Follow Deanna on LinkedInI worked at a library when I was in high school.
It was my first real job. By real job, I mean the first one I got a real paycheck for. I was a babysitter for a family across the street from where we used to live. I don’t count that because I didn’t get a paycheck for it. At the library, that paycheck had my name on it. I saw taxes taken out of...
One picture says a thousand words.
Here’s what this picture says to me… “I don’t have a voice.”“I don’t know what my voice is.”“I’m too shy to share what my voice is.”“I’m afraid of being rejected if I use my voice.” Sure I might be assuming any or all of the above. How do I know what this person is all about if this space is...
Do you head to the recycling bin after getting the mail?
I do. Junk mail, AKA unsolicited mail, has one place and that’s in the recycle bin. The same thing goes for unsolicited emails. When I get unsolicited emails, from people or businesses who send me emails because we’re connected on LinkedIn, I take action. I unsubscribe to that email blast,...

That's how many versions of my banner image I did until I was happy with it. Even those of us who work with our clients can learn a lesson here. I knew it was time for a change. I knew that I wanted to capture my Purple Squirrel Magnet and my logo. I also wanted to capture my "I'll take you from...
2018 is the year that everything changed for me on LinkedIn and today marks a milestone.
3 years ago I created end posted my very first video here. Today I celebrate that milestone because posting that first one was putting myself out there. It was opening the door so people could see me. Taking that big step started my content journey here. Lesson to all…if you hide behind your phone...
“All you gotta do is show up and do your best and everything else will take care of itself.”
I wrote down that line when I was doing yoga recently. It struck a chord because I instantly thought, "That totally applies to LinkedIn." Show up. Consistency is so important when it comes to LinkedIn. If you post every day for a week and then you don't show up for weeks, that's not consistent. Do...
This was a quote that landed in my inbox this morning.
It speaks to me today so thought I’d share it here. Overall I’m not a big fan of sharing quotes on LinkedIn because too many people don’t give enough context to explain why it’s important. Here’s why it’s important to me…. I cried yesterday morning. I cried because I did everything in my power to...
It’s all about your perspective. You’re either drowning or treading water.
We got our 3rd Covid positive case this morning. That means 3 out of the 5 of us have Covid. "Ridiculous", that was the word I used in one conversation after another. My perspective shifted completely when I was on the way to the elementary school to get my son's assignments. That's when I saw a...
What makes you different?
I get that question a lot, got it today actually. There aren’t too many “Purple Squirrel Magnets” on LinkedIn. So that’s one thing. I also have a triangle strategy that’s unique. If someone calls himself or herself a LinkedIn trainer or coach, that doesn’t mean that he or she does the exact same...
Can we talk about strategy over scroll? That’s what I specialize in.
Last week, a prospect told me “I’m in. You had me at strategy.” She’s going to work with me because of the “method behind my madness”. There are people who comment and “like” posts here. If that interaction isn’t tied to a bigger strategy, that’s OK. You’re building relationships…congratulations!...
