Your September career reset part 2

The one thing you probably aren't doing (that is super valuable to your career prospects...)

Any guesses what we are talking about today? I’ll give you three…

1. It’s an over-looked way to increase your authority and improve your visibility as a professional

2. It could take you as little as 10 minutes a day to maintain and is a great habit to get into (you know how much I love my good Atomic habits!)

3. It’s something you need to nurture before you need it…

And no, I’m not talking about a daily delivery of coffee to improve your relationship with your line manager!

Of course, I’m talking about LinkedIn - the sensible shoe of social networks.

(But an incredibly powerful way to make your mark in the world of work)

To catch you up, this is the second part in “Your September Career Reset” - a weekly series for paid subscribers that will give you the insight, tools and advice to supercharge your career before the end of 2024. Ideal if you’re a new or aspiring leader and ready to push onto that next level.

Here’s Part One - focusing on your brand and the importance of being clear on your purpose and your values.

Future parts will cover:

• Job interview strategy and tips (much requested)

• Setting goals that actually move you closer to a promotion

• Moving from tactical to strategic in your role

And there may be a bonus free edition in there somewhere too, with all of the professional habits you should cultivate if you are serious about a career in leadership.

Let me know if there any other topics you are desperate for me to cover. I have a long list, but always open to your ideas and input!

A couple of items from me before we get to the main show this week:

1. I am holding a free workshop this Friday September 6th at 11:00am GMT - on overcoming self-limiting beliefs in order to reach your full potential in leadership. It’s a taster of one of the modules we cover together on my group programme, so come along if this topic resonates with you and you’d like to see me in action!

2. Enrollment is now OPEN for The Confident Leader group coaching programme starting on 24th Sept. There’s a LOT of info in the enrollment page, so take a look if you’re ready to take some action this year (and I’ve included more manageable ways to pay as well)

And now to the power of LinkedIn…

LinkedIn is definitely having a moment. I first joined the platform more than 10 years ago, (in fact, it may be even longer than that!) and back then, it was pretty much just the place where you would announce a new job.

It wasn’t even used as a hiring platform back then, let alone as the powerful professional social network that it is today.

I love it, and use it every day. So why should you?
