As I’ve progressed in my career, I’ve realized that so much of growth is “unlearning.” We spend years being sponges, soaking up every piece of advice we receive, only to realize later that not all of it is helpful or even true. Sometimes, unlearning means tossing aside...
If you’re on LinkedIn, chances are, you probably have an interest in building your professional network. After all, at its core, that’s what LinkedIn is designed to support! If you’re a pro at working a room and making connections in person but struggle to build your network...
Let me set the scene: You’re sitting at your computer and staring at your LinkedIn inbox. You can see that your first message to a warm prospect was read, but ignored. Bummer. A week and a half goes by with no response, so you decide to send a second message. Still, crickets. A couple more...
Most of the clients I serve would only call themselves students in the sense that they’re lifelong learners. Still, I receive a surprising number of questions related to LinkedIn for students. In the spirit of helping my people help their people, I’ve decided to dedicate a full...
