Sarah is a leadership consultant who had been on LinkedIn for eight years. Her profile still listed her as a senior manager at a company she'd left years ago. Her about section read like a job application. She had under 500 connections, most of whom she barely knew.
After joining the LinkedIn Accelerator:
That is what consistent, strategic LinkedIn activity looks like in practice.
Go to your LinkedIn profile right now — not tomorrow — and look at your headline. Does it tell someone in five seconds exactly what you do and who you help? If the answer is no, change it today. That one update is your starting point. Everything else follows from there.

Let's Talk LinkedIn with Louise - Time to Get Started

[:Okay, you are ready now let's do this. This is
talk LinkedIn. This is Let's Talk LinkedIn with Louise Brogan and this is our final episode together. I want to start by saying if you have not yet listened to all five episodes previously, then go and check them out because they all work in tandem together, which is how I work with LinkedIn. You know, you've got to have all your core pieces together.
eed moves the needle forward [:Maybe you got, maybe your doorbell rang, maybe you got distracted, and you have LinkedIn sitting open as a tab on your desktop. But you still haven't posted anything on it, and that's what I want to do this week is two things. I want to get you to take action and I want to tell you about someone who's exactly where you are right now.
Secondly, I want to show you what your LinkedIn could look like in 12 weeks from now if you decide to do something about it. So let me talk to you about Sarah.
Sarah came to me having had her LinkedIn profile for about eight years. Um, she's a leadership consultant. She is brilliant at what she does, genuinely respected in her field. Gets invited to speak at events, but her LinkedIn profile was still saying that she's a senior manager at a company that she hasn't worked at in five or six years.
et points. It read more like [:Didn't even know why she was connected to them. When I asked her why she hadn't updated her profile, she said something I hear all the time, I just dunno what to say about myself. I don't want to sound like I'm showing off. Um, what would people think about me? Also, I don't have time. So Sarah joined our group accelerator program and in weeks one and two, we completely rewrite your LinkedIn profile.
So if you do nothing else, you have your optimized profile, which helps you to get found. And when people connect with you, they connect with you as a human. Her headline changed to something that told her ideal clients what she can actually do for them. And her about section stopped being a list of her achievements, um, and started becoming something about when the reader read it.
was the right person to help [:Then we looked at building out her content and what does the content plan look like? Then we actually turned the content, created the content together. Uh, last night I had a session with my current cohort and we created carousel posts using Notebook lm. So we also touch on AI tools to help make this all easier and quicker for you.
as interesting was she said, [:And when I pointed out to her. That if you write something that helps people with leadership issues and questions and other leadership coaches start engaging with your content, what happens is their networks are full of potential clients for you and they're literally bringing their audience to you. As a result, you are now seen as the leader on stage talking, and everybody else is in the audience listening and engaging and talking about what you are talking about now.
Doesn't that sound good?
The goal then is to get those people who are commenting and looking at your stuff onto a phone call or a Zoom call, and how does that work? Your LinkedIn profile is your foundation. It's the thing that's working for you when you're walking your dog, uh, making lasagna or three bean chilies that I'll be doing today, sitting in a car park waiting for your kids' sports to end.
or find you through ai, they [:You know how to build a network of value, not hundreds of random connections with the right people, potential clients, potential collaborators, strategic partners, industry peers. People who will talk about you when you are not in the room. You know now how to get over the fear of posting, be of service to your audience.
The silent majority are watching, and one your next client is one of those people who has just read your post and hasn't actually commented on it because they also haven't done migrant program. You know, the FAQ format, the content, how we build out the content, having your key topics, your subtopics, questions people ask you, create your content, and I've talked to you about the Koch method.
Create once [:They are the people who implement consistently with a little bit of accountability and someone who will look at their posts and make just minor tweaks that make a huge difference. Um. That is what the accelerator is for. It is a program, 10 people maximum, and we do this together. We rewrite your profile, we build out your content plan.
We look at your network. I review and revise posts for you if you want, and we go through the whole COPE method and actually set it up. I give you feedback live on your post. We start each call with questions from the audience, and there's only 10 of you, so you're all kind of working in the same space.
[:Go to louise brogan.com/accelerator and have a look at the next start date. I cannot wait to help you make LinkedIn work for you. Even if you don't join my grip, please go to your LinkedIn profile right now, not tomorrow. Maybe I have to finish this dog walk and just look at your headline. Does it tell someone in five seconds what you do, who you help?
in. My name is Louise Brogan [: [:
