LinkedIn is a Heartfelt Variation of a Resume

When I compare the format of LinkedIn and that of resumes, I believe that LinkedIn is a heartfelt variation of a resume. There are certainly some similarities between your LinkedIn profile and your resume. In your LinkedIn profile headline, you may use similar terms to the ones you use in your resume’s executive summary. Your profile’s Experience section, to a large extent, mirrors your resume’s references to jobs you have held. The Education section of your profile reflects the same educational institutions you list in your resume. Yet, a resume is a static document, while a Linked profile gives multiple [...]

The Soulful Entrepreneur Summit Rocked!

The Soulful Entrepreneur Summit rocked! This week-long event, held Jan. 24-28, was truly life-changing for me. Many thanks to Alison Proffit and Amanda Mundo, for creating such a heart-filled and information-packed event. Alison, owner of Proffit Coaching, is the creator of the summit. Amanda, owner of Social Hero Brands, is the co-creator. Amanda is on the left, and Alison is on the right in  the photo just above this blog post. They structured the summit around four pillars: soulful mindset, soulful money and time, soulful messaging, and soulful community. You may wonder how they interpreted each of these areas. According [...]

How LinkedIn Can Help College Students Land Internships

Have you ever thought about how LinkedIn can help college students land internships? When a college student’s LinkedIn profile aligns more closely with the position description for the kind of internship they are seeking, they are more apt to land that internship. Too often college students have a very limited amount of information in their LinkedIn profile. When they add more information about their background and aspirations, they paint a more robust picture of themselves. In November 2020, a college student from Spain reached out to me after finding me online. She wanted to know if I could help her [...]

Being Interviewed by A Kindred Spirit

Have you ever had the experience of being interviewed by a kindred spirit? When Nan McKay, founder of TrailBlazers Impact Interviews, interviewed me for her podcast, that’s what I experienced. Not only are we age contemporaries, we are both from the Upper Midwest. We both worked in the public sector during our 20s. Fast forward to now, we both have our own businesses with related services and goals.   Services Provided by Joyce and Nan   I coach business owners and job seekers, especially those 55 and up, to be more effective and productive on social media, especially LinkedIn.

Tell Your Compelling Story in Your LinkedIn About Section

Do you tell your compelling story in your LinkedIn About section? Be sure to use this section to its full advantage by sharing your story in a meaningful way. What is the Purpose of an About Section? Business owners, this section should be a narrative about you in the context of your current business and past career. Job seekers, it should be a narrative about you in the context of the job you seek to land. In her excellent book, “LinkedIn for Personal Branding: The Ultimate Guide,” Linked consultant Sandra Long advises: “Try to weave together your story in an [...]

Words of Appreciation Can Be a Wonderful Gift

Words of appreciation can be a wonderful gift – especially when you are honoring volunteers. For example, Paul Kluck recently wrote me a heartfelt recommendation on LinkedIn. In 2021, he was the president of the board of the Strategic Trusted Advisors Roundtable (STAR) – Denver, and I served on the board with him. STAR is a connecting group for advisors, each of whom has at least seven years of experience in their field. Members of our board are shown in the photo above this post. Back row, left to right: Doug Hartley and Paul Kluck. Front row, left to right: [...]

Using Social Media During the Holiday Season

Using social media during the holiday season can be complicated for some people. This stretch of time from Thanksgiving through New Year’s can be a challenging period. That’s why it may be better to limit the time you spend on social media during the holidays. In addition, you may choose to share social media posts that offer other perspectives on the holiday season.   Tips for Taking Breaks from Social Media Remind yourself that it’s OK to miss the news that constantly flows through social media sites. If something is really important, you will hear about it. Use other types [...]

Celebrating Colorado Free University

Please join me in celebrating Colorado Free University (CFU) as they are about to start their 35th year of providing adult education. Quoting from their website: “Colorado Free University is a lifelong learning center offering a wide array of skill-building and enrichment courses. More of a learning network than a traditional school, CFU draws its teachers from the community, and all teachers are independent contractors. Classes are designed for busy adults who want to get useful information or new skills without having to commit a great amount of time.” Currently, there are 125 teachers affiliated with CFU, and a wide [...]

Asking For and Giving Recommendations on LinkedIn

Many people have difficulties with asking for and giving recommendations on LinkedIn. Potential clients, referral partners and employers pay attention to the recommendations you have received and ones you’ve given. Yet, many people remain reluctant to ask for public recognition for the work they do. Further, they struggle with how to compose a recommendation that comes across as authentic, specific and meaningful.   Asking For Recommendations For someone to recommend you on LinkedIn, the two of you need to be connected on this site. Also, they can only recommend you for a position that’s listed in your Experience section. Therefore, [...]

Spotlight Your Strengths in Your LinkedIn Profile

Have you thought about how important it is to spotlight your strengths in your LinkedIn profile? You may have hesitated about doing this, as you wonder which strengths to include. If you’re a job seeker, you might choose to vary the strengths depending on the types of jobs you are pursuing. As a business owner, you may want to expand upon the strengths you list if the services or products you provide change.   How Can You Learn What Your Strengths Are?
