Do This & Be Seen By Great Opportunities

Thank you to everyone who joined me for last week's LinkedIn LIVE session, Easily Post Your Path To Your Next Role With Video. I’m thrilled by the response and the commitment you all showed to taking charge of your career trajectory.

If you missed the session, or you’re here for a quick recap, I’ve got you covered. In just 20 minutes, we covered how to create impactful video content that positions you as a top contender for the roles you desire. But here’s the thing—it’s not just about creating content; it’s about creating the right content consistently.

The Power of Taking Action

If you’re still hesitating about posting original content, I encourage you to reframe that hesitation. Every piece of content you create is an opportunity to be of service to others through your expertise, values, and vision. A lot of organizations need your help and they don’t know you or what you do.? It’s your job to let them know.? Whether you're actively job hunting or just positioning yourself for future opportunities, your content is a key differentiator that makes you a standout surfer in the sea of sameness that LinkedIn can often be.

Remember, the goal isn’t perfection. The goal is authenticity. People connect with real stories, real insights, and real leaders. Don’t let the fear of getting it wrong keep you from getting started.? As Julia Cameron said, “It’s impossible to get better and look good at the same time.? Give yourself permission to be a beginner.”

What We Covered: A Quick Recap

For those who couldn't attend, here’s a quick overview of what we discussed:

  • Determining Your Video Content: We broke down how to choose topics that resonate with your audience while aligning with your professional goals. It’s not just about what you want to say—it’s about what your audience needs to hear.
  • Content Planning: I shared a simple yet effective content planner to help you map out your ideas. This tool is designed to eliminate the guesswork, making it easier for you to stay consistent with your posts.
  • My #1 Video Tip: We also touched on a crucial tip for creating engaging videos—keeping it concise and focused. This approach not only respects your audience’s time but also increases the likelihood of your content being shared.

And, of course, there was a bonus tip at the end for those who stayed with me until the close of the session—a practical action step to get your first video post live on LinkedIn.

What's Next?

Now that you have the tools and insights, it’s time to take action. Start small if you need to, but start. Post that first video, share your thoughts on a recent industry development, or highlight a project you’re proud of. The more you put yourself out there, the more opportunities will come your way.

For those who want to dive deeper, I’ll be sharing more tips and strategies in upcoming posts. We’ll explore different content formats, how to optimize your LinkedIn profile, and ways to engage more effectively with your network.

Final Thoughts

Your journey to your next executive role doesn’t have to be a solitary one. By engaging with your connections through original content, you’re not just waiting for opportunities to come to you—you’re creating them.

Keep the momentum going, stay consistent, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further guidance. Together, we’ll navigate this journey and set you on the path to your next great role.

Looking forward to seeing your content on LinkedIn!

Terrific article, CHRISTINE (Executive Career Coach) C. GRAVES! Great reminder of the power of video, especially on LinkedIn (you are the embodiment of that principle). I have the same question as Karen Covy: Are there any exceptions? Who shouldn't be posting original content on LI?

As someone who wants to "lead with a servant heart" I love the messaging you used - "Every piece of content you create is an opportunity to be of service to others through your expertise, values, and vision." By leveraging that mindset, it would almost be selfish not to share it... no matter how "imperfect" it might be. ??
