Do you have a methodology for using LinkedIn?
LINKEDIN METHODOLOGY // Do you have a methodology for using LinkedIn? 🤔 As I suggest in my ⭐LinkedIn for me book📘 I recommend:
➡️Step one, Setup.
Back up your profile, and collect your statistics, change your settings, and complete your LinkedIn profile in full, even if it takes quite a bit of time, it’s absolutely worth it.
➡️Step two, Shine.
Engage. Make sure you are active on the platform. Curate and or create as well as collaborate. LinkedIn wants you to generate conversations.
➡️And step three, Surprise.
This is where you review what you’ve been doing, revise any of those strategies, and implement new features as LinkedIn is always coming out with new ideas.

3.3 Setup, Shine, Surprise Methodology
Once you are clear on your Values, Strengths and Context and have your own values-aligned decision-making framework and you have chosen the most relevant career or business for now or the near future, it is time to implement your own LinkedIn Strategy that supports your values, purpose, goals and objectives.
In many cultures and faiths, there is a belief around ‘ask and you will receive.’ However, it is very hard to receive if the ‘provider’ does not know what you want.
I have found that some clients, despite all of my strategies for clarifying their future direction, still feel stuck. This could be for many different reasons and despite the discomfort they feel, I encourage them to press on with completing their LinkedIn Profile.
You may be surprised by this suggestion. Surely you cannot head towards a destination without knowing how to get there?
I believe that we sometimes find the destination we are seeking after taking a few steps forward. If you are over the age of 16, you will have some experience, even if that is only in the area of education and training.
Your parents or caregivers gave you insights into their career or business. Your friends, family and fellow students have shared stories with you too.
If you decide to complete your LinkedIn Profile up to today’s date, you will be able to reflect on everything you have done up to this point. The items you enjoyed more or less. The people who were aligned or not aligned. The activities that matched your values and abilities. The enterprizes and individuals that inspired you. The locations that suit you best.
Here are the steps in my Setup, Shine, Surprise Methodology. This is simply a broad picture overview.
The Setup Steps are there to remind you of what everyone must do to gain value from LinkedIn.
The Shine Steps are there to ensure you stay focused on your values, purpose, goals and objectives.
The Surprise Steps are there to finesse your activity in a ‘courageous character’ way.
