Anna Rössler on Finding Your Voice — Online, On Stage and At Work

What does jazz singing have to do with LinkedIn? More than you might think.

This week's guest, Anna Rössler, has built a career helping senior leaders find their voice online while simultaneously developing her own as a singer-songwriter. Rather than separating her professional and creative identities, Anna has found a way to bring them together, and in doing so offers some valuable lessons about authenticity, confidence and human connection.

We explore why so much online content feels performative, how AI is changing the way we communicate, and why the best personal brands aren't really about branding at all. Along the way we discuss experimentation, creativity, stage fright, networking, and the importance of building a life around the things that genuinely energise you.

Whether you're trying to communicate more effectively at work, build a presence online, or simply find more balance between your career and your passions, there's plenty to take away from this conversation.

Episode Summary
On this episode, we discuss:

Why authenticity is more than simply 'being yourself.'
How personal branding is really about building trust.
Why social media should be treated as a conversation, not a broadcast.
The hidden metrics that matter more than likes and impressions.
How to use AI without losing your own voice.
Why experimentation beats chasing algorithms.
What performing music teaches us about confidence and communication.
How side passions can make us better professionals.
Why designing your environment is often more important than motivation.
The value of creating a life that gives you energy instead of draining it.
