Give Back to Your Community By Sharing Your Expertise

Do you give back to your community by sharing your expertise? This week, I had another opportunity to help GED students at a local high school learn about LinkedIn. My experience volunteering with these students is incredibly gratifying, as I love introducing LinkedIn to young people. Having a LinkedIn account is just as important as having a resume, no matter how old you are. Some of these students may not be motivated to create a LinkedIn profile now. Yet at least I will have planted a seed with them about the value of LinkedIn. How are you sharing your expertise [...]

Getting Feedback on Your LinkedIn Profile

How do you like to get feedback on your LinkedIn profile? Do you prefer to get feedback in a private setting between you and the expert giving the feedback? Or would you prefer to get input in front of a small group of people who are also getting it? Maybe both approaches appeal to you.   One-to-One Tutoring Sessions Typically, my clients engage my tutoring services via a two-session package, though I also offer single sessions.

Benefits of Mentioning Others on LinkedIn

Have you considered the benefits of mentioning others on LinkedIn? (Mentioning on LinkedIn is comparable to tagging on Facebook and Instagram.) Earlier this week, my friend Jonathan Castner, owner of Castner Creative, shared a post on LinkedIn that started with: “Here's a little gift to start your new year right. These are a bunch of people who are powerful and important to me and my business. I recommend that you get to know them and be better, stronger and happier for it.” He then mentioned 20 people, and I was honored to be one of them. So, I wrote a [...]

Do You Own Your Awesome on LinkedIn?

Be honest with me – do you own your awesome on LinkedIn? Your first response might be – who me, awesome? And the second one might be – I’m just not sure I’m comfortable being awesome on LinkedIn.

I am taking her advice to heart and truly owning my awesome on LinkedIn! I’ve read several excellent books on LinkedIn since I launched my business in 2010. For the most part, they were “how to do” books. Miranda’s approach is a “how to [...]

I soon realized I needed to turn to experts if I wanted my website to be professional, polished, and attention-getting. The experts who helped me transform my website were Heather Gallien, Kastle Waserman, and [...]
