Connecting the dots: How-facilitators-can-leverage-linkedin-to-build-their-network-2023-6-19-17-6-18.pdf Why are you on #linkedin? Seriously, why? Who are you on #linkedin? What are you offering on #linkedin These three questions, explain the building blocks to setting up and exploring LinkedIn. 2 weeks ago I had the privilege to share an evening with an amazing group of facilitators from Taifa Teule Network. Sharing foundational insights on how #facilitators of the Taifa Teule Network can use LinkedIn for networking. One thing I always share: - Don't be caught up in trying to appear valuable, you already are! - Don't try to be appealing, be authentic! I realize that what is of most importance is not how many likes and reposts what we share on LinkedIn matters but being able to engage (learn and teach each other something new), share experiences (no matter how young and unpopular what we do is), and connect. Simple! All thanks to Emmanuel Misiati for providing me with a stage to engage with more than 76 energetic facilitators. Kudos to all those who made it to the session.
