Thanks to Jessica Hagy, we’re sharing 5 ways CEOS can break the mold on Twitter.
See more tips from Jessica here, and follow her @jessicahagy
A little personality goes a long way toward humanizing and improving your personal brand. You have to be more than a talking head in a suit if you want to be known as anything other than your 3-letter title (if your PR is fair) or a 4-letter word (if your PR is suspect).

Money, shockingly, is boring stuff. Competence, stability, and functionality are all boring (but yes, important) unless they’re in service to a greater, grander goal. It’s what you do with money that matters—define that purpose, and you go from ordinary to amazing.

Are you an interchangeable cog in your company’s machine (the top cog, actually)? Are you and the company you steward seen as one and the same or as completely separate entities? If not, it’s time to speak up, and say something worth both listening to, and buying into.

Beyond your day-to-day duties, your board seats, your philanthropic roles—what does your off-the-resume life look like? Do you even have one? Cultivate a personal project or a deeper family connection. The depth it adds to your character (and to your life) will benefit you more than any golden parachute. Illustration by Jessica Hagy
Get yourself out of work more often, like… Mark Shapiro, President of the Cleveland Indians
Out of guesses? Mark was at the Taylor Swift concert.
Teleprompters. Talking points. Approved questions. They’re all great ways to stay on-topic and on-brand, and also great ways to sound inauthentic and robotic. Don’t be afraid to sound sincere, emotional, or enthusiastic. Speak your mind (you know, that thing that got you into the C-suite in the first place) and your audience just might listen—and even remember what you said. Illustration by Jessica Hagy
