LinkedIn Profile Optimization for Professionals with Donna Serdula #63

Nick Day is joined on The HR L&D Podcast sofa by Donna Serdula, who is an influencer that has been pivotal in pioneering the concept of LinkedIn profile optimisation for business leaders across the globe.

This work led Donna in 2009, to found Vision Board Media and LinkedIn-Makeover.com where she developed the now coveted, “LinkedIn 4-point methodology”.  Donna now has over 40 writers working for her who all work hard to help thousands of executives, entrepreneurs, sales stars, business leaders, and professionals from around the world to create professionally branded LinkedIn profiles.

Donna is also the author of the book “LinkedIn Profile Optimization For Dummies,” published by Wiley.

Now, Let’s be honest, when was the last time you took a detailed look at your own LinkedIn profile?  How many of you know it could be a little better and yet we still haven’t done anything to improve it?  Or perhaps the question we should be asking ourselves is this - what incredible opportunities are we missing out on because of an un-optimised profile?

LinkedIn has over 610 million professionals in over 200 countries listed on the platform and for many, LinkedIn provides the first impression of you that others see.  So why aren’t we using it to its fullest extent?  What can we do to ensure we are leveraging the power of the platform more effectively?

Fear not!  Because Linkedin Profile branding expert Donna Serdula is here to help!

Donna has been featured on Forbes, Business Insider, Time’s Money Section, Wall Street Journal’s Market Watch, LA Times, NBC, SiriusXM Radio’s The Focus Group, and many other news outlets so without further ado, lets welcome Donna Serdula to the show!
