🕗 By 8pm on the night I posted I was a MomentumMedia AccountantsDaily Thought Leader of the Year finalist, I’d received some rather unpleasant messages. I was a bit deflated by this. For several years I’ve missed out on being a finalist, so I was quite chuffed to break through and be shortlisted in the Australian Accounting Awards 2024.
💼 That was until I started getting some late-night unprofessional messages from a male Brisbane accountant, whom I don't know.
💪 I can’t control someone else's behaviour, but I can control how I react to it: set firm boundaries, don’t respond, disengage and block, remove the incident from my memories, and fill them instead with positive thoughts.
📢 You should know that LinkedIn offers the features Mute, Remove Connection, Block, and Report.
🔐 If this happens to you, it is not you, it is them. Take comfort in recognising some trolls are ‘bots’; others get energy from bringing people down.
✨Please don't let them win. Take a moment to share your wins this week, and press the publish button.
