When LinkedIn invites you to a “Link Up” affair in San Francisco, you book a flight and go! 🛫 I had the privilege of being at an exclusive gathering of thought leaders, content creators, and Top Voices across industries, sectors, and geographies. Over the years, I would ignore LinkedIn connection requests from people who I did not know personally or professionally. But I learned just in the last few years that yesterday's “unknown” connections and followers can turn into genuine connections, colleagues, and friends today and beyond. The opportunity to connect, share, and learn with LinkedIn community members who came as far from Hawaii, Arizona, and Canada was simply priceless. And even more, we had the chance to hear from the product team members as well as ask questions, provide feedback, and share ideas for improvement. I even got to confess to some of the LinkedIn gods AKA Philip Smart and Himanshu Gupta about my momentary fluster when LinkedIn replaced one of my Top Voice badges with a new one. And only to find out later I actually received additional badges (see link in comments). This invite-only event was another reminder to use the power of your voice. No need to go searching for it. It resides within you. But what you do need to do is stop overthinking. Just pick up the pen and paper and start writing. 🖊 And see where it leads you. Just a few folks I got a chance to meet and be part of their tribe: Leah Shin | Cathy Liu | Hannah C. | Anthony Selkowitz PhD | David Peterson, PCC | Ini Adesiyan | Elaine Lou Cartas, M.S | Ashwin Krishnan | Mika Lepisto | Jason Wilson 📶 | Dr. Beverly Yates, ND | Helen Yu | Mahesh Vinayagam ______________________ What have been your best moments from your LinkedIn posts? #collaborativearticleslinkup #publicaffairs #ShastaAdvisory

Let's connect and grow together—consistently and thoughtfully! #LinkedInNetworking #ProfessionalRelationships #ConsistentEngagement

Two years ago, I clicked “post” on LinkedIn for the first time. My first post took off! It got a lot more traction than anything I had ever written anywhere. I thought “Wow, I guess I’m a natural at this.” Then my next 10+ posts got about 10% of the engagement of that first one. There was even one that got a single, solitary “like.” It was from my wife. I thought, “Wow, I’m really bad at this.” Then throughout the last two years, I’d have ups and downs here. There would be times when I’d think, “I really seem to have figured this out!”. Which were of course always followed with times when I thought, “Nope - I still have no idea what I’m doing.” But through those highs and lows, there were some great consistencies over the last 2 years: 🔹 I met so many incredible people. I’m not talking about growing follower counts. I’m talking about substantive conversations and real connections. 🔹 I improved my writing. 🔹 I learned fantastic tips on becoming a better lawyer, manager, and communicator 🔹 I became more creative, and the desire to provide valuable tips to others here motivated me to think of new and better ways to do my job. 🔹 Which ultimately led to a new job which I've loved! 🔹 I learned the value of opening a window to my personality, and how it can lead to better (and more productive) relationships with people who have been coworkers for years. 🔹 Most importantly, I’ve had a tremendous amount of fun! So if you’ve ever thought about posting on LinkedIn, January 19 is a great day to start! Just think about all you could gain. #LinkedIn #ThankYou

"Is my post even good enough?" If this thought haunts you... I've got your back. 1. Overthinking → Doubting every word, every idea. 2. Time Drain → Lost hours chasing 'perfection'. 3. Pressure → Craving approval, fearing judgment. But here's the real deal about LinkedIn: 1. Real Stories→ Authenticity over perfection. 2. Insights → Value over vanity. 3. Courage → Connection over fear. So, what's LinkedIn really for? 1. Authenticity → Be real, be you. 2. Sharing Value → Engage, don't just post. 3. Consistency → Show up regularly, not Randomly. To sum it up... LinkedIn isn't about crafting a 'perfect' post. It's about sharing stories, sparking conversations and building connections. P.S. When was the last time you hesitated before hitting 'post'? P.P.S. Why wait for 1st January? Today, 1st December, is a perfect time to start building your presence. Let's make it count!

"No Random Connections"? My Genuine Engagement Cracked the Code! Ever scroll through LinkedIn feeling like everyone's already connected. Leaving you on the outside looking in? I've been there too. But here's the thing: genuine connections can happen anywhere, even (and sometimes especially) on LinkedIn. - Case in point: an amazing professional I admire just reached out to me, unsolicited! Here's the story: 1. Engagement: I regularly commented on her insightful posts. Adding my own thoughts and sparking healthy discussions. 2. Conversation: She noticed! We started exchanging direct messages, Going deeper than the usual LinkedIn comments. 3. Connection: Then, woah! She messaged me directly. Saying the way I engage with her content and genuinely converse impressed her enough to break her "no random connections" rule. My takeaway? Be human first, professional second. ✅ Show up with open curiosity. ✅ Engage authentically, and let meaningful connections blossom organically. ❌ Don't force it, just be your best, engaging self. So, my challenge to you: next time you see someone's post you admire. ❌ Don't leave a generic "great content!" and leave a thoughtful comment. ✅ Start a conversation. Who knows, your next unexpected connection might just be a message away! P.S. Share your own stories of LinkedIn connections built through genuine engagement in the comments! #linkedinconnection #linkedingrowth #authenticengagement

Your LinkedIn™ activity is public. And that's a good thing. ⤵ Comments are content. When you're mindful of what you're commenting on and what you're saying you can use those comments to leverage your visibility and showcase your perspective. What you interact with (reactions, comments, and polls) will potentially get seen by those you're connected with (and even reach 2nd degree connections!) That's why this space can be so powerful! Don't let your activity be the reason to hide and not share at all. Rather, use it as a way to highlight the personal, empathetic, expert, curious, giving, supportive side. It's not just about what you publish. It's also about what you add to the conversation and bring to the table.

⚖️ Before December 31, 2023, I do not believe I ever posted real content on LinkedIn.   Maybe I used the forum to share public accolades I garnered.   But, not real content.   Officially, I have gone six (6) straight months posting daily to this forum.   I have NOT missed a day.   I hoped to deliver authentic, unique content.   I hoped to share my voice in every post.   I hoped to use this forum to share my knowledge with people who might find my musings helpful and sometimes entertaining.   Like anything else in my life, I don’t like to do anything half a**.   I don’t chase the attention or the impressions.   I chase the authentic connection I can make with some of the people whom I have used this forum to reach.   I’ve been pleasantly surprised to learn that people have connected with my voice.   Not just people seeking to use the forum to sell services.   People seeking to learn or hear different perspectives.   I welcome feedback from anyone other than the internet trolls.   As I challenge myself to deliver another six (6) months of content, I welcome the feedback so I can keep making meaningful connections with people.

19898+ Impressions in 28 Days. 🔥 Wait, i know it's not a big number for soo many of my fellows . But for me it matters a lot bcz i started to explore linkedin properly from 1st January,2024.
