In the realm of things I'm good at vs need to work on, I think it's clear where me on video falls. But I'm working on it and as with most things the only way to get good is to keep doing. In other words, when you watch this share feedback and as video rental stores used to say in the 90's be kind [and rewind]. But I'm not alone here. For all of us, it's true that the only way to get good is to get going. And get going on LinkedIn. This the the platform, and one of the few places, where all the audiences that matter come together. For the c-suite that's employees, customers, investors, future hires, etc. So as you push yourself and your exec to get started sharing on LinkedIn, here are a few simple things to focus on first: 1) The Follow button is your friend: On your profile flip the primary connection option from connect to follow. You'll save connections for people you know in real life and growing a following allows a broader set of folks to learn from and engage with you over time. 2) Use the Featured section: This is your highlight reel, the small set of content that you want people to see first. Pin the posts, interviews or important company moments that best reflect what you care about and how you lead. 3) Just start posting and avoid the corporate speak: It's hard I know, we've been trained to talk a certain way at work. But it is the direct, authentic perspective that shows who YOU are that people want. That's what helps the audience you care about get to know the real you. Want more tips?
