I’m flying 6,000 miles to Thailand to talk about TRUST to a room full of marketing companies. I'll be talking at The Indie Summit, about why trust matters and its relevance to LinkedIn.

I’m excited to meet independent agency owners and leaders who see LinkedIn as a long term relationship builder, not just another content channel.

I’ll be sharing what’s working right now to build visibility and trust, and where to focus your effort now, especially with LinkedIn’s latest algorithm shift (360Brew) changing what gets seen - and why.

A session built for busy agency leaders: useful, specific, actionable.

Looking forward to hearing from Kimberly Afonso and Viviana Žorž, M.Sc. speaking just before me, and Kathryn Williams, who is delivering the keynote and our Master of Ceremonies, and also from Julian Boulding owner of thenetworkone who organises the conference.

Will I see you there?

As I'm sure you can understand, I will NOT be on my phone or my computer during the day so although I will have some posts scheduled (so you can still learn stuff while I'm having fun), please forgive me if I don't respond to your comments.

No alternative text description for this image

Do you ever say something nice at a networking event?
A quick, genuine compliment. Nothing big. Just human.

“Loved what you said there.”
“Love your coat/bag/shoes"
“You explained that so well.”

So why do we go quiet on LinkedIn?

If you catch yourself thinking something nice while you’re scrolling, type it. Send it. Done.

It makes them feel good.
It makes you feel good.
It takes about 10 seconds.
And even if you never speak again, it still lands.

Next time you’re scrolling, try a note like:

“I loved your post today. Really clear.”
“Your banner is brilliant. It says exactly what you do.”
“Your About section is so well written. That line about [X] really landed.”

Send it, then carry on scrolling.

And why this photo?  Because Ceylan Boyce, Marie Fraser and I connected at this event as we loved each others' outfits!

Are LinkedIn polls dead?...here are some insights that might surprise you...

On a recent poll I ran it had:

🔶 285 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬
🔶 3,978 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐈𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝
🔶 152 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

That’s 7.2% 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 1 𝐢𝐧 14).
And the comments tell the real story, people didn’t just click, they had something to say.

Polls aren’t dead. People will vote… but only when the question is worth answering.

If you want people to vote, the question needs to be:

~ relateable
~ specific enough to have an opinion
~ easy to answer
~ comfortable to answer

The real skill is asking something your audience wants to weigh in on.

Surprised at these results? Let me know in the comments.

Have you ever wanted to message someone on LinkedIn… and then realised you can’t, because you’re not connected? 

You could send them a connection request but there is another way. 

Think what you would do in real life.

In real life, you’d see if someone could introduce you. 

On LinkedIn, we start to overthink it.

But a warm introduction is one of the easiest ways to cut through the noise, especially when someone gets loads of connection requests.

The great thing is that LinkedIn TELLS you who your mutual connections are. How easy can this be? Just send one of them a message asking for an introduction. 

That’s it. Low effort for them. High trust for you.

Do you ever ask for warm intros, or do you default to sending a cold connection request?

I am honoured to have been chosen to speak at ADFEST (Official) 2026. Nothing to do with the fact that it's in Thailand of course!

Thailand keeps popping up in my diary this year! 🇹🇭

After sharing that I’ll be speaking at The Indie Summit, I’m very excited to say I’ll also be taking the stage at 𝐀𝐃𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐨𝐧 21 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡.

More details on what I’ll be covering soon, but it’ll be practical, straight-talking, and designed for creative people who know that they SHOULD be using LinkedIn but don't know where to start.

If you’re heading to ADFEST, let me know in the comments. I’d love to say hello.

My day started well - and just got even better!

Thank you Karen Bright for your video review of my book 'Employee Advocacy on LinkedIn'. I am honoured that you took the time to create this and that you chose MY book for your 'book of the month'! 

I love that you won the book too in a draw as part of UpLift Live as organised by John Espirian, Gus Bhandal and Jeremy Freeman. 

You really have made my day, thank you 💜

Do you manage a company page? Or create content for one?

Are you finding it harder to get visibility on your posts?

Organic reach for company pages has become increasingly challenging... even when you’re sharing valuable, well-crafted content.

So what can you actually do about it?

My recommended read for March tackles this head-on.

📚 Employee Advocacy on LinkedIn (by Sarah Clay) has been on my reading list for a while. And then, by pure chance, I won a copy in UpLift Live’s competition a few weeks ago (note: I'd have shared the same review regardless of whether it was gifted).

If you’re looking for practical ways to extend your reach beyond the company page and empower your people to amplify your message authentically, Sarah's book is worth a read.

Have you explored employee advocacy yet? I’d love to hear what’s working for you.

More updates on 360Brew and how it can help you get better visibility on LinkedIn by doing it RIGHT. Here, we're looking at how employees and teams should use LinkedIn. 

Don't forget, though, as always, your audience is the most important reason you're here. 

360Brew is rewarding meaning + relevance + expertise.

For employee advocacy, that means three shifts:

🔶 Relevance beats reach
Small, right audience > big, random audience.

🔶 Depth beats noise
Visibility is judged by deep, intentional engagement, not vanity metrics.

🔶 Participation beats performance
Employee advocacy is not just posting. It’s showing up, commenting, and building trust in the right places.

If your programme is built around “get more people posting”, now might be time to rebuild it around “build trust with the right audience."

Hey folks, I'm in holiday mode (2 more sleeps!), so I just HAD to share this wee nugget with you. 

It's a 'review' of my book! 

Well, sort of....  I asked my AI to help me create some content from my book to re-purpose here on LinkedIn to position me as a speaker at corporate events. 

I really want to help you lot understand what employee advocacy is and how you can be using it for your company.

I pasted in the first chapter of my book to my AI bot and this is what 'it' said! 

So there you go folks - perhaps you should head over to Amazon and buy it - I'd hate you missing out on all my gold! 🤣
