LinkedIn Work Experience Updates – Make Public or Not?

What are your thoughts on the question of LinkedIn profile updates – make them public or not? Many of my clients tell me that they don’t want their connections to see the changes they’re making in their profile. There are plenty of reasons not to let your connections see these changes. Then again, there can be value in letting your connections know when you make an update to your profile. Typically, I don’t make my profile updates public. However, recently I added a volunteer leadership role in my Toastmasters club to my profile. For several reasons, I decided to allow [...]

How to Appreciate Others on Social Media

One of the many things people ask me is show them how to appreciate others on social media. It is especially appropriate in this season of giving to use social sites even more than usual to show your generosity of spirit. Here are some ways to use Facebook and LinkedIn to appreciate others. Appreciate Others on Facebook Like their Facebook business page. Get notified in your globe icon when there are posts on their business page. You do this by clicking on the Following tab, then click on notifications and click on the box by posts. Then, periodically share updates [...]

An Entrepreneurial Renaissance: Connecting 4 Generations of Entrepreneurs

Would you like to be part of an entrepreneurial renaissance connecting four generations of entrepreneurs? If so, consider joining the movement inspired by 4GenNow. This movement is gaining momentum around this country, as well as in other parts of the world. On November 17, I had the privilege of being one of nearly 200 people attending their first-ever Power Partners Summit. Sponsored by 4GenNow, it was held at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado. One of the best parts of the day for me was the talk by Amy Lynch (pictured above),  Generations Leadership Expert. She provided so many [...]

Want to Be Braver? Join Toastmasters!

  Most people would like to be braver both in person and on social media. If you are one of those people, I highly recommend that you join a local Toastmasters club. “The mission of a Toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral communications and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.” (from the Toastmasters’ website) Webster’s defines brave as “possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance.” I believe that having more self-confidence helps people be braver. The concepts are closely [...]

Voices in Aging – an Awesome Experience

This weekend-long event, held November 3-5, 2017, and officially called Voices in Aging: The Business of Aging had an enormous impact on me. By intermingling thought-provoking keynotes with dynamic interactive sessions, this event challenged me intellectually. It also brought out both the team player and the leader within me, and it encouraged me to foster deep connections with others. It even brought me to tears at times. Sponsored by The Society of Certified Senior Advisors (SCSA), who began planning for it over a year ago, it was indeed an awesome experience. I am so grateful to Judy Rough, Senior Director [...]

How to Engage People on LinkedIn

Are you wondering how to engage people on LinkedIn? Too many people think of social media as one-way communication. Remember the “social” in social media and look for ways to engage people on LinkedIn and other social sites. The point of LinkedIn is to help people in the business world connect with each other. This means that you should spend at least some of your time liking, commenting on and possibly sharing the information that others post on it. Find a good balance between sharing valuable information posted by others and sharing your own posts. How to Effectively Engage on [...]

Be More Memorable on LinkedIn – Publish Articles

Even though it takes time, energy, and commitment to publish articles regularly on LinkedIn’s publishing platform, I believe that investment pays off. My recommendation is to publish articles at least twice a month. Publishing weekly is even better. But consistency is as important – or more important – than what quantity you choose. After you have published an article, you can share it to your newsfeed. In addition, you can share your articles with selected LinkedIn connections. You might also want to share it to key clients and referral partners via LinkedIn messaging.   Reasons to Publish Articles on LinkedIn [...]

Want to Stay Top of Mind?

Do you want to stay top of mind on LinkedIn? The best way to do this is by regularly posting updates. WAY too many people are on LinkedIn but never share a thing. Are you one of them? To have your LinkedIn profile come up higher in a LinkedIn search (or an internet search) for key words in your industry, you need to speak up. Updates are a terrific way to do that, even if you post them just once a week. Examples of Topics to Write About in a LinkedIn Update Inspirational or motivational quotes Trends in your industry [...]

Are Your LinkedIn Invites Appealing?

Are your LinkedIn invites appealing? If not, perhaps that's the reason that too many of them aren't getting accepted. Think about the invites you get from others. When people write a personal note, does that affect your decision about whether to connect with them? I know that I am more likely to connect with someone when they have written me a note with the invite. What especially appeals to me is when the invitation includes a specific reason we should connect. Here are some tips for creating invites that are likely to be accepted. See last week’s article for tips [...]

Are You Happy with Your LinkedIn Connections?

You may have heard the phrase: “We are who we associate with.” It applies to many aspects of our lives, including our social media presence, especially on LinkedIn. It’s best to take a strategic approach to whom you connect with. That way, you will be happy with your connections. When I am not sure whether I want to accept an invitation to connect, I look for our shared connections. And I assume people I invite to connect are doing the same thing. Too many LinkedIn users spend very little time on LinkedIn, often missing great opportunities to make connections. Here [...]
