Meet your facilitator:
An early adopter of LinkedIn, Karen Tisdell recognised the platform’s potential when working as a recruiter. Foreseeing the importance of how business leaders are perceived online, Karen began her LinkedIn profile writing business in 2009.
A decade on she ranked by the SMMI as one of the top 8 independent LinkedIn trainers across Asia Pacific and has facilitated training for some of the biggest companies in Australia.
Karen is the preferred LinkedIn trainer for Women on Boards, the Australian Institute of Management, and the Australian Marketing Institute. A guest lecturer to the MBA students at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Karen also writes profiles for board members, senior leaders, and subject matter experts.
Session 1 - Wednesday 5th February 12pm - 1pm AEST (Brisbane)
Posting and People You Need to Meet
You know you need to be visible. Connecting, creating content, and taking part in industry discussions will massively improve your positioning. These days, it’s not just what you know; it’s who you know and who knows you. But it’s hard, isn’t it? We all fear making a misstep – being rejected, laughed at, or judged.
No matter how much our future depends on us stepping forward, it’s easier to stay put. In this interactive and practical session, we’ll lift you out of the shadows and get you unstuck – showing simple frameworks to create and grow the reach of content on LinkedIn. Plus, Karen Tisdell will guide us on how to search, connect and build meaningful, career-enhancing relationships.
Don’t leave success to chance. Sign up to this LinkedIn session and install the LinkedIn app prior to learn even more tips and tricks.
Session 2 - Wednesday 19th February 12pm - 1pm AEST (Brisbane)
Improving Your Profile
Google your name and your LinkedIn profile is typically one of the top results. How are you showing up?
With over 1 billion individual members globally (15.5 million in Australia), understanding how to build a differentiated personal brand on LinkedIn and communicate it with razor-sharp clarity is critical to success.
Unless you have a great reason not to be visible (such as working for ASIO!) then you need to create a profile that will win the right attention.
However, it can be difficult to tell your own story. And on a platform that has experienced many changes, it can be tricky knowing where to start! Be guided by Australia’s leading LinkedIn profile writer, Karen Tisdell, on creating a compelling Headline, learn how to write that tricky About section, use the Featured section, optimise your Experience section, assign Skills, and keep your details and data secure.
