In this episode, Wynne Leon is with co-host, Dr. Vicki
Atkinson and we are talking about tweaking LinkedIn to reflect our identities as authors.
Dr. Atkinson has so much good advice on how to build a presence that reflects our many facets. Her professional experience as a career counselor, therapist, and educator comes shining through in this episode. We learn some great how-to’s in this episode.
I found updating my LinkedIn profile to be challenging. I have 30+ years in the technology industry and I’m unsure how to marry that with my writing and experience as an author.
So Vicki walks me through using headlines instead of titles. She provides a great tip about using tags to introduce some dynamism into our profile and ability to be
found.
Dr. Atkinson talks me through the idea of integrity as it applies to building a profile that honors ALL of who we are. As we pivot from professional experiences, interests
and passions, she coaches us to do the story-telling to paint a picture of our
whole-hearted experience.
And finally, we talk about the use of images to compliment our presentation.
I’m confident you’ll learn a lot -- and also love the scenic and beautiful places we explore as we share the power of storytelling in our profiles.
We know you’ll love it!
