Follow Deanna on LinkedInWhat should I post?
I get that question a LOT. I’ve found that when I can tell a story that is relatable that is the best type of post. For example, conversations that you may have had with colleagues, clients, etc. are the exact type of conversations that other people may be having at work. Relatable stories that...
A resume is a resume. A LinkedIn profile is a LinkedIn profile.
There is a difference between the two. Please don’t copy and paste your resume here. I was looking at a few About sections over the past couple days. I made some observations and wanted to give some tips that will help others who are wondering… “What’s my About section all About?” Your About...
If your mind isn’t in a good place to start the work week, then the chances of a productive start aren’t as good.
So take a minute, pause, admire the beauty around you. When your head is down you may be focused on the task at hand, but you could lose sight of the big picture. This photo was taken a week and a half ago and it’s one of the most spectacular rainbows I’ve ever seen. Do you have any moments that...
Would you like a peek into a day in my life and a tool you can use to post content too?
I’m writing this post at gymnastics. My daughter is stretching and there are so many ways she is more flexible than I am I can’t count them all. Anyhow, what’s the point of this? With the help of my “notes” app on my iPhone, I can write my posts ANYWHERE. It looks to other parents like I’m just...
Sharing here on LinkedIn isn’t sharing your voice, it’s sharing another’s voice.
When you’re posting content think “what does this post say about me”? Post original content for yourself. That goes above and beyond sharing someone else’s.
Celebrating is great. 🎉
Liking is nice. 👍 Loving is well…kinda cool. ❤️ If you aren’t commenting on posts, you’re missing the bus. 🚌 Engaging with posts with something more than “Great post!” is lending your voice to the conversation. It’s allowing your connections to get to know you better. People don’t do business with...
Do you need proof that it doesn’t have to be perfect to post?
I did this video in one take. The video is super shaky, I made a mistake when I said my current location, but I got out of my comfort zone. I apologize to anyone who gets vertigo from the shakiness of my video. If you get motion sickness, it does get better. 😁 Getting out of my comfort zone was my...
Did you know that there are 774 million people on LinkedIn?
What sets you apart from all those people? The goal for your LinkedIn profile is to be different. It’s not about being one of the millions, you should want to be the unicorn, the rainbow, or the neon green or neon pink icon among all the gray ones. Be different, be you AND tell us what makes you...
Do you have a schedule?
Do you ever wonder how you fit everything in? Me too. You know what? You prioritize. In order to grow your presence here and make LinkedIn work, you have to make LinkedIn a priority in your schedule. It doesn’t take 8-10 hours a day. It doesn’t take 4-6 hours a day. You can be visible here on...
I took a typewriter class in high school.
Yep, I'm that old. Now I get to explain to my kids what a typewriter is. "A computer that's not a computer." Well, my idea of a typewriter has taken on a WHOLE new meaning. I'm not a fan of it. I just wrapped up a 6 week workout program with the Nike Training Club. One of the exercises is a...
