Get better connected with the people in your field on LinkedIn
Professors tell me they want to have an online presence beyond their Twitter profile. Having an digital footprint that's not reliant on your university is empowering.
LinkedIn is my top recommendation for academics. It's a great way for you to network (if you want to) because LinkedIn makes it easy to search for people with your research interests. It's the best alternative to a personal website, showing up at the top of Google Search results. And, it's become more social than you might expect. LinkedIn is NOT just for business people.
These videos walk you through updating each section of your LinkedIn profile to highlight your
- research
- teaching
- service
- leadership
The cool things you do and care about that, when we share them, helps people connect with us. This is a course all about your LinkedIn profile.
If you want to learn to share your thought leadership through posting on LinkedIn...Or, searching for non-academic jobs with LinkedIn is your goal, check out my friend Dr. Gertrude Nonterah's Build a Scholar Brand.
My LinkedIn Profile course is not designed to teach you how to post on LinkedIn. It's focus is specifically on your LinkedIn profile because a strong profile is powerful for your online presence even if you never share a post. This training is designed just for professors, researchers, and grad students like you.

Hi, I'm Jennifer (@HigherEdPR)! I'm happy you found my LinkedIn profile course. I love working with professors to build an amazing online presence that shares their research, teaching, and values with the world. But you don't have to work with me 1-on-1. You can 100% do this yourself.
I have free resources to help you on The Social Academic blog. A LinkedIn profile is well worth the effort wherever you are in your academic career.
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 1-on-1 consultation.
You get a 14-day money back guarantee with your course purchase. There's no risk when you sign up for this training.
Think you need 1-on-1 support? I have a LinkedIn VIP Days service where I build a profile for you + personalized social media training. Great for busy professors who actually don't have time to do-it-themselves. Let's talk on a no pressure Zoom call about working together on your LinkedIn and online presence.
