I created this pre-recorded training to empower you to build your LinkedIn profile and feel supported along the way. Whether you've had your profile for years, or you're just joining now, LinkedIn is my top recommendation for academics who want a strong online presence beyond their university. Professors would come to me and say, "I found some articles, but they were written for business professionals. I unsure how to share my research/teaching/leadership on my LinkedIn profile." If you've ever felt like that before, this is the course for you.
Let's to it together with these pre-recorded lessons I made to help you along the way. When you finish, if you find you want support from me, my private scheduling link is inside for a paid 1-on-1 consultation. Explore ways we can work together on your online presence.
