Update LinkedIn New Profile Webinar

Update LinkedIn New Profile Webinar Ive been working on the content of my 90 minute webinar for the new LinkedIn Profile.  It was supposedly going to be rolled out to everyone by end of year last year, but my Profile is still missing some of the new stuff (namely, the ability to add rich media). The webinar will be on Jan 17th at 9am Mountain Time you can sign up here (the price goes up on Jan 11th).  There are bonuses listed on this page: Ive spent time going through the new Profile line by line. Its cool, but its different. Some things are the same, like the need to write to a human being (the reader), and tell your stories. Other things are different, like how your Groups are showing, and of course the quasi-new skills and endorsements. Some people have pictures that were good for the old Profile, but are too small for the new one, so they have a goofy looking THICK border around their picture. LinkedIn is a place to FIND and BE FOUND.  In the webinar well focus on being found, and what impression you are leaving when people find you. Again, in this webinar I will NOT use it as a 90 minute session to try and sell you on something else.  This will be a lot of meaty content, with time to answer your questions and thats it.  Solid content, no pressure. Join us? Choose one of these as a  bonus: The  LinkedIn for Job Seekers DVD (normally a $54 value), OR A  personalized LinkedIn Profile critique (normally $99).  I will do these AFTER the webinar, so you can make some changes based on what we talk about on the webinar, and send you a video recording.  Usually between 12 and 15 minutes, from top to bottom of your Profile, OR One year premium of JibberJobber (normally $99).  JibberJobber is the CRM for professionals to help organize a job search, or if you are not in a job search, to help manage relationships with your personal and professional contacts.  Entrepreneurs and solopreneurs use JibberJobber to help keep their contacts organized and nurtured with JibberJobber.

Modeling Alex Coras Approach to Create Your Championship Company Culture - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Modeling Alex Coras Approach to Create Your Championship Company Culture - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career You would think that creating a championship culture is easy with athletes making multi-millions of dollars each season. But, in my experience, it is just as hard creating a championship culture in that environment as it is creating it in your company. Baseball managers have to deal with players that show up with attitudes, behaviors and performance similar to your employees. I know that’s hard to believe but they have to deal with athletes with… inflated egos, an inability to take feedback and coaching, closed minds to changing how they are doing things because theyve had a lot of success doing it their way for a long time, but that approach isnt going to get their performance to the next level. an attitude focusing more on the position they are asked to play, or their playing time, rather than what is best for the team overall Does any of that sound familiar? If so, you may want to take an approach like Alex Cora used during this baseball World Series championship season for the Boston Red Sox. First-year manager Alex Cora created a unique culture among his team. It led to winning a record 108 games during a 162 game season for a .667 winning percentage, among the best in the history of Major League Baseball. Coras was a simple approach. He treated each of his team members like a human being and not an object that was simply a means to an end goal. Too many business leaders do the latter and not the former. Here are two examples of Coras style: After losing Game #3 of the World Series in a record 18-innings over seven hoursCora walked into the clubhouse and called everyone together. He looked at each one of them and said he was grateful for their effort and proud to be part of their team.It was emotional, shortstop Xander Bogaerts said. By the end of it, we felt like we won the game. (ESPN.com, Tim McKeown, Oct. 29, 2018) Asked whether he ever gets angry with his players in other words: Is your calm exterior an elaborate lie? he said, No, I dont. I talk to them. If I have something to tell them, I just sit with them. Casual, very casual. I try to have good conversations. (ESPN.com, Tim McKeown, Oct. 29, 2018) See, it all comes down to good communication. Championship caliber communication. Prompt, Direct, and Respectful communication. You can create a Championship Company Culture just like Alex Cora did with his Boston Red Sox. All you need is your own game plan and a commitment to championship caliber communication. Easier said than done, I know. Thats why only those truly committed who stick with it and get coaching win championships. But, the end result is worth it and pays dividends for a long, long time.

Do HR Professionals Fail to Control their Own Careers

Do HR Professionals Fail to Control their Own Careers HR professionals are not taking their own advice when it comes to managing their career according to a new survey by our friends at LinkedIn, with modesty and a lack of planning preventing them from taking control of their career and finding fulfilment in their role. The study found that 42% of HR professionals don’t have any kind of career plan in place with 70% believing that they have missed out on promotions due to professional modesty. This compares to a national average of 51% and 56% respectively. Perhaps as a result of this lack of control, the survey finds that almost a fifth (19%) of HR professionals feel ‘unfulfilled’ in their jobs whilst a further 22% view it as ‘OK’. This compares to a national average of 24% and 26% respectively. The study of 2,000 workers across all sectors found that as many as 70% of HR professionals said they’d rather work in another job given the opportunity, and 40% admitted to regularly suffering ‘Sunday Night Blues’. It also found that a quarter admitted to feeling uncomfortable connecting with someone more senior on LinkedIn. Richard George from LinkedIn said: “As a nation, we’re famous for our modesty, but we shouldn’t let that get in the way of our careers. Knowing how to showcase your achievements doesn’t mean bragging; it’s an invaluable skill for getting ahead at work. And the same rules apply online as off. We were surprised to learn that 40% of HR professionals don’t have a career plan, particularly as this is advice they regularly give to people. But it doesn’t have to be complex or intimidating.” LinkedIn today announced the launch of a ‘Career Control’ campaign to help professionals take control and plot a path to their future career. For career control, LinkedIn recommends: Have a plan â€" To be fulfilled at work, you first need to decide what you want from your career â€" what are you passionate about, and what’s going to get you out of bed in the morning? Once you’ve got an end goal in mind, it’s much easier to prioritise the connections you need to make, and the skills you need to develop, to get there. Plot your path â€" Looking at people’s careers that you admire can help you plot your own career path. Whether it’s Richard Branson or your boss, use LinkedIn to look at the path that they took â€" this will help you sketch out your career “to do” list. Do your research â€" Whether you’re networking on or offline, the same golden rule applies â€" do your research. If you know who’s attending an event, for example, you can come armed with conversation starters, likewise having a bit of background on the people you’re networking with online can help you tailor your patter. Big up without bragging â€" To show your skills without showing off, be selective. You don’t need to mention everything you’ve ever done on your CV, LinkedIn profile or in job interviews. Cherry-pick your best achievements, and make sure you’ve got tangible examples to back them up. Finding a colleague to endorse your achievements can also be incredibly useful. Make sure your on and offline personas match â€" With employers increasingly checking candidates out online as part of the hiring process, the online world is your career “shop window”, so make sure your profiles are up to date and engaging. Also make sure the prospective employers can only access the things that you want them to â€" checking your privacy settings on social sites is important to make sure your personal and professional lives don’t mix. (Research findings based on a Censuswide survey of 2,000 UK part-time and full-time workers, conducted in May 2013. This included 41 HR professionals.)
