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 [...]

Streamline Your LinkedIn Experience

Would you like to streamline your LinkedIn experience? To a person, every one of my clients says “YES” when I ask them that question. So many people are frustrated by all the emails, notifications, and invites they get on LinkedIn. There are some easy ways to achieve the goal of having less information coming to you from LinkedIn. Reduce the Number of Notifications You Get My Network Section. Recently, LinkedIn introduced the “Catch Up” tab in this section. In this tab, LinkedIn alerts you about events such as birthdays, job changes, and work anniversaries. To stop getting these alerts, click [...]

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 person giving the feedback? Or would you prefer getting feedback in front of a small group of people who are also getting such feedback? Maybe both approaches appeal to you. Or perhaps you want to start by having an overview class on LinkedIn to learn more about profiles in general. Starting June 14, I’m launching a monthly LinkedIn small group coaching workshop. The “Enhance Your LinkedIn Profile Workshop” will be every second Friday from 9 [...]

Showcase Your Skills on LinkedIn

Did you know there are several ways to showcase your skills on LinkedIn? LinkedIn’s help center says: “Maintaining a relevant list of skills on your profile will help others understand your strengths and match you with the right opportunities.” A robust and appropriate list of skills on your profile is essential, whether you are a job seeker or a business owner. In her recently updated article Updating Your Profile on LinkedIn: 13 Skills You Should Add (and 3 Types You Shouldn’t), Zoe Kaplan covers: Why you should add LinkedIn skills Types of skills to add, such as job skills and [...]

LinkedIn Training for CU Denver Change Makers

Recently, I conducted LinkedIn training for participants in the Change Makers program through the University of Colorado Denver. The time with them flew by, as they had so many questions about LinkedIn. This wonderful experience energized me. The participants in the semester’s program are 56 to 74 and looking for what to do next. Some are currently in the workforce, and some have retired relatively recently. The folks I spoke to are in the 10th week of this 14-week program, which involves twice-a-week classes. The program is structured to provide the participants with plenty of opportunities for self-reflection. It [...]

Launching a LinkedIn Newsletter

Have you considered launching a LinkedIn newsletter? If you’ve already done so, it would be great to hear about your experiences. I’ll launch my LinkedIn newsletter on February 9, and I’m excited about this venture. A part of my plans to start this newsletter, I’ve turned to LinkedIn and other sources to learn what’s involved. Also, I’ve reviewed a handful of newsletters published by colleagues to get ideas on format and topics. You might be wondering what’s involved with a LinkedIn newsletter. Instead of publishing articles individually, as you would when you post, you can publish them through your branded [...]

Up Your Game on LinkedIn in 2024

I challenge you to up your game on LinkedIn in 2024. As for me, at a minimum, I commit to posting more often on my company page, taking more advantage of the features of Sales Navigator, and publishing a monthly newsletter through LinkedIn.   Make More Use of My Company Page Do you have a company page for your business on LinkedIn? Even if you have a one-person business, there’s value in having a company page. One of the benefits of having this page is that creating it and posting to it will increase your company’s SEO.

How Your Brand Comes Across on LinkedIn

Have you ever thought about how your brand comes across on LinkedIn? How you describe yourself in your LinkedIn profile is a key part of your brand. The items you choose to post about and the comments you make on the posts of others also reflect your brand. In a few days, I’ll attend an event with 25 speakers, including me. There are five speakers in each time slot and five rounds of sessions. That means I can select four other sessions to attend along with my own. I want to experience sessions from speakers whose brand resonates with [...]

Share Your Interests and Values on LinkedIn

Do you share your interests and values on LinkedIn? You may find that the business-oriented culture of LinkedIn doesn’t lend itself to sharing your interests and values. Yet, there are many ways you can use LinkedIn to show folks that you are more than what you do for a living. Whether you are a job seeker, a business owner, or a business development professional – you can benefit by sharing your personal side. You could add sections to your LinkedIn profile that relate to your interests, such as your participation in volunteer activities. Also, you can vary your posts to [...]

Use LinkedIn to Grow Your Membership Organization

There are many ways you can use LinkedIn to grow your membership organization. These organizations can range from service clubs, like Rotary or Kiwanis, to professional associations to community organizations, like Toastmasters. Recently, I helped Nancy Winston (pictured above), a Toastmaster for over 40 years and a retired educator, to start using LinkedIn. Quoting from the Toastmasters International website: “Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that builds confidence and teaches public speaking skills through a worldwide network of clubs that meet online and in person. In a supportive community or corporate environment, members prepare and deliver speeches, respond to [...]
