I recently attended a conference, and there was one quote in particular that really caught my attention.
The longer I’m in this industry, the more I notice that so much of the focus at these conferences seems to be shifting toward growing your social media presence rather than growing your skill set.
So, I’m just going to put this out there.
I have absolutely no interest in being Instagram famous.
That little blue check mark next to my name? It’s there for one reason. If my account gets hacked or shut down, I have access to an actual human being who can help me. That’s it. Nothing more.
When I invest my time and money into attending conferences, my goal is to come home a better provider. I want to learn new techniques, refine the ones I already use, challenge myself, and bring something valuable back to my patients.
And if I’m being completely transparent, I walked away from this particular conference feeling a little underwhelmed. From a technique standpoint, there wasn’t much shared on stage that I wasn’t already familiar with.
A little disappointing? Absolutely. But also reassuring, because it tells me that what we’re doing here at SKIN is relevant, current, and aligned with what’s happening in this industry.
These conferences are not inexpensive, and moving forward, I think I’ll be investing more of my education dollars into individualized, one-on-one training where I can really focus on refining my craft.
But I digress. Just my own thoughts and observations.
I don’t want to be an influencer. I want to be an exceptional provider.
I use this little corner of social media to showcase my work, educate you about your skin, share what we offer, and hopefully help you make informed decisions about your care.
I don’t measure my success by followers, likes, or how many people recognize my name.
I measure it by the quality of my work, the trust you place in me, and the results we achieve together.
At the end of the day, my goal has always been the same: to continue learning, continue improving, and be the very best provider I can be for all of you.
Your face deserves my attention far more than an algorithm does. 🤍
