Bruce Johnston has been helping people use LinkedIn™️ more effectively for the last 13 years and I've been a follower for 8 years. Bruce is a great wordsmith and one of the more original thinkers out there when it comes to LinkedIn™️ so I thought it was about time to bring him onto the show to share some of his insights. |

LinkedIn™️ seem to love it, more and more posts are created by it and comment threads are becoming infested with it...so I thought it was time to revisit the topic of AI and try to answer this important question... Can AI be used in a credible, authentic and ethical way on LinkedIn™️? That plus...

With the demise of Creator mode, or the opening of creator mode to everyone (however you wish to view it!) imminent, it probably opens up the possibility of all LinkedIn™️ users having the opportunity to create their own newsletters. So it seems a good time to have a new look at this feature so that you can decide whether you will be be going down that track. That plus;

This month we will see Creator mode disappearing and with it, the obligation to have 'Follow' as the primary option on your profile so I thought it was worth revisiting the persistent question...Connect or Follow? That plus;

Has your feed changed recently? Are you seeing posts from people who are unfamiliar to you? This may be due to LinkedIn™️ deciding that they know what 'quality' content looks like. Not you...you are clearly not in a position to decide this for yourself! This week I discuss what we can do to fix this. That plus;

This week I find out about the 'person behind the profile' with the LinkedIn content Queen herself Nanna Sondrup Nanna was very open and honest in this chat where she describes a troubled childhood experiencing terrible bullying and parents distracted by her brother who had severe ADHD challenges. She herself was later diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD yet has managed to become a very well known LinkedIn™️ expert in Denmark. Join me in hearing why Nanna is such an INteresting person! |

Welcome to the first edition of interesting People, a new type of show for the LinkedInformed podcast. We often come across people on LinkedIn™️ who look interesting and produce content we find valuable...so we follow or connect and over time we feel as though we get to know them better. But do we REALLY know them? interesting People interviews are designed reveal more about the background, personal lives and characteristics of some of our favourite people on LinkedIn™️. For this first episode, I sat down and had a good old heart to heart chat with Ashley Leeds. Ashley always comes across as energetic and very positive...but is he always like this? We discuss the traumatic events that influenced his childhood, why he quit his promising career as a Chef, how he met his wife Debbie, his kids, his many career and job moves and how he ended up being the 15-minute LinkedIn™️ guy! I absolutely loved finding out more about Ashley and I'm sure you will too |

Every year I dust off my LinkedIn™️ crystal ball and look at what changes I think we will see on the platform over the coming year...every year I get it spectacularly wrong! I like to think I'm ahead of LinkedIn Corp' with my thinking because often my predictions eventually come to fruition a few years later! Either way, it's always fun to do and gets us thinking about what we want from LinkedIn™️ (in truth I produced a wishlist rather than a list of predictions, this year is a bit of a mix) So here are my predictions and wishes for this year... |
