Episode 29 - Visibility vs Spam In this episode, I look at visibility and everything around being seen and not allowing your pipeline to dry up. A recent conversation about content and marketing got me thinking about being visible and spam, as the constant flow of content is hard to manage and as more marketing material can cause people to turn off.

This episode is about LinkedIn in particular whether you need a business page or company page and how to manage it if you are creating one. Your personal LinkedIn profile is an extension of your personal network and brand. It’s a way for you to connect on a personal level online. A business page is slightly different. While personal profiles have connections, company pages have followers.   Some benefits of having a company page include: Elevates the quality of talent applying for a role. Potential employees will review your company page, so make sure it reflects your organisational values. Leverage company visual branding by including images and logos. A company page is also a great place to share videos. Add specific products and services and launch new products and services. Share updates and provide a collection of information team members can easily share within their own personal networks. This allows the company to engage with followers. Some disadvantages include: Needs an allocated page

Episode 26 - The Role of LinkedIn for Different Levels in your Organisation In this episode, I talk about LinkedIn profiles and how everybody has a slightly different role to play in their organisation. 4 Levels of an Organisation's LinkedIn Strategy: 1. CEO2. Executive3. Managers4. Business Development To be found on LinkedIn and stand out from the crowd, it is important that your organisation’s staff profiles have a clear purpose. A person makes a decision about someone within the first three to four seconds of landing on their profile, so it is vital that your company’s profiles align with your organisation’s LinkedIn strategy.

Episode 25 - What Makes You Unique In this episode, I discuss what makes you unique, what draws people to you and why your personality matters to help you stand out and help you grow your business, particularly if you have a personally branded business.  In a digitised world, the opportunity is there for you to stand out from the crowd. First and foremost, you need to maintain your ability to connect on a human level. As Victor Hugo, French writer from the Romantic movement, said: “To divinise is human, to humanise is divine.” What can you and your business do to humanise your connections on LinkedIn?

Episode 22 - Creating a LinkedIn Group This episode is about LinkedIn Groups and how they can build your personal brand; but also are they really worth the time, energy and effort as they can take a bit of work? When you look at LinkedIn overall, assuming that you have an account, if you don't then maybe it's something you would like to think about as part of your personal brand as part of yourname.com, one of the ways that you can really build your positioning and your LinkedIn profile is showing that you are the expert at something, that you know how to do stuff, answer people's questions or share content. LinkedIn provides this opportunity to have a group and LinkedIn has about nearly 400 million people at the moment and you have 5 profiles created every second, it's just extraordinary; so you've got the ability to connect and invite people to a group if you're building it. On your profile, you can have up to 50 groups and if you have a look, there are thousands of groups, some are open groups where you ca

Episode 21 - LinkedIn and Personal Branding for CEO's This episode is all about LinkedIn and Personal Branding for CEOs. You might be the CEO or the rainmaker perhaps or a CEO who does have a strong personal brand that is part of the identity of the business. Today what I really want to do is to perhaps dispel a couple of myths about LinkedIn for CEOs. The positioning that comes with being a CEO is a really powerful tool to be able to leverage that for business growth. I think CEOs are really missing a real opportunity to leverage their LinkedIn profile.

Episode 20 - Thought Leadership on LinkedIn This episode is all about Thought Leadership. You might start to be noticing that there are more people contributing on LinkedIn. Maybe you might subscribe to Pulse on LinkedIn. Pulse is a curation tool or the tool that captures the topics that you might be interested in. So LinkedIn is not just about your profile being up there but it's a way for you to position yourself as the expert in your field. Something that is quite unique about it is that it is Business to Business and it's a bit different than Facebook. I think it creates the perfect platform for your positioning strategy.

Episode 19 - Interview with Organisational Agility Expert Patrick Hollingworth In this episode, I have a great conversation with Patrick about his passion and the parallel between climbing mountains and the consulting work he's doing. Patrick Hollingworth is a mountaineer, inspirational speaker, facilitator, author, CSP, TedX presenter who helps large organisations contend with uncertainty and adapt with changing circumstances. What he has to say about using yourname.com in your business:  Best thing about yourname.com enables you to change and not have to constantly change your website domain. You're constantly changing and evolving. By sticking to yourname.com that's your base camp at the foot of the mountain and you might go off and climb one mountain and then come back to base camp and then go off and climb another mountain, cross the other side of the valley, but you're still coming back to yourname.com, your basecamp and that can evolve as you evolve.
