I've had a TikTok account for a while. I was a passive scroller. But, today I made my first video based on my blog post. It's about how building a great team is like cooking a good meal. You need the right people, not just a lot of people.
I used hashtags like #leadership and #hiring to reach people who might like the idea.
The Challenge
I'm okay with speaking at events, but TikTok was new for me. It took me quite a few tries to get it right. The sound wasn't great, and I'm still learning how TikTok works. But I wanted to give it a shot.
Jumping into TikTok felt new and a bit tricky. The videos are short, so I had to get my point across quickly. Using TikTok and editing video wasn't as easy but I had fun.
Reflecting on It
Speaking at an event and squeezing the same idea into a short video are not the same skill. One gives you room to build up to a point. The other makes you say it in the first three seconds or lose the viewer. That constraint was the interesting part, and the part I did worst. It wasn't perfect, but I'll make more and get less bad at it. Here's the video.
