Follow Deanna on LinkedIn“What will people think of me when they see I’m looking at their profile?”
That’s a question that came up in a coaching session yesterday. She’s new around here and looking to grow and learn from people on LinkedIn. Know what my response was? “I love when people look at my profile!” That’s right. I don’t think of those people as lurkers. I think of those people as...
Don’t shout from the top of the rooftop.
I don't know too many people who will do it...literally. Don't do it here either. When you post, "Look at me, check me out, I'm here!" Even if you feel that you have a "brand" and you want to make sure people know about it, that is shouting from the rooftop. When you post in a way that opens up...
“The fear of failure was so much bigger than the fear of regret”.
I just heard an entrepreneur say this during an interview. I believe that as a business owner this quote is SO TRUE. She had that thought as she was starting her business but now that business owner is the owner of Shit That I Knit. That company is behind every hat, every pair of mittens, and...
I love commenting.
Not only do I do it on a consistent basis every day, I also hope my connections do it too. Yesterday I got a connection request from someone who “can help your business STAND OUT on LinkedIn”. That’s what I do. So I thought, “Let’s take a look at his activity to see how much he’s commenting.” Know...
Nothing is set in stone.
If you’re not happy with it, change it. That’s especially true here. I worked with a client on her headline. It was a matter of brainstorming and coming up with just the right words. 🧠 Know what? It wasn’t our first time chatting. She’s not a new client. 😀 She knew her LinkedIn profile was in...
“Never stop selling yourself!”
A new friend of mine said that this morning and I said “That’s a LinkedIn post!” Too many people here aren’t focused on that and it shows here. When you optimize your profile, you should be paying attention to the details. Each section (from the top all the way down) speaks to who you are and what...
One thing I strongly believe in is building relationships here.
I'm not usually a numbers person. I'm going to make an exception to that rule right now. Let me start by saying with 810 million people on LinkedIn, one of the things a lot of us want is visibility, the desire to stand apart from the crowd. I've posted about the scene from the movie iRobot,...
Woooo Hooooo!!!
You got this!!!So happy for you!!!You can do this!!! Those are just some of the words of encouragement I tell my clients, both verbally and online. Why? Because I’m a cheerleader. I was inspired to write this one over the weekend because I am always the one shouting for kids. One daughter is a...
The picture doesn’t do this post justice, but it’s my fault.
I was paying too close attention and I didn’t think, “I should have taken a picture” until several hours later. Last night I took my 9 year old daughter to our first Cleveland Cavaliers game. I didn’t plan on posting anything about it here. Oh yeah, it was our first NBA game, first Cavs game,...
How do you connect 3 hours of shoveling snow to LinkedIn?
That was my thought today. Consistency and maintenance is everything. I think I need to put it all in perspective before breaking this all down. My husband has done a fantastic job snowblowing the driveway... until the past 5 days or so. Then we haven't touched it. With temperatures hovering...
