LinkedIn Local Brisbane CBD

Your current email address. That's it. The number of times I've had to officially reach out to someone as part of my work and I go looking for an email address and come up with some old Hotmail or Yahoo address you haven't used in 15 years. Professionals don't want to be spammed, but you also don't want to be not contactable at all. Update that email address!

“We lost the project to someone not as good as us, simply because they looked better online.” Just about every workshop I do, somebody will tell me that they have previously lost work / a project / a job to someone not as good as them. Not because they were a better fit, or could do a better job, simply because someone else was found first. First contacted. First thought of. In today’s world, your digital-first impression matters. When someone recommends you or your business, or is considering working with you, what’s the first thing they do? ????They Google you. And then it happens. They find… ?? A LinkedIn profile that hasn’t been updated in a couple of years. ?? A website that’s okay but doesn’t really align with what you're doing now. ?? Or nothing at all. And in that split second, they think: “Maybe "someone else" is a better fit.” Why? Because your digital-first impression didn’t deliver the confidence they needed to trust you. ? Your digital presence isn’t just about looking good online - it’s about building trust before you’ve even said a word. In my work, I see this just about weekly. Talented professionals, experts and amazing businesses missing opportunities - not because they’re not great at what they do, but because they haven’t translated that into their online presence. ?? Think of your digital presence is like a shopfront that works 24/7. It’s the first thing people see, even before they meet you. And just like a shopfront, if it looks uninviting, outdated, or inconsistent, people will walk right past - no matter how amazing the product is inside. Here’s 3 ways to flip the script: ??Take control of the story your digital presence tells. ?? Make sure your LinkedIn profile and your content speaks to your audience, don't make it all about you. ??Show up online in a way that matches the incredible work you do for your clients, members and communities. The best part? You don’t need to start from scratch. Just refine and align your digital presence to showcase the amazing work you’re already doing. #digitalfirst #linkedin

Thank you to Tom Blair-West and the team from Amora Brisbane for hosting some of our #LinkedInLocalBrisbaneCBD community for a fantastic Melbourne Cup lunch. Big congratulations on delivering an amazing, sell-out event! It was such a great afternoon and was nice to connect with our #LinkedInLocal friends in a more relaxed setting. Beyond profiles and posts, events like this allow us to get to know each other in a more casual environment. To everyone who joined, thank you for being part of it. Days like this help our community develop relationships further, and I’m looking forward to more events like this in 2025. ??Sharon | Jodi Lee | Kylie | Fiona | Kylie #networking #brisbane

What a fun day out with the LinkedIn Local Brisbane CBD crew for Melbourne Cup on Tuesday at Amora Brisbane. I'm not one to turn down a good opportunity to get dressed up and drink some bubbles, so when Kylie Chown "twisted my arm" I couldn't say no. It's no secret that I love a good networking op, but being able to sit down with some of those same people I see regularly at events and be able to chat about more than "just business" was a refreshing change. There’s something about stepping out of the usual work mindset, letting your hair down, and genuinely connecting on a more personal level. Thanks for a fun afternoon filled with lots of laughs Sharon D. Fiona Napier Tom Blair-West Kylie Woodhead

During a recent training session, someone asked me, 'What’s the one change I can make to my LinkedIn profile that would have the biggest impact?' My suggestion: Change your LinkedIn headline. Your headline sits right under your photo and name here on LinkedIn, why is it so important? ??Your LinkedIn Headline Follows You Everywhere: When people are searching for you, you’re posting, or commenting, your LinkedIn headline is one of the first thing people see before they even click on your profile. It acts as your personal tagline whenever you show up on LinkedIn. ??Keywords for Search: Your headline plays a part in LinkedIn’s search algorithm. Using the right keywords makes you more discoverable to your target audience. ?? First Digital Impressions Matter: Your headline shapes the initial perception others have of you. It’s your chance to make a strong digital first impression and invite people to learn more. On the flip side, here are some suggestions on what to avoid: ?? Buzzwords: Use specific language that your audience can relate to and shows your impact. Show don't tell. ?? Job Titles Only: A job title is a start, but don’t stop there. Add insights of your contributions, who you help or what you’re known for. ??Excessive Emojis or Symbols: These can affect your searchability. Your headline is prime digital real estate, and a quick update can make a big difference to both your searchability, and digital-first impression. ??Have you updated your headline recently? I'd love to hear your thoughts or see your headline below! #linkedin #digitalfirst #training
