Advanced LinkedIn Strategies Coach

The Optima Blue Community

I ran a LinkedIn-focused members organization: The Optima Blue Community is focused on knowledge, sharing and fun. We are a diverse collective of caring and smart professionals (also known as “Bluvians”) who are laser focused on getting as much out of LinkedIn as they put in, and most importantly - having fun doing it.

LinkedIn can be a frustrating and lonely place - belonging to Optima Blue makes it substantially less so. 

Optima Blue is now free to join and we welcome everybody. Search on "Bluvians" to find and request to join our LinkedIn group. Contact me if you would like to join our 'Bluvian Besties' chat group.

Creator & Community Leader

Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.

I provided coaching and consulting services to Challenger Gray & Christmas clients which maximized their effort, enhanced their abilities and significantly reduced time spent on their job search. I partnered with our clients in transition and helped to develop and optimize their search strategies by providing insightful analysis of their career options/objectives/weaknesses and strengths. I leveraged a blend of proprietary and proven one-on-one coaching techniques to assist our clients in a variety of key job search areas including: interview training, resume development, job sourcing techniques, offer negotiation, online branding, networking and personalized marketing plans. 

My specialty: coaching clients to comprehend and fully leverage the LinkedIn platform to network within and ultimately benefit from the (unnecessarily mysterious) ‘hidden job market’.

Recruitment Consultant

Reassuringly expensive LinkedIn Coach.

I've shared my LinkedIn knowledge with hundreds of professionals (thousands if we're counting seminars, ZOOMs, guest appearances/speaking engagements, presentations etc.) over the last decade. 

The feedback I consistently receive is that the information and guidance I provide is insightful and incredibly useful. I don't just flex what I know. I assess where you're at, what you need, and where you want to go. 

When you buy my consulting time, you get value for money, the opportunity to work with a knowledgeable, high energy instructor who is laser focused on helping you as much as I possibly can (and if you’re American.. very likely to charm and impress you with my British accent, which apparently adds ~25 points to my IQ score).
