We're back with issue 015! Just as the Fall arrives, change is brewing in the company... What rebrand will you vote for? ??? https://lnkd.in/eBZ-7NGZ

"A strong brand profile can give your business a recruitment edge by showcasing what makes your organization special." What we're reading this week: "Of course, consistency is critical. I can't tell you how many brands I've seen pour time and money into short campaigns only to neglect their LinkedIn page for months. While you don't want to be churning out content just for the sake of it, there is a balance to be found between quantity and quality."

Don’t meet strangers online, networking online is a joke... This is what we’ve all heard from society, right? ?? Well, I have a different opinion about it! I recently attended an online networking event hosted by Lauren, and it was an amazing experience! ?? It was a Connection Power Hour with the theme product + engineering. Lauren organized it on the Gatheround platform. It was my first time using it, and I must say, it’s truly great! ?? There were various activities such as one-on-one sessions, small groups, group sharing, and even a photo booth! Here’s what I learned: ???? Have a good internet connection (I got disconnected twice ??) ???? Prepare a 30-second elevator pitch in advance—you’ve only got 5 minutes to impress! ???? "Narrow yourself down to a specific thing (niche)"—best advice from Christof ???? Be sure to ask questions at the right moments, as there are times when the conversation may fall silent. ?? People from over six time zones joined the event! ?? I met some amazing individuals like Matheus, Christof, Keith, Jr Oliveira ??????, and Manan, all excelling in the SaaS and engineering fields. Although I couldn’t meet Rahel and Roofi during the event, it’s been great connecting with them afterward! ?? So, should you attend such events? A big YES! But remember, networking works best when it's between equals. In my case, I had my LinkedIn services to pitch, and likewise, everyone had their own needs. For example, if you’re a startup owner, there’s no point in networking with a chef… unless you need delicious food! ?? Strive to make real, meaningful connections within your industry! If you don’t know Lauren Gibson, her goal is to connect 100 people. I loved how she transformed a normal networking event by breaking it into Role, Industry & Interests.

31 people are on board. Are you next? Hey! Lauren here. I'm on a mission to connect 100 people in one-on-one breakout rooms. Connecting unique people together is kind of my jam. So I decided -- Why not make this an event? Happy to share that no. 3 is complete. 11 freelancers and solopreneurs in one room. Fostering deeper, meaningful connections off LinkedIn. Want to attend a future one? Comment or send a dm! -- People connections are the core of the #futureofwork ??
