Yeah, that’s the song that’s stuck in my head this morning.

It’s kind of appropriate because we are preparing to host Thanksgiving dinner. Later this morning, I’m headed to the grocery store for last minute necessities.

My husband is doing all the cooking.

Pie dough is in the fridge, more preps await tonight and of course up early to help tomorrow when the kids watch the parade.

The stress level is pretty high around here.

I still feel like giving some LinkedIn advice before the holiday because this one has been bothering me.

If you’re home relaxing this weekend and want to work on one thing on your LinkedIn profile, how about checking on your banner image?

I was working with a graphic designer on her profile last week. She’s a
self-proclaimed “visual person” so I wanted to show her some profiles for examples of what to do.

During that process I ran into a lot of people who don’t have a banner image.

For the love of all that is good, PLEASE people…change and update the template that LinkedIn give you for your banner!

Too many people aren’t updating the gray template at the top of their profile. Frankly, it’s a missed opportunity. The goal should be to set yourself apart from the masses. There are 80
Million people on LinkedIn.

What should it look like? It should be a graphic or image AND 3-4 words that best describe who you are and what you do. A pretty picture isn’t enough.

Canva is a pretty good “go to” site for your banner, and it’s FREE.

If you need help, let me know. Optimizing your LinkedIn profile is one part of the Leverage Up, LLC triangle.
