A quick trip down memory lane
One of my favourite childhood memories was watching The Wizard of Oz with my grandma. I lost count of the number of times we watched it, and I can’t believe the videotape didn’t break. Yes, I’m showing my age 😃 No schmancy remastered version.
As a child, I loved it for the songs I could badly sing along with, the bright colours and of course, the happy ending. What I didn’t realise at that time, but would later as an adult, was the many life lessons contained in this classic story.
Travelling along the yellow brick road together with Dorothy, we see that she searches in all the wrong places looking for answers. Spoiler alert – she had the answers all along (oh, come on, there can’t be anyone left that hasn’t seen it yet?)
Do you feel on LinkedIn that you do the same? There can be conflicting or contradictory advice that seems to work for others, but in your gut, you know it’s not right for you, or you may be paralysed in the background. Digitally invisible.
Benefits of LinkedIn Coaching
I had an epiphany last week and truly understood the power of working with experts in their field. On one side, I was the coach and catching those lightbulb moments with my clients. The flip side, more powerful, was me being on the receiving end of some fantastic unofficial coaching from Michelle Griffin – Branding Strategist. (You should follow her too! Tell her I sent you.)
I’m fiercely independent and pride myself on always being able to “figure stuff out”. So I wanted to re-write B2B GROWTH CO to reflect my business of today. Since I write a lot of content, I figured it shouldn’t be that hard. Yet, in reality, I have avoided it for months. The truth was, I didn’t know the best way to write for a website. I didn’t have clarity on my messaging. I am not trained in web design. I was doing a disservice to my business by not getting expert guidance, and who knows what new business opportunities were missed?
The short session and expert guidance got me unstuck, and I jumped ahead, leaps and bounds in the right direction.
How LinkedIn Coaching can help your small business -
- Cheerleader – there for your success on the good and the bad days,
- Empathy – understanding that the LinkedIn journey is different for everyone,
- Independent advice – an outsider’s perspective can often uncover blind spots to growth,
- Clarity and Peace of Mind – gain certainty you are on the right path,
- Efficiency – get more out of LinkedIn in less time.
I’m not smarter than you, but I’ve spent 8 years on LinkedIn learning, growing from mistakes, researching and building a community of experts to stay up to date. If you run a small business you don’t have time to waste making mistakes. MJR
