That’s one of my 9 year old daughter’s favorite lines. A few days ago she woke up and said, “I had the best sleep because I had an a amazing dream.” She went on to tell me that she dreamt that there was a girls version of the NFL. Part of that dream was that she was the quarterback. 🏈 I couldn’t...
I know I promised to post a lot of advice about your LinkedIn profile this week…but I changed my mind this afternoon.
I just got off the phone with a couple of amazing people who made me smile and made my day better. Amanda K. and Chris Hennessy 🎙📹 have HUGE hearts and they are AMAZING humans. I'm so happy to take the LinkedIn relationship with both of these people offline. I'm proud to support Sadie's...
Do you know what my biggest “Don’t” is for your LinkedIn profile?
DON’T copy and paste your resume summary statement to your About section. PLEASE don’t do it. 15 years ago, I did it, I’ll admit it. I know better now. What should your about section be? It should begin with a “hook” to get people’s attention and then tell your story. Use the space to tell it....
The Great Resignation!
With so many people deciding to quit, resign, and say “I’m outta here!”…Have you made that decision to find a job that makes you feel more fulfilled? Apply, apply, apply. So many form filling websites…frustration! That’s the mindset of a job seeker. Did you know that a client of mine found a job...
Learning doesn’t have to be long-winded.
For the next few days, I'm going to give you one quick thing you can do to take your LinkedIn profile from drab to dynamic! First, let's talk about the education part of your profile. If you are listing your high school in your education section and you aren't still in high school, yeah you can...
I don’t know what to post.
That was the most popular answer when I asked “What’s preventing you from creating content here on LinkedIn?” in a poll here not too long ago.Here are some actionable things you can do to go from “I don’t know what to post” to “I have some great content ideas!”1. Tell a story - storytelling is BIG...
I never “judge a book by its cover” but the title really spoke to me.
I picked up this book from my local library today.How does this post relate to LinkedIn?Never underestimate the power of the words you use - the words that describe you, the words that describe what you do, your words.This author’s words made me click “request” and “check out”, what do your words...
Let others’ words speak on your behalf. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.
One of my "proud accomplishments" of 2021 is/are (just in case the grammar police are watching) all the recommendations I've received this year.I got my "tree topper" today. It's the gold star to top it all off. I'm very proud of this one because I know the source well.I know that Robert W Welch,...
You can ring my bell…ring my bell!
Yeah, everything has a connection to music. I heard about the new feature on LinkedIn from John Espirian, LIAM DARMODY, and Mark Williams. If you LOVE someone's content on LinkedIn and want to see more of it....do this. Go to that person's LinkedIn profile and "ring" their bell. AKA, click on that...
Teamwork…one word but so much meaning behind it.
I honestly believe that two brains are better than one. Craig Langley and I had a Zoom call a few months ago and we talked LinkedIn, because we both LOVE this platform. That conversation led to us chatting about different ways to post here. Next thing you know…we are talking about teaming up to...
