Catharina Boehme: The impact of Social media has exceeded my expectations

Catharina Boehme, Assistant Director of General External Relations at the World Health Organization, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Sharing my thoughts publicly has never been easy for an introvert like me. Social media intimidated me.

However, exactly one year ago, I committed myself to regularly sharing my experiences on LinkedIn.

Since then, I regularly post about the impact of the work of the World Health Organization, and share some aspects of my personality.

183 posts later, this journey has exceeded my expectations:

– I’ve developed closer relationships with colleagues, partners, and leaders across global health, the United Nations, and financial institutions.

– Digital connections often translate into real-life interactions when people in the office or meetings mention something I’ve shared in my posts.

– The number and diversity of talented applicants for positions in my team have increased since I started sharing job opportunities here.

– Unlike many other places on the internet, spending time on LinkedIn is enriching, dialogues positive and constructive.

So, on to year 2.”
