Leveraging LinkedIn's RSS Feed Integration
So, I was excited to share a LinkedIn feature that I just found out about which could make your content management a whole lot easier, especially if you’re not? already using a scheduler? If you know me then you already know how much I LOVE using RSS feeds! (Really Simple Syndications.) By using LinkedIn’s RSS feed integration, you can automatically sync posts from your YouTube or Medium channels to your LinkedIn company page! This feature acts as a free scheduling tool, making it easier to maintain an active and updated presence on your LinkedIn company page without additional manual effort.
Jason’s Council of Coaches Assessment Review
Jason provided a detailed overview of an upcoming session with his "Council of Coaches." This session will focus on reviewing a client’s assessment results to refine their media strategy and content. This structured approach is crucial for aligning a business’s messaging with its offerings, ensuring that all communications are consistent and impactful.

Zakia’s Event Planning Challenges and Lessons Learned
Zakia opened up about the difficulties she’s faced when planning an event for herself compared to the events she has planned for others. Zakia is well known for her white glove service and her attention to detail while working with others. I know this to be true, because I waited till the last minute to ask her for help and she did an amazing job: hosting, interviewing and debriefing me on how I setup a virtual event I set up last March. The question is where did her confidence go when it comes to her planning her own virtual event? Same place mine went when she helped me with my virtual event. It’s just so much easier helping others than it is helping ourselves! So, let me tell you about Zakia’s upcoming event, happening September 6th., 7th. & 8th. Handcrafted Live Virtual Soap Summit It Is So Nice! The elegant layout design of the website, The caliber of the internationally known speakers and the well known sponsonsors that targeted attendees will actually want to hear from and interact with! She may have had some “my virtual event days are fast approaching gitters” like:
