Hope your all had a fantastic week so far?

It's been a few weeks since we launched the business strategist podcast, a brand new show helping advisories, agencies, consultancies and firms in the professional services industry to scale up to 7 figures and beyond and I'm thrilled to share that we've just launched a waiting list for our next cohort for our inner circle business mastermind programme.

Here are three shows we recently released that should provide you with tips on how to build your personal brand and improving your leadership skills.

As a celebration for achieving a TOP Voice badge on LinkedIn, I decided to release a show sharing how I achieved the Top Voice badge and how you can too.

In this episode, Adam Strong discusses the importance of LinkedIn badges and how they can enhance personal branding and credibility. He explains the two types of badges on LinkedIn: the blue badge (Top Voice) and the gold badge. Adam then provides seven steps to achieve the gold badge, including optimising your profile, contributing to collaborative articles, and being consistent. He emphasises the need to be real, insightful, and supportive of others on the platform. Adam highlights the benefits of LinkedIn badges in building trust with the audience and concludes by encouraging listeners to take action and connect with him on LinkedIn.

Takeaways

1. LinkedIn badges, such as the blue badge (Top Voice) and gold badge, enhance personal branding and credibility.
2. To achieve the gold badge on LinkedIn, optimize your profile, contribute to collaborative articles, and be consistent.
3. Being real, sharing insights and case studies, and supporting others' contributions are key to success on LinkedIn.
