I LOVE your take on reframing professionalism at the end of the video!! Please continue putting this out there, it's incredibly valuable.
awhhh thank you so much!! it's something I've been thinking a lot about recently ✨
Don’t you EVER stop making RUclips videos!!! Your impact on people who watch you is unmeasurable!!!!
I can't tell you how much this means!! 🥹 sometimes I wonder whether I should keep making video now that I'm out of education, but comments like this mean the world
You are literally out there showing up and doing e v e r y t h i n g that scares me so much about post-uni adult life lol. If you did it all and survived we all can, right? xx
u KNOW u can !!!!!
I feel like this youtube channel is becoming my safe place ❤️🥹 you just radiate positivity through your euphoric content :-) Thanks Jade.
This means the world to me!! 🥹✨ thank you for being here
Checked out kahma as well, the portraits look so real!
Jade! Thank you so much for this video! You made me realise that the job that I have now is the perfect next step for me after university. I have been job hunting for the last 8 months and in the end, I did not get the job I dreamt about. But you said that a job should be an extension of us and our values and I realised for the first time ever that my current job is an extension of me and my values. So truly all those rejections were redirections. Thank you, I needed to hear that! I love your videos and your mindset xx
I'm really looking forward to this series because I'm a year away from finishing undergrad, so I'm thinking about career prospects and higher education. I don't have a LinkedIn account yet and watching the first episode really helped get my thoughts in order. Glad to be on this journey with you!! 💖
It’s a scary transition but we’ve got this!! 🥹😌 soak up your final year and I can’t wait for you to flourish in graduation and beyonddd
I am loving this linkdin era video series because I (unfortunately) am also in my linkdin era (graduating in 3 months). And its so lovely to have a companion, a friend to do linkdin work with who hates that platform almost as much as I do. Misery really loves company.
Some things that I noticed and loved in this video:
1. When you get all ranty and sarcastic and how your emotions are so clearly displayed in your emotions(You feel so real.)
2. I realized how hard this must feel to you sometimes figuring things out. How hard it must be to allow yourself to be real and truthful to your own self, to be devoted with enough love for yourself that you allow yourself the time to find out the job that will fulfill you. A job that fills your cup not just empties it. Constantly having the conversation with yourself and telling yourself that "Its ok we're fine. We'll find a job. We'll find a house to call home. We'll figure this out." It takes strength. You have to be willing to work for yourself. I mean I always kind of knew it must be hard but I felt it in my bones while watching this time. If no one has given you credit for that I'd like to the first one to acknowledge this and say that, I see you. I hear you(the things that you don't say here). I see your struggles. I see your work. and I am SOOO Incredibly proud of you. You are strong and such a beautiful collection of stardust. Will always be cheering for you
Jade, You have no idea how much you inspire me. Everything you've said in this video about LinkedIn or finding our Ikigai is soo motivating. This series is definitely helping me keep my spirits high during my job hunting process💖💖
So inspiring and such a feelgood vibe in this video! What I learned from your videos is that not everything about careers and putting yourself out there on LinkedIn has to be stressful. Thanks for sharing your experience! ❤
Your message about the working world as well as your authenticity and approach to life in general is so inspirational.
AHH YES A NEW UPLOAD IM LOVING IT ALREADY!!
eeeeeep hi hello!!! so glad you’re enjoying it 💌🥰✨
Jade you are THE BIGGEST inspiration for me. Ever since my breakup I follow your YT-channel regularly and i Love you more and more with each video. You are so fun and relatable and so soft with yourself and kick ass at the same time. You inspire me so much really 💛
Huge well done for navigating a breakup. 🦋 honestly nothing hurts more than heartbreak. Keep being soft with yourself and doing what feels right. I'm so glad my videos help you in some way!! lots of love
Ray is the loveliest!!!! He took my actor headshots (also by the same pillar lmao) - he's the best for any photography needs!
Aaaah no way! It's such a small world 💌 yeah he's wonderful
I love how you talked about essentially hating LinkedIn and how you don't like selling yourself! I always assumed social media creators don't mind it or even enjoy it, so thank you for telling me the opposite!! Personally, I'm still at the stage of absolutely despising that platform because all I see are motivational posts and all the successes, and it just makes me feel like ✨shite✨. Also, I'm from Slovakia (but I did my undergrad in Edinburgh) and every Slovak loooves bragging...but only if you're actually successful (bear in mind that me having a "good" job in the UK would automatically mean I am), which I'm SO VERY FAR from (graduated last July and have been home ever since🤡), so essentially I have nothing to put on LinkedIn which just makes me feel like I failed, and selling myself is just painful (hence why I'm avoiding it when I genuinely should start looking for a job - in the events industry...so...networking is key....fml I guess 😭).
I'm loving your Glow up videos and I love that we're all growing professionally together 💛🌷💫
Lovely Jade inspiring us all to become the people with the cool lives✨
Hey Jade! I love your videos so much! You've inspired me so much over the past few years. I'm a first year university student and I always motivate myself to study by rewarding myself with one of your videos!💛🌻🦋
This means the world!! Thank you so much for being here and good luck with first year! You've got this 🌻
Aw I loved this video!! Brings me so much comfort to see someone my age trying to find their ikigai (never heard of it before but I'm realising that's exactly what I'm searching for, too). I'm from Sweden and let me tell you, we're also queeens of downplaying ourselves. We have a whole norm called jantelagen (the law of jante, literally called a law because I guess it's so culturally significant it's almost like a law) that describes how we downplay ourselves to oppose individuality and bragging etc etc. So interesting to hear about it from a British pov!
finding your personal branding is so so hard, especially in this fast paced society.
I am definitely in the the same phase as you but in a tiny town of 3000. so I find that inspirations are running VERY low especially for an extroverted person like me. I find that reading has given me so much time to slow down and reflect on myself, figuring out my 'brand'.
and YOU are truly my golden inspiration right now, and thanks to you, signed up for Spanish on Lingoda, LinkedIn glowup, and blog posts!
Jade, you're the big sister I've always wanted!🥰🥰
Yesss I love this! The photos are so gorgeous and really show your personality! The AI pictures were ....not it. Not bad but not it. Loved the Lucy and Yak event and your talk about redefining professionalism
Just signed up for skillshare with your link. I’m reinventing my career after losing my professional job a few years ago due to cancer and then being a caregiver for family. Looks like lots of good programs
Wow. I admire you so much for navigating such difficulties in your life. Thank you for providing love and care to your family -- it's an overlooked role that means the world to those you care for. I hope the classes on Skillshare give you inspiration for the next stage of your career and life. You've got this!! 👏
The “I guess” after saying “I’m amazing” made me choke 😂 You’re doing great and what you’re doing has been very motivating. LinkedIn is so hard but watching your videos has made me more courageous in trying to post, so thank you ❤
Aaaah Jade's video notification is just pure happiness 😭😭❤️❤️
Aaaaah ily Naya!! 💌✨
fully relate to the “pitching urself” bit. i grew up partially in russia and partially in the uk, and let me tell you the mindset you had around you even as a kid affects you so much. i still cannot rest without guilt because thats how slavic people are taught to be - just gogogo all the time. also a massive people pleaser (picked up from the uk hahah) so selling myself is basically impossible with this combination, because no matter how much i do i feel like i could have always done more and should not try to stick out. plus living in london hahah theres so many young professionals who have so many opportunities and have done so much more than me at a younger age. thank you for opening up this conversation jade, its very important to be self aware of how culture and upbringing and surroundings affect the way we end up engaging with the capitalist machine haha
Woahh this is so fascinating thank you for sharing!! 🦋
Damn, I love the content you create, especially recently, i feel like it matches my needs sooo much. It brings all the good stuff into my life, the mindset, the inspiration, shared struggles that make one feel less alone. Your work is so valuable, thanks!
your thoughts on suits and being professional resonated so much with me!! like a fresh wind of air! thank you!
I am about to finish my master's and I am so stressed about the presentation day, my clothes, and what would happen next if I graduate LOL So your content makes me feel safe about going slow, taking one step at a time and just enjoying the ride
Alongside all the golden mindsets and meaningful issues Jade offers ..I think the most underrated thing is how gorgeous and natural she is and how she promotes self love by not putting make up and being a true role model 🤍🤍
oh my gosh!! i was early and managed to get my free trial for skill share!
just graduated college and your channel has become my safe space
gahhh this means the utter world!! good luck with your post-uni journey. it's not always the easiest but we've got this 🥹
Jade you are such an important voice on here - recent grads looking for jobs is something missing on social media and as someone going through this process I’m so happy I have someone I can navigate this path with. In terms of selling myself, I live in Australia and it is a very similar culture to the UK (where I grew up so I really have the best of both worlds ahaha) - spent a stint of my life in SG which is a lot more of a ‘brand yourself’ culture but it didn’t leave enough impact because it makes me highly uncomfortable.
Any advice for branding yourself when everyone around you feeds into the ‘self deprecation make yourself small’ energy? I’m in my last year at uni and people are so competitive but also get so many hints of resentment and jealousy when people are successful
Jade, I like all your photos which the cameraman took. You look very nice and photogenic.
Can't wait to see the fresh new LinkedIn pic
Yet another quite introspective video (which I love). Hard to forget about things even in the past I questioned, how maybe being successful isn't being Bill Gates or working at a big FAANG company, just making the difference is sometimes really the objective you're after.
I'm from germany and I resonated with people pleasing and down-playing as a women. For example I never felt comfortable sharing my grades if I knew they were good and high. But I also feel like my environment really values rationality and honesty. So I can honestly say: I'm smart and achieving and disciplined and passionate about the world without shame because it is the truth. I feel like knowing that and saying it, is in fact accepted in Germany
This is so so interesting thank you for sharing!! 🌷
@@UnJadedJade Oh wow. Thank you for answering! I'm honored. It was a really good question to ask.
I hope that you can soon become more comfortable in talking about your ( very many) great achievements and honoring yourself, your sacrifices and disciplin and joy for learning that way. I wish you all the best and send much love! ❤
I had to stop at 13:41 because... excuse me what a beautiful frame!! 🤧Insightful video as always, thank you for that and hopefully that good energy will continue throughout the year
I come from a humble culture but I feel like job interviews are a safe space for braging. You are expected to flaunt your achivements so that is what I do and it is acctually really fun! But everywhere else I like to hang out with the humble and cosy people who aren't walking advertisment boards of them selfes.
Jade could you do a curly girl hair routine? With products, maintenance tips etc. would really appreciate as I am thinking of converting to this method but don’t know where to start, and your curls are gorgeous !
She did one once but I can't remember the exakt video...
I feel like in the US also there's a very big culture of being self-deprecating. In certain circles people are constantly networking and "selling themselves" but it often feels fake and hollow, and even cringe at worst. That kind of fake confidence is obviously not the same as not downplaying achievements, but being humble or lowkey about it. It is possible, but not many of us know how to do it, or see it demonstrated. It's a hard balance.
watching this as i remake my linkedin 🥰
You’re so beautiful jade :) 💛
Currently reading Ikigai 🥰
Aaaah it is SO wonderful!! 💌👏 I hope you find it transformative 🥹
A book about it? Because I read one, but I didn't fully like it, so I'm wondering if you have a recommendation for a better one 😊
@@UnJadedJade 1.slow down and be present
2.Recomnect with nature
3.Eat upto 80% full
4.Try eat colours of rainbow in every meal + herbal/Jasmine tea
5.Move most everyday
6.Taking stairs when possible
7.Practice gratitude -Grattitude Journal was actually simple nice 🥰
Some of my life lessons learned from it
I'm still in search of my ikigai although maybe it's hiding somewhere in me
personally I find it annoying when really amazing women who are incredibly inspiring and have done incredible stuff in their life downplay themselves. it feels like such a waste. I just love seeing amazing women KNOW they're the fricking best and know they deserve everything and they can do anything they want.
Jade I fell for the same AI thing omg what a disaster, it's even worse as a glasses-wearer! I was like whose eyes are those...
You're so amazing Jade. I envy you 🫠💋
YOU are just as wonderful!! we all have so many unique gifts to share with this world and you should desire to be no one other than yourself
Hi Jade :)
I live in New Zealand, and here (as well as in Australia) we have what's often referred to as tall poppy syndrome. It's basically being criticised for being too successful. It's most often from peers like colleagues and family members and obviously that makes it very hard to sell yourself here as well...
Random note but I happened to be in Lisbon when you were and part of me wondered if I was gonna see you haha (I didn't)
For anyone interested in education I very much recommend reading 'Teaching to Transgress' by bell hooks:)
I’m from the US and I am still so uncomfortable with pitching myself 😅 which is pretty tough because as you say it’s basically a taken for granted expectation
"Yeah, I have a bit of a RUclips channel. Yeah, I guess I talk to myself. In a room. Online. Into the void 😶." That was brilliant!! lol
I totally get the struggle of selling yourself when growing up learning how to always be humble and I agree it's necessary to be able to clearly state our skills and be confident, but I still think the sweet spot is in the middle. If one day I hire someone I will value the humble folks, because they're usually the ones who smash it every time 😜 maybe I'm just not used to the other extreme but I feel that both people who deny they have any worth or ability and people who sell themselves as the new Jesus, are not being honest 😅
yess!!!
The way I SCREAMED when Hannah Witton appeared for like half a second
Maybe we can hear more about IKIGAI? Sounds very interesting!
Yesss I can definitely talk more about it 🦋
I am from America I am use to having to sell myself. I don’t always feels comfortable. I know I need to do it for getting a job. I hope for in the future.
Inspiring as always :)) On the topic of reframing professionalism, I highly recommend the short article called 'The Perils of Professional Dress' by Canadian journalist Erika Thorkelson
Oh my god miss gorgeous 😍🥰
oh how you FLATTER me!!! 🥰✨
You should look at doing a Churchill Fellowship!
I love your chinal so much ❤❤❤❤❤
awhhh thank you so so much! 🥹✨
Jade, have u got totally sick 🤒 after this photoshoot in that conditions😅?? Hope not!!!
Such a nice video again! I love this channel and watching these at a weekend :) can anyone tell me is the great purple fleece a Lucy and Yak?! X
Love the video! (An advice, not to you but from my own photo shoot proces etc... ) To make sure to (if you want to "dress up", dress up for your DREAM job, in a way where YOU would hire you... Its so easy to fall back to some old idéa of "how it should look" or how to look "adult and professional". My kinda advice is to be the one you are and not push down your happy energetic side to try to look more "seriouse, adult etc" I think someone said be sincere but not try to be "stiffer" or whatever then you are in real life. Hm easy to missunderstand my comment. I mean do your best, have FUN, be "seriouse" but not instead of happy! Work ppl are normal ppl too. All that "Ali Abdaal" stuff.... To be genuinely you, be with happy energiceing ppl, do a GOOD job, but dont pretend to be tousend times more "adult/stiff" than you are. In my steriotyp thinking I saw ppl for example working in a banc as soooo seriouse and stiff ppl but they also might love to wear bright red, love their dogs and to play soccer in their freetime... So dont push away your happy side! You can do a good job AND be happy and "relaxed".... Agh Im not explaining what I mean in a clear way... 🙄 Haha now I saw you said exactly that in the end of the video... 😅❤
I love this, thank you for inspiring more authenticity in others!! 🥹 honestly I wish I'd dressed even brighter and more 'me' in the photos because I agree that professionalism needs reframing
I’ve just realised there is a thing called RUclips hands - and your have them. I’ve seen lots of RUclipsrs lately use their hands in this particular way. I guess it’s an evolutionary development in expression and communication that has come out of being a RUclipsr and needing to connect and communicate with an audience….. maybe
Ah, to be young and ambitious…I remember that.
❤❤
hahahaha the AI results tho!!!! LMAO
the AI pictures 😭
they’re really not it 🥲🥲
Where are u meeting new people to date?
Wish i could afford therapy - I need it 💔
did you seriously not notice the sound cutting out for a full minute there?
I don't think it does? 💌
@@UnJadedJade at like 5 minutes
Ai pictures be like, who is she???
Nice thumbnail.
Taller than you you maybe work out in video am 6ft 120lbs weight you cannot lift me up piggyback am too heavy for you 6ft
Culture of Britain is to play down their achievements? Tell that to the Queen's East India Company😂
hahaha okay the rules are different for elites, colonisers and our britain-loving curriculum 🫡
I think a woman photographer would have been more appropriate. First, women have a different dress code and a different work aesthetic than men. Second, having a guy take pictures of a girl in her early twenties is cringy. RUclipsr Shelby Church for instance always had women photographers and helpers.
What is wrong with a male photographer taking pictures of a young girl? Those were professional circumstances and the pictures werent even nudes or boudoir or something lol
There’s nothing wrong with the photographer she selected. If she was uncomfortable she would have chosen someone else. I don’t think the gender matters it’s whether you like their style of photography, can fit into your schedule and are at your price point.
Loved it 🥰 🎉
