Managing Communications Consulting的动态

It’s Why Not Wednesday! For me today that means Why Not Quit Asking the Wrong Questions. I was chatting the other day with a business associate who said, “I don’t use LinkedIn much, because it’s so political.” I don’t think I ever asked why, probably because I have never thought of LinkedIn as being political. Instead, I just started chatting up the value of the platform. Sometimes we don’t ask enough questions. I could have said “What is it about LinkedIn that makes you feel people are talking about political topics?” Or, “Um…are you thinking people are using it to share their views on politics or more to position themselves in some way connected to a political issue?” Listening for what might prompt a good question is maybe hard in a 1minute read. How many opportunities do we miss when we get a compliment online? “Thanks for sharing. I need this today!” Why not say, thank you. What did my post make you think about?” Please humor me with a comment to finish your Why Not…………… #communications #marketing #hamptonroadsva

?? 35K Connections: Who Said Networking Isn’t Fun? They said LinkedIn was just for job seekers. They lied. It’s also where you meet thousands of people who agree with your thoughts (or at least politely click *Like*). My Tips to Crush #LinkedIn: ?? Treat it like coffee: consistency matters. ?? Share what excites, teaches, or entertains. ?? Use emojis sparingly (unless you’re writing this post). ?? Engage like a human, not a bot. Thank you, all 35K of you, for making my LinkedIn journey *worth scrolling*! What’s your funniest LinkedIn moment? Let’s laugh together in the comments! ???? #LinkedInMilestone #35KConnections #NetworkingPower #PersonalBranding #ProfessionalGrowth #DigitalNetworking #OpportunitiesUnlimited #LearnAndLead #ThoughtLeadership #CommunityBuilding #CareerSuccess #CelebrateGrowth #InspireAndConnect

I just read a post from someone I’m not connected to so I guess I couldn’t respond yet again complaining about the political content on this platform. Don’t get me wrong. They do get tired sometimes. But I guess it depends on your preference, but I find political post often being better exploration of somebody’s personal perspectives than whatever boring certification or sales milestone you accomplished. Often the things you post are not understandable to anyone outside of your industry. What I find annoying is other people wasting half of my activity wall complaining about others use of LinkedIn and providing nothing of substance when block is a valid option. By his very definition LinkedIn is only for people finding jobs and enhancing their careers excludes people who are retired and have no career goals and why somebody like him a retiree will be here? Simple they here because this is a social medium where we learn about other people. And yes, I get the irony of my own post, but in my defense, it was written as a comment and I needed to get it off my chest #linkedin #humanity

Hey everyone, I've got something important to share, and it's about an unexpected encounter I had on LinkedIn recently. So, picture this: I'm just going about my usual networking routine when I get a message from this guy with a seriously impressive profile—tons of followers, all the professional accolades, you name it. I'm thinking, "Cool, this could be a great connection." But then, out of nowhere, his message starts off with "OK baby, I'll help you. Can we be friends?" ?? I mean, seriously? On LinkedIn? It was totally unexpected and honestly kind of uncomfortable. It's like, we're here to network and build professional relationships, not, you know, whatever that was. Just because he was having a good experience and posted about giving some good opportunities doesn’t mean he can talk anything. Anyways, it got me thinking. Even on a platform as buttoned-up as LinkedIn, there are still some folks who seem to have missed the memo about boundaries. And that's not cool. We should all feel safe and respected when we're trying to make connections and further our careers. So, I just wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone else has had a similar experience. Let's chat about it and maybe even share some tips on how to handle these kinds of situations in the future. #boundariesonlinkedin #onlineprofessionaletiquette #professionalboundaries

Hello LinkedIn family member, Recently, one of my connections asked me why don't you respond to my msg but u r giving reply to every comment. See, Please don't think I am an egoist or rude.The reason is that everyone asks the same questions. I may not respond to your questions like how are you, What you do ? etc But definitely ,I will respond to your relevant questions. When we make connections or follow someone, we definitely give a look to their profile where professional information is available about that person..That's the reason I don't answer it. #LinkedIn #connections

"The Power of Personality on LinkedIn " ''I Felt My Fellow members are worried about there journey'' As I scroll through my LinkedIn feed, I'm reminded that this platform is so much more than just a professional networking site. It's a community, a hub for connection, and a space for self-expression. But, have you ever stopped to think about what makes someone's content stand out? What makes their posts resonate with others? What makes their personality shine through? For me, it's about being authentic. It's about sharing my thoughts, experiences, and lessons learned in a way that's real and relatable. It's about being vulnerable, yet strong. It's about being myself, without apology. When we embrace our true selves, we attract like-minded individuals who resonate with our energy. We build meaningful relationships that go beyond the surface level. We create a community that lifts each other up, rather than tearing each other down. So, how can you tap into the power of personality on LinkedIn? - Share your story, not just your resume - Post with purpose, not just to post - Engage with others, don't just wait for engagement - Be authentic, not just professional - Show your passion, not just your expertise Remember, your personality is your greatest asset. Don't hide it, embrace it. Let your true self shine through, and watch how your community responds. Let's connect and support each other in our journey to building a strong personality on LinkedIn! Thanks. Vineet Sonkar #LinkedIn #Personalgrowth #innovation #CommunityBuilding #SelfExpression #Vulnerability #Strength #Relationships #PurposeDriven #PassionOverExpertise

LinkedIn has always been a platform for professional networking, knowledge-sharing, and career growth. However, I’ve noticed a concerning shift in recent times. The feed is becoming cluttered with political agendas, gossip, and attention-seeking posts. Let’s remember that LinkedIn is not Instagram or YouTube. While trends may change, the focus on meaningful professional discussions should remain at the heart of this platform. We should prioritize real conversations, valuable insights, and authentic connections. Let’s keep LinkedIn a space for professional development and growth! #KeepLinkedInProfessional #ProfessionalNetworking #ValueOverVirality #LinkedInCommunity #MeaningfulConnections #CareerGrowth #NetworkingMatters #LinkedInInsights #StayProfessional #BusinessFocus

Why I Hate LinkedIn ? I recently came across a story about a frustrated LinkedIn user who felt the platform had failed him—and millions like him. As a recent graduate, he was told that LinkedIn would be the gateway to his career, connecting him to the right professionals and life-changing opportunities. But after years of chasing connections, he realized it wasn’t working. His network had grown, but his career hadn’t. He missed the point. LinkedIn isn’t about the volume of connections. It’s about building meaningful relationships. We’ve all heard it: “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” But what if I told you that’s only half the truth? Who you know matters—but the depth of those relationships matters more. It’s easy to fall into the trap of collecting connections, hoping that sheer numbers will unlock the next big break. But numbers don’t equal value. Your network isn’t about how many people you know—it’s about how well you know the right ones. So, how do you focus on building meaningful relationships? → Be authentic. Connect with people who inspire you and share your vision. → Offer value. It’s not just about what they can do for you—think about what you can offer them. → Follow up intentionally. Relationships aren’t built in a day; they’re nurtured over time. In a world obsessed with numbers, focus on building bridges—not just connections. Because real bridges lead to growth, opportunity, and success. What’s your take? Let’s discuss in the comments! #NetworkingTips #RelationshipBuilding #GrowthMindset #LinkedInSuccess

Lately, I've seen an increase in political posts on LinkedIn. While politics can impact our work, I believe LinkedIn should primarily remain a space for professional growth and industry insights. To maintain this focus: Stay Relevant: Share content that directly impacts our industries. Be Professional: Keep discussions respectful and aligned with our professional goals. Promote Value: Focus on posts that contribute positively to our professional community. What are your thoughts on maintaining LinkedIn as a professional space? #Professionalism #LinkedInCommunity #FocusOnIndustry

To cull or not to cull? ?? With over 5000 connections on LinkedIn, I've been speaking to people lately about the value of LinkedIn connections. Some of my connections I've met in person, some I haven't. Some I engage with, many I don't. Does a lack of recent engagement diminish their significance though? As my professional journey evolves, new connections emerge, while old ones remain. What do you think of this... 1) Should you keep your contacts updated? 2) Is it better to maintain all the connections you've ever established? If you're more towards #1, how to you define what's up to date? #Networking #LinkedInConnections #ProfessionalDevelopment
