Social media is one of the hidden keys to networking and skill-building, and an often overlooked media platform for this is Instagram. While Instagram may be known for its picturesque content it also provides a great space for creators to develop original content on tons of niche topics. Business and professional accounts can give you personalized advice on achieving your goals. Curating a diverse Instagram feed will help you become more open to new ideas, receive more balanced direction, and keep yourself motivated. Here are my favorite business savvy Instagram pages that I guarantee will leave you feeling more educated and confident going forward!

@leadershipfeed
This account is a source of great motivation for me. They post videos from all kinds of creators meant to inspire you and shape you into a better leader. While much of their content is in the form of Instagram Reels or Tiktok videos the information is presented very clearly and quickly. It’s the best kind of content to start your day out on the right foot or to give you the drive to get through a bad one. The books and podcast highlights on their page have some awesome recommendations for content that will educate you on how to become a better professional.
