Confident Conversations is a weekly podcast show for ambitious women about confidently balancing work and life, hosted by me, Sherry Bevan, Author, Coach & Speaker. A former Global Head of IT Service for a City law firm, I now work as a women’s leadership coach helping ambitious women get clear on what they really want then find the confidence to do it.
In episode 027, I share with you the 3 key things you need to attract the right people and the right opportunities to your LinkedIn profile, regardless of whether you are using LinkedIn for your career or your business. You need these 3 key things for career or business opportunities, speaker invites, or to showcase your expert authority.
First you have to get the basics right in your profile and I briefly cover the 7 essentials which are explored in more detail in episode 013 i.e. your photo, your headline, your summary, your experience, recommendations, groups and connections.
Once you have created a powerful LinkedIn profile, you need to focus on 3 key things:
- Strategy
- Consistency
- Authenticity
Discover what you need to consider to create an effective strategy, what is important about consistency in terms of brand and showing up, and finally how authenticity doesn’t give you licence to share everything. Authencity is raising your awareness and being more mindful that what you share says something about you.
