An introvert on LinkedIn
If you have seen my content on LinkedIn, you might be surprised to hear that I am a real introvert! I have always preferred to be behind the scenes, rather than taking centre stage but on LinkedIn, I have figured out a formula that works for attracting inbound leads.
Inbound leads?
Yes, that's right but don't expect this to happen overnight, it does take time and effort, not to mention being consistent. If you expect quick results, I am not the right person for you but if you want to learn to create content in a way that aligns with your core values, I am the person for you.
Why me?
Yes, there are lots of LinkedIn experts out there and I don't profess to be one but I really do understand the platform and I also know how to create engaging content. I have been using LinkedIn for 13 years and during that time it has gone through a lot of changes. The perception of the platform has also changed, although many will still view it as an online CV platform.
My approach
As already mentioned, I want to help you to learn to love LinkedIn but you do need to be willing to embrace it. The tips I share with you can also be applied to other social media platforms because in my opinion, it's about understanding the best way to create compelling content in a way that feels natural to you. In return, you will attract the right type of clients/customers.
Things we will cover
Tone of voice, messaging, brand image (I don't mean your logo and colours), personality and the list goes on but this is all really important in finding the best way of creating content for you. This is why I don't have a one-size-fits-all approach to the mentoring I offer.
Learn from my experiences
Here we are, 13 years on from when I first created my account. I understand the platform and I have mentored others on how to use it. I regularly receive comments/messages from people telling me I am at the top of their feed or that I create engaging content, so let's connect and you will be able to see what I do from my own account.
Creating compelling content for LinkedIN

Understanding YOU
Before we get started on the ins and outs of LinkedIn, it is important that I understand YOU! What type of person are you, are you an introvert or an extrovert, do you enjoy using social media or is a necessary evil?

What is your why? Are you wanting to raise brand awareness? Is it to increase your network? Is it to create content in a way that aligns with your values and doesn't feel icky to you?
