Ep 69 Continuously Improving Your LinkedIn Profile with Daniel Alfon

Continuously Improving Your LinkedIn Profile with Daniel Alfon

When I first created my LinkedIn account, I added my name, and a nice picture and uploaded my resume. It turns out, for those of us who work as consultants and coaches, those resumes on LinkedIn don’t do much to help us connect with clients. Daniel Alfon is a LinkedIn expert, and he blew my mind with his insights in this conversation. Note: I updated my LinkedIn page live as we recorded the show. So, for the full effect, check out this episode on YouTube. https://youtu.be/QM9NB4F0HKE

LinkedIn is a powerful tool for career growth and finding new positions. It's a great way to get connected with people who can help you grow, and it's also great at helping you find new connections. When, like so many lean and continuous improvement professionals, you strike out as an independent consultant, you need to use LinkedIn differently.
