Hello!

First a special THANK YOU to Rowena Winkler for leading us in a fabulous workshop on polishing-up our LinkedIn profiles! Next, thank you to the participants who joined this virtual workshop.

Rowena provided a plethora of knowledge on how jumpstart and maintain our online LinkedIn presence. Some points highlighted from the session were:

Rowena is a "fan" of personalizing the cover photo; maybe make the photo location based, or have photo match you line of work

Update your headline

Rowena highly recommends having an “About” section. End this section with a call to action and/or how people can contact you

Want to have 500+ connections in LinkedIn

If an article you read puts you in the mind of someone, send it to them via LinkedIn; helps with keeping in connection with folks

Show your expertise in the Featured section

Giving and asking for recommendations can be beneficial

Be on the lookout for upcoming Mentoring Program workshops and gatherings!
