I’ve been thinking a lot about “Oh the Places You’ll Go” (if you haven’t read the Dr. Seuss book, I highly recommend it). My daughter is ending one chapter and getting ready to start another. She just finished 5th grade and is getting ready to start Middle School in a new city in just a few...
It’s a diverse audience…and they heard me goof up A LOT.
I’m a “one take video” person and that’s what I teach my clients. When it comes to creating a Cover Story (video under your profile picture of you have Creator Mode) here, there’s a little more pressure because lots of people are going to see it on my profile and I wanted to make sure I got it...
Have you ever just thought, “This is so cool!”???
That’s my thought right now. I just scrolled through the hundreds of people who voted in my poll “How do you engage here on LinkedIn?”. I posted it last week and was just so amazed that it resounded with so many people. Not only am I pleasantly surprised at all the comments and the votes….I’m also...
Our family proves over and over again there is no limit on how much stuff you can cram into a weekend.
Two soccer games, a softball game, a baseball game, a scout graduation, two kids' parties AND our house is NOW officially SOLD too! I feel like we need a weekend to recover from our weekend. Well at least I do. My husband commented to me on the way back from soccer, "That's it for today?" My reply...
The more you show up, the more people see you.
It’s a loaded statement. Yes, that statement applies to videos too. Consistency is important. You have to show your network that you show up and you consistently show up. I started creating content here 2.5 years ago (2018!) and back then I was one of the few people who were doing video here on...
It’s not about you, it’s about them.
If you take that philosophy into your approach to LinkedIn, you will be on the right track. Phillip Davis, PHR and I were chatting on Clubhouse this morning in a new room that Talar ☘️ Herculian Coursey started called LinkedIn for Lawyers when we agreed on this one. Regardless of why you are on...
Do you have a brand?
It’s a word that is often tossed around but here on LinkedIn, branding yourself is super important. A big part of branding yourself is your LinkedIn profile. Here are a few questions to ask yourself in regards to your LinkedIn profile. 1. Is my profile picture over a year old?If it is, time to...
I got a connection request from someone with 8,462 connections.
He hasn’t engaged or posted ANYTHING. That tells me that he connects with people but he doesn’t use the platform to its fullest potential. I didn’t accept that connection request. #linkedin#engagement#content#socialmedia#purplesquirrelmagnet#leverageup
How much does experience matter?
Wait, I’m not trying to start an argument here. I’m not talking about the importance of working at a job for 5, 10, 15, or even 25 years or longer. I’m talking about experience on your LinkedIn Profile. When I’m working with my client on optimizing his or her LinkedIn profile, we go section by...
I need to post, but what do I post? If I don’t post, will people forget me? Will I lose visibility?
Can you relate with any of the above? In case you haven't heard it before, I want to be the first to tell you.... You don't have to post something JUST for the sake of posting. You don't have to post every day if you just don't have anything to say. Did you know... That engaging with other people...
