455. Interesting People - Louise Brogan

We often come across people on LinkedIn™️ who look interesting and produce content we find valuable...so we follow or connect and over time we feel as though we get to know them better.

But do we REALLY know them?

Interesting People interviews are designed to reveal more about the background, personal lives and characteristics of some of our favourite people on LinkedIn™️.

This episode features the wonderful Louise Brogan, A much travelled LinkedIn™️ trainer with an IT background, a passionate feminist and advocate for small businesses.

We talked about the following topics

Growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles.
Going to a school situated along the 'murder mile'!
Why she left Belfast to study in Scotland
How her travels have taken her around the world three times!
Her early career in IT support including working for a massive corporate and why she eventually joined the NHS.
Starting her own business and being risk averse
The impact of losing her Dad when she had a 4 week old baby
The advice she received which guided her towards social media training
The pivot from broad social media to specialist LinkedIn™️ training & the benefits that has brought
How she became a successful 'YouTuber' (over 2 million views) and why it attracts customers
How she once turned criticism into a successful LinkedIn™️ post
