Oh how I’ve missed some late night sourcing…

You know:
Favorite tuned playing,
Searching and reviewing profiles
Going down rabbit holes
Kids sleeping
Playing around with a few AI agents… (it is 2025 after all…

And then around 10:33pm… boom.

You find that candidate you HAVE to talk to.

You know who you are.

😉

All the real recruiters get it.

Recruiting top leaders isn't optional if you want a great business,

Hire the wrong person - morale goes down, goals don't get hit, people leave.

Hire the right leaders - goals get smashed, people are inspired, and retention goes up.

That's why recruiting is crucial in business.

The ability to attract top talent is what separates the best from the rest.

The ROI of great recruiting is a successful business.

Never forget that.

We're not a cost center.

I ❤️TA.

Don't judge…

Always support and have empathy.

You never know what could happen.

Act accordingly

👏👏👏

Employer Branding | Amplifying your unique voice online ⚡️LinkedIn Strategy + Trainings for Individuals + Corporate Teams 👾 It's a blurry world 🎙The LinkedIn Lounge Podcast Host

The personal is professional. 

When it comes to using LinkedIn, the professional networking platform, we hide everything personal about ourselves and the human side of the work experience. 

You're thinking: 

"I can't say that."
"I'll lose credibility."
"What will so and so think."

You don't know what to say or how to share your professional experience in a meaningful way. 

You're worried about your professional reputation.
Worried about what your colleagues will think or say about you
Afraid you might be proved wrong or don't live up to your title. 

Getting started is the hardest part.

And once you do it's a confidence growth journey in discovering your voice and sharing your story. It takes time and commitment to show up consistently on LinkedIn. 

With guidance, direction, and intentionality you can make your LinkedIn profile work for you - tapping into exciting unimaginable opportunities! 👏

The State of LinkedIn - Understanding and Using the Platform

4 consequences of becoming ruthlessly visible? 


When you enter into a relationship, you must be willing to be vulnerable, share, and be open if you want to grow together. ♡

Why would it be any different when you're working relationship to where you dedicate most of your day, your creativity, your energy, and your expertise? 

When you start sharing there will be a response.

Often we focus on the negative: 
I'm embarrassed. 
They won't like it. 
They'll say something bad. 
How will this reflect on me?

👉 By sharing you ARE making a statement. 

It does reflect something about who you are, how you think, how you work, your opinion, and what well, makes you, you. 

So when you show up and hit publish:

🔹 You demonstrate your confidence. 
🔹 You inspire others to also start sharing. 
🔹 You create a space for people to connect with you. 
🔹 You open the door of opportunity to come knocking.

People are watching. 

That's scary. 

But when there's nothing there, it's difficult to form an opinion.

Let them form an opinion and then decide. 

We can't be for everyone and that's good news! 

Are you ready to get ruthlessly visible on your terms? 🔥

Telling your personal professional journey can feel scary.

You feel like you have nothing to share. 
You're experience seems irrelevant...
You don't know where to start.
You don't know what to publish.
You don't know what's acceptable.
You're afraid of who will see it and how they'll react...

There are a lot of doubts surrounding sharing your own content in a professional network.

You're putting your reputation on the line.

But by crafting your public story you create the image you actually want people to have of you.

Just like at a live networking event, you're going to make much better relationships if you 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽, 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘂𝗽, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. ⚡

And here's the thing ⤵

People are watching (but not hounding)
People connect with people (relatable content matters) 
Personal content (stories) sparks better conversation. 

Which quote resonates the most with you?

Visibility Quotes

The hesitancy of sharing on LinkedIn is often rooted more in the fear of being seen then not knowing what to say. 

There are a lot of reasons (excuses) why to not post. 

- Not the right time. 
- Waiting until X moment. 
- No need to share publicly.
- Someone else says it better. 
- Don't have something of value to share. 
- No one cares what I have to say about this topic. 

But LinkedIn offers an opportunity for people to get to know you. 

To see HOW you think. 
See a part of your story. 
To hear your unique voice. 

It's an opportunity to surprise, impress, influence, and impact. 

Your online presence doesn't replace your in person power, energy, and presence. 

But does create a gateway to conversation and to new opportunities that go well beyond this feed. 

It all happens when you're ready to GET VISIBLE. 💥✨
