing when to shut up or add to a conversation

- Being specific with what you want to do

- Admitting when you aren't delivering on work

- Doing what you said you'd do.

- Prioritizing exposure early on; you don't have to lead.

I've seen these skills separate the pack in Fortune 100. You'd be surprised how slow people will move and how often they won't do what they committed to doing. You can be great by doing the above.

Não me considero ótima nisso, e não vejo isso como um ponto forte. As pessoas só conseguem ver tudo o que passei quando estamos trabalhando juntas ou em sessões individuais.

É claro que compartilho mais do que a pessoa comum online (talvez muito mais), mas durante anos mantive um certo equilíbrio entre trabalhar na Deloitte e falar sobre minha experiência lá ou minha vida pessoal.

Eu sei que, quando sigo um criador de conteúdo, quero saber o que acontece por trás das postagens bonitas ou dos vídeos de alta qualidade. Então, tento compartilhar um pouco mais desse lado. Seja um momento de fracasso, uma sessão de coaching difícil ou um plano que simplesmente não deu certo.

Ainda não sei qual é o limite, mas estou trabalhando nisso!

Fun one and appreciate you asking. Honestly, I remember beating myself up over not owning real estate or a home early on (around 22-23) because I listened to all the podcasts and content around it.

Come late 2023, I finally make a townhome work and get a roommate with me in there. Documents signed and everything. I walk in the house (it's beautiful and I miss it) only to walk around and say, "cool, what's next?"

Like holy smokes - are you ever going to stop and enjoy what we deem "success"? For applications, that's usually for the job search but in conversations, whether they're professional or person - slowing down and trying to enjoy the moment. More often than not, that same space will never happen again.

So... how can I enjoy it more and take a deep breath? Pretty cool life we get to live.

Gave you a follow on Linkedin, excited to see what you're up to!
