Personal Privacy for Professionals
By Daniel Farber Huang and Theresa Menders
About The Book
For every working professional, it’s important to balance the demands of their income-generating, outward-facing, social persona against their irreplaceable, valuable private life.
Whether you are a rising associate or a C-level executive, separating and insulating your personal life from your public one is critically important so you can protect yourself, your loved ones, and the many non-work aspects of your life that you hold dear and precious. After all, what’s the point of working so hard on our careers if we allow the personal aspects of our life to be harmed, violated, or exploited?
Personal Privacy for Professionals provides actionable strategies and practical tactics you can employ to protect your private life immediately.
The authors have helped numerous professionals who have been harassed, stalked, or threatened by disgruntled employees, internet trolls, online abusers, and anonymous threat actors. While those threat actors may have been triggered due to the victim’s public or professional face, the abusers inevitably target or threaten the victim’s private life because the abusers know that is where victims are most vulnerable and have the most to lose. In today’s world, unfortunately, any working professional (and even retired professionals for that matter) may be vulnerable for the same type of unwelcome attention and abuse. What’s even worse, many times the vitriol or anger that gets directed at a victim may not even have a triggering reason for occurring in the first place -- sometimes victims are targeted at random.
Regardless of why, how, or when it occurs, we do know for a fact that victims never expect it to happen and are often blindsided when their privacy does get violated.
Personal Privacy for Professionals covers both your physical world privacy and online privacy with clear, easy-to-understand directions that you can begin employing immediately. We intentionally avoid jargon or lengthy technical discussions and instead get to the guts of the matters fast.
