Описание: Blogs- Finding Your Voice to Build Your Brand
Led by Justin Neal, Jennifer Milton, and Emily Crane
February 24 2026

In this Success Circle session, Jen and Emily are joined by Justin Neal, a principal CX strategist at Egnyte Collaboration Software and consulting business owner, to discuss how blogging (including Substack) can grow a customer success professional’s network and career. Justin shares his background, why he started writing to fill a gap in CS content focused on ops, systems, strategy, and business outcomes, and how he overcame the vulnerability of clicking “publish” by shifting from trying to impress to sharing what he’s learned with clarity. He covers his audience size and cadence, what content resonates most, and the career impact of making his frameworks and thinking visible through speaking invitations, podcasts, interviews, and stronger peer relationships.
