Quick-Start Shoreline Working Session: Lean LinkedIn

Lean LinkedIn is all about learning how to use LinkedIn strategically to present your business value - and not your resume.  In this working session, learn to use LinkedIn to position your brand, elevate your expertise, and strategically position you and your business for your preferred future.

Lean LinkedIn will help you:

    1.  Create your new LinkedIn profile with confidence and ease.

    2  Secure your vanity (personalized) URL and make your profile public (or choose not to!)

    3.  Elevate your expertise by sharing key highlights from your professional life.


Just like business planning is future planning – your LinkedIn profile is a place to selectively present “brand you” in the best light possible. Do a Google search on your name. You may notice that your LinkedIn profile comes up near to the top of the results page. This tells us LinkedIn has very good Page Rank.

Catch the eye of hiring managers and share your capacity for future success with potential partners with your Lean LinkedIn profile.
