In case you missed it, there’s a lot you can do on LinkedIn. (So much, in fact, that I’ve written dozens of articles to equip you with the tools and tricks you need to succeed on the platform.) From building your network to showcasing your story and growing your business, LinkedIn is...
Who says your career has to fit into a nice, neat little box? Many of my clients are unique, successful, and interesting precisely because they didn’t follow the same linear path as everyone else. Maybe they took a year sabbatical to travel the world, served a cause or church on mission, or...
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...
Since the pandemic, most of us have become quite accustomed to alternative meeting formats, whether that’s a phone call, a video call, or a good old fashioned face-to-face conversation. At this point, we’ve all slid into meeting norms—weekly Zoom check-ins, team conference...
Whether or not your official title includes the word “sales,” most of us sell in some way. From pitching your product or service to a new customer to recruiting a new team member or getting buy-in on an idea, having sharp sales skills can help you achieve your professional goals. If...

Back in 2019, I published an article on LinkedIn I’ve since referred to as, “It’s Okay to Be Awesome.” It’s all about the power of LinkedIn recommendations. In the time since I first wrote that article, I’ve had dozens, maybe hundreds, of conversations...
Every now and then, I meet a LinkedIn skeptic—someone who understands the importance of a professional profile but doesn’t see the value of actually engaging on the platform. By now, I think I’ve heard all the excuses, from lack of time to doubt about the impact. Do you fall...
I recently asked our social media account followers what they want to do better this year, as it relates to LinkedIn. So many of you told me you need help networking. That’s no surprise, because no matter where you are in your career, networking is an essential part of leveling up what you...
At McMillion Consulting, I have the opportunity to work with all sorts of people from many different industries. While much of my training centers around prospecting, selling, and business growth, I occasionally work with clients who are on the job hunt. LinkedIn allows you to tap into the...
