And yes, stalking in a good way 🤣 Her name?Brenda Blanche I found myself reading every one of her posts. Her content? Magnetic. You have to stop and read. One day, I slid into her DMs and asked: "How do you avoid repeating your posts on LinkedIn?" Her answer blew me away: "I repeat my words unapologetically. Over and over. It’s my strategy, and it works wonders. I am not scared to repeat myself on LinkedIn just do it in different ways" That hit me hard. Sometimes, we overcomplicate LinkedIn. Trying to be fresh every single day. But Brenda showed me that it’s not about being new—it’s about being consistent. Here’s what I learned from her: 📍 Find your signature message. What do you want to be known for? 📍 Repeat it often. Don’t shy away from saying it in different ways. 📍 Be unapologetic. Consistency builds recognition—don’t fear being repetitive. 📍 Do what works for YOU. It’s your voice; own it! Brenda’s secret? Simple, consistent, and authentic messaging. P.S. She’s hosting a 1:1 coaching session, and a few slots are still open. Want to make 2025 your LinkedIn breakthrough year? Secure your spot now. P.S.S. What works for you on LinkedIn?

Why Posting on LinkedIn Feels Terrifying (But Doesn’t Have to Be) 📌 Let’s be honest: The thought of posting on LinkedIn makes most people freeze. - What if no one reacts? - What if I say the wrong thing? - What if people think I’m trying too hard? Sound familiar? You’re not alone. But here’s the reality: The things you’re afraid of? They’re either not as bad as you think—or they don’t matter. . Here’s what actually happens when you post on LinkedIn consistently for 30 days: 1. Your first posts will get little engagement. That's normal. → This isn’t a popularity contest. → It’s about showing up, learning, and building confidence. 2. Your content won’t be perfect. → And that’s okay! People connect with real, human stories—not polished perfection. 3. You’ll second-guess yourself. → Doubts will creep in, but every post you share is can help you with clarity and confidence. 4. Some people might disagree with you. → It’s not the end of the world if they do. Disagreements are opportunities for thoughtful conversations. 5. You’ll feel like no one’s paying attention. → That’s how it starts. But consistency builds trust, and trust builds an audience. 6. You might not see results right away. → LinkedIn is a long game. It’s about building visibility and credibility over time. 7. You’ll realise how much fear has held you back. → Posting will teach you this: You’re capable of much more than you thought. . The truth is, the hardest part isn’t crafting the perfect post. It’s hitting “Share” for the first time—and committing to keep going. . So here’s your reminder: Your first post doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be posted. If you’ve been overthinking it, this is your little nudge to start.

If Your LinkedIn Posts Aren’t Working, Overthinking Is the Problem. You spend half the day trying to write the perfect post. → You question if your hook is strong enough. → You stare at a blank screen, typing and deleting. → You tweak every word, worrying over commas like your life depends on it. Finally, you hit publish. And you wait. And wait. 5 likes. 1 comment. Not a single DM. You shut your laptop, wondering: “Why am I even trying?” Here’s the truth: It’s not that your content isn’t good. It’s that you’re overthinking every post. Here’s the thing: → If you’re too scared to show your personality, no one will connect with your content. → If you’re too afraid to take a stand, your posts will blend into the noise. → If you’re obsessing over likes, you’ll never post what actually matters. One post won’t change your life, but stopping will. Even the “5-like” posts matter. → They build trust. → They create momentum. → They prepare your audience to say “yes” when they’re ready. The only way to fail? Stop showing up. If you’re tired of overthinking and want content that actually connects, I’m here to help. I work with executive coaches to create simple, authentic posts that attract clients without the hours of second-guessing. DM me “Growth” and let’s bring your LinkedIn to life. P.S. If you could learn one new skill this year, what would it be?

You are smarter than your LinkedIn posts. Which means…there are ways that you can up your value to others on LinkedIn. Here are seven:  1. Take inventory – review what your typical comments are on others’ LinkedIn posts. Be mindful of how you think you might come across on LinkedIn, and how you’re benefiting your colleagues on LinkedIn. 2. Limit yourself to one exclamation point per posting (maybe per month)! (Okay, that was mine.) While exclamation points can show enthusiasm, they can also be the equivalent of ALL CAPS, too many emojis, or just plain trying too hard. Challenge yourself to eliminate exclamation points from your vocabulary, and instead, use words, stories, or images to make your point for you. (See what I did there?) 3. Instead of saying “Great job,” or “We’re so pleased that Quinn joined our team,” specify why it was a great job, or share with us something amazing about Quinn, like the time when Quinn single-handedly deescalated a feud between two warring nations, or how Quinn’s grit in hiking the Long Trail in only three months will strengthen your team. 4. In your posts and comments, describe or bullet-point actionable ideas of how to be a better leader, engineer, or organic red carrot farmer (I’m pretty sure those are the only three categories that people care about). 5. Set a reminder in your calendar to post on LinkedIn once a quarter, month, week, or whatever frequency you want. 6.  Instead of just “liking” posts, add comments. There's nothing wrong with just liking a post, but adding a comment not only raises the visibility of your contacts’ posts (doing them a service), but it also elevates your own visibility…which is especially good now that you’re making comments worth reading. 7. And if you’re reading a particularly great post, comment on one thing that resonated with you, added sparkle to your day, helped you reconsider something, or made you say, “Hmm.” (I totally wanted to add an exclamation mark there, but I controlled my urge.) #personalbrand #executivepresence (And a special thanks to Sara Munro for her tutelage on all things #socialmedia.)

Luck vs Consistency: A Year of LinkedIn Posting 📊 From the start of this year, I've been sharing my thoughts, learnings, and ideas on LinkedIn. I recently took a step back to analyze the impressions of my posts over time, and one thing became clear: Luck might spark a moment, but consistency builds the foundation. When I looked at the impressions of my LinkedIn posts over 12 months, a pattern emerged. There were a few standout spikes — posts that seemingly went "viral" and captured a wider audience. At first glance, it might seem like these lucky moments drove my engagement. But here's the truth: most of the impressions came from consistent, weekly posting. Those spikes were outliers, unpredictable, and rare. It’s the steady rhythm of showing up every week, refining my content, and engaging with my audience that makes the real difference. Why Consistency Beats Luck in the Long Run 💪 1. Compounding Effect: Each post builds on the momentum of the previous one. Regular posting keeps your audience engaged and aware. 2. Skill Development: Over time, consistency improves your ability to craft impactful posts, identify what resonates, and communicate effectively. 3. Trust and Reliability: People notice when you consistently show up. It establishes credibility and builds connections. The Role of Luck🤞 Luck is like a bonus — it can amplify your reach, but it’s not something you can rely on. When one of my posts spiked in impressions, it felt great! But without a consistent strategy, those spikes would have been brief moments rather than part of a growing trend. What I’ve Learned 🤔 1. Post with purpose, not for the algorithm. Focus on adding value to your audience. 2. Don’t chase virality — it’s not predictable or sustainable. 3. Celebrate the small wins: Every comment, like, and share is part of the bigger picture. Consistency doesn’t just apply to LinkedIn; it’s a principle for life. Whether you’re building a career, developing a skill, or nurturing relationships, showing up regularly is what truly drives success. #SundayBlog #KeepPosting #Consistency #LinkedInJourney

Me in 2023: Commenting daily on LinkedIn is SO HECTIC. Me in 2024: 👇 What changed? My approach towards it. Here's a breakdown of my current commenting strategy: Everyday, I comment for 15 minutes. With a minimum of 4 times per day. That's 1 hour per day. 7 hours per week. (Note: This is an average effort I put in, daily) If you follow this simple strategy while you work: – You will spend just 1 hour per day. – Not at a stretch, but in 4 slots. What's the best part about this? This won't even clash with your work. 1. You can comment for 15 minutes while traveling. 2. You can comment for 15 minutes after your lunch. 3. You can comment for 15 minutes after you reach home. 4. You can comment for 15 minutes after your dinner. See, it's not that difficult, is it? Remember, engaging on LinkedIn is never just about how many accounts you comment under daily. (It never was, and never will be) It's about giving value in each comment. However YOU wish to give it. So today, make a small promise to yourself ↓ Comment for at least ONE hour, daily. (with the same strategy I've shown you) And watch how opportunities start knocking on your door. Trust me, the list is endless. P.S. How much time do you spend to engage daily on LinkedIn? #linkedingrowth #comments #engaging #strategy

🚨 Struggling to get responses on LinkedIn? Let’s crack the code! 🕵️♂️ Here’s the truth: If your posts aren’t getting engagement, it’s not because LinkedIn is broken. It might just be how you’re showing up! 🚀 Here are a few reasons people might be scrolling past: Your posts lack personality 🤖 → People connect with humans, not robots! Add a story, an emoji, or even a funny moment. Too much self-promotion 🛑 → If every post is about “Look at me,” people will eventually look away. Share value instead! No call-to-action 🗣️ → Are you asking questions or encouraging discussions? Silence is loud when you don’t invite others to join in. How to turn it around: ✅ Be relatable. Share your journey, struggles, or a little humor. People want to see you, not just your achievements. ✅ Provide value. Teach something new, share insights, or drop a golden nugget of advice. 🌟 ✅ Engage back. Respond to comments, interact with others’ posts, and be present. It’s called social media for a reason! 🧑🤝🧑 💡 Pro tip: Timing matters! Post when your audience is most active. Experiment with mornings, evenings, or lunch breaks. ⏰ So, here’s my question for you: What’s the ONE thing you do to keep your LinkedIn posts buzzing with activity?

LinkedIn Myths You Need to Let Go Of Right Now Let's get something straight: LinkedIn isn't about trying to fit into a mold. If you’re obsessing over strategies like "perfect timing," "always commenting," or "posting every day," it's time to rethink the game. Here's the truth: 🔸 "Timing is everything." No, it's not. LinkedIn isn't some magic hour — post when it works for YOU. Your message will find its audience, regardless of the clock. Consistency beats perfection. 🔸 "Engagement means commenting on everything." Genuine engagement matters, not how much you comment. Build relationships with meaningful interactions, not just to stay visible. 🔸 "You need to post daily." Forget the pressure. Less is more. Posting 2-3 times a week with insightful content will do more for your presence than spam posting every day. Quality always wins. 🔸 "Weekends are for taking a break from LinkedIn." Nope, you don’t have to rush weekend posts. Use your downtime to reflect, plan content, or just relax. Coming back with something impactful on Monday is all you need. What actually works: ✔️ Authenticity over forced strategies ✔️ Value-packed content that solves real problems ✔️ Consistent, not constant, presence ✔️ Building relationships, not just gaining followers Take the pressure off. Create a space where you can show up as your best self and add value without trying to please algorithms. After all, LinkedIn is about connection, not comparison.

Most people quit LinkedIn not because they can't write, but because: They can't engage. Being active on LinkedIn is not about posting content regularly. It's about showing up for others: reacting, commenting, responding, and building meaningful connections. And that is exactly what people find overwhelming. If you’re one of those people, hear me out. You’re overwhelmed because you are thinking of it as a burden rather than an opportunity.   Here’s how to shift that mindset: ↳ 𝐒𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞: Engagement can be a moment to pause, connect, and explore ideas, not another item on your to-do list. ↳ 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Your comments don’t need to be groundbreaking. Even a simple “I agree with this because…” or “This made me think of…” works wonders. ↳ 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞: You don’t have to engage with every post you see. Pick a few that you genuinely find interesting and share your thoughts. ↳ 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Every comment or reaction doesn’t need to lead to immediate results. Building connections takes time. ↳ 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬: Did you respond to one post today? Great! That’s a step forward. Progress isn’t about quantity; it’s about consistency. When you stop treating engagement as an obligation and start seeing it as a chance to grow and connect, it becomes so much easier. And a lot more enjoyable!   P.S. Start today.
