Should I #verify my LinkedIn profile? #PersonalBranding
I have a dilemma.
I gave myself a
#brand #makeover
a couple of years ago by changing my LinkedIn profile name.
Originally I used my legal name,
Lisabeth L. Rosenberg.
Later, I changed it to:
Lisa Terracina Rosenberg
It better defines me.
I sign my artwork as
LISA TERRACINA or TERRA
There has been confusion
at art shows regarding my name.
To verify yourself on LinkedIn, you need to use your name as it appears on an official identification, like a driver's license.
QUESTION:
Do I change my LI back to my legal name to get verification?
If I do verify, will I lose my verification if I change my name back again?
Lisa Terracina Rosenberg
is easier - everyone calls me Lisa
Rosenberg, is typically Jewish
- not Italian.
My maiden name, TERRACINA
is of ancient Italian origin
- a Jewish name that can be traced back 2400 years.
Terracina is a seaside village outside of Naples.
It means, Land of China
I grew up in a predominantly Italian immigrant community, in Highwood, Illinois.
My parents owned a restaurant and tavern specializing in Northern Italian cuisine.
My mother, a language teacher,
was from Florence. Her father a painter and musician of note.
Her mother a Visconti.
My father was a famous Roman-Jewish boxing champion who is stilled remembered.
He fought at Anzio as an American soldier after escaping Jewish persecution in Italy.
As Creative Director at ARRELLE,
I worked with Italian businesses.
Italian was my first language.
TERRA means dirt, land, clay.
CHINA as in ceramic tableware
and pottery.
It's the perfect name for ME,
- a ceramic artist and sculptor!
LinkedIn claims that #verification of your LinkedIn profile can be crucial in elevating your credibility.
I would like that added boost.
