- How do you define success? LinkedIn believes success is when who you are lines up with what you do. A great way to bring your unique success story to life is through your LinkedIn profile. Your profile helps you get recognized and opens the door to new opportunities, like partnerships, new business, mentorships, or speaking events. It gives you credibility, showcases your brand, and tells your story. So what exactly is a profile, you ask? Your LinkedIn profile includes content, such as videos, photos, and presentations that bring your work to life and help your professional community connect to who you are and what you do. Are you the type of person who's created and posted videos on YouTube? Perhaps you've designed, built, and launched a website. Or maybe you love creating tutorials to share with others. Congratulations, you can add these to your LinkedIn profile as video content and website links. Have you taken lots of photos at professional events, like conferences, trade shows, team building, or launch events? Guess what? Those can be included in your profile as well. And lastly, you might have slide decks you've created for successful presentations, keynotes, or workshops you've led. Consider putting examples of those in your profile, too. The thing is, you want to showcase who you are, the incredible work you do, and the impact you've made throughout your career. Remember that famous quote by Maya Angelou? "People will forget what you said, "people will forget what you did, "but people will never forget how you made them feel." That's exactly what a LinkedIn profile is all about. Focus on bringing your work accomplishments and career journey to life by making people feel something. Remember, no matter how you define success, it starts with your LinkedIn profile. Get ready to take advantage of the many ways to showcase your unique skills and talents by building a dynamic LinkedIn profile that represents you.
