We go about our normal days and we work, we take care of our families, and we often forget about them. Veteran’s Day is important because it’s one day a year but we should say “Thank you for your service” as much as possible. Today I salute my father who served in the...
I ask that question (metaphorical but still a good one) on calls with prospects, calls with clients, or even when I’m just talking about LinkedIn. An optimized profile – picture, headline, banner, about, etc. etc. etc. – should be PART of the equation to...
She’s one of my creative minds – artistic, creative, and always thinking. It’s LinkedIn appropriate because it truly captures my favorite season – fall. Anything that allows you to learn more about you as a person is LinkedIn appropriate in my book. We are...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
