21 Thank yous to Amazing and Fabulous people that have helped me uplevel my Linkedin game in 2021

So this is it... the final of the Weekly #SaturdayServing Linkedin Articles... and I'm so grateful to bring this amazing series to a 'change'...

104 Articles, every weekend for 2 years is no joke... it has been the making and adulting of me, and I'm really proud of the body of work I've produced, and the impact that it's created for my network and in my business... I am grateful.

And so in the spirit of gratitude and to celebrate all that Linkedin has supported me to achieve this year... I will be sharing 21 thank you's to people, groups and spaces that have changed my Lil Linkedin world...

There are so many people that I'm grateful for - but these stand out so powerful for me in terms of their game-changing support, example and inspiration...

So in alphabetical order - I would like to shout out and say thank you to:

1.   Abi Adamson & Madison Butler – You ladies did NOT come to play!! The truth to power that you speak never gets old – thank you so much for the boldness and clarity of your voice. Madison, your incredible work on compiling Black speakers has just been incredible and a powerful reminder to 'be the change' - thank you for all you do!

2.   Ash Rathod – A great guy, and Linkedin juggernaut, who has amassed over 10m views this year😲. But watching his consistency and use of story essentials has remained an incredible and empowering journey to follow and I’m inspired by the powerful use of his voice!

3.   Amantha King – an incredible coach, connector and lovely human, I’ve been so grateful to be in spaces that Amantha has curated, and her warmth and generosity makes things better for everyone around her.

4.   Chinedu Junior Ihekwoaba - our resident 'Writerpreneur' – so generous in spirit and in practice – it’s been such a brilliant opportunity to get to know him better over the year, and I’m so very glad that I did

5.   David McQueen & Madeline McQueen – this incredible Forbes and Palmers Featured power couple both of whom I got to see and speak to far less than I would have liked this year - but who absolutely continued to inspire me from afar with their posts, content and the impact they are working on creating in the world. Kudos McQueens - you are both incredible!

6.   Derrick Mildred – who gave of his time so freely to help me rethink and upgrade my Linkedin profile (I’m still working on what he gave to me) but is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful on all things Linkedin

7.   Diana Osagie – one of the best humans I know – who has given me the opportunity and ongoing support in my business and gave me the chance to do the same with hers. I remain so grateful to see you bring your passion to life through the Academy of Women’s Leadership… I love the passion and authenticity that exudes from every post… thank you so much for reminding me to do the same.

8.   The Introverted Sisters – Sharon Hurley Hall and Lisa Hurley – who have stood fearlessly in the face of challenge and frustration – and have spoken truth to power in so many incredible ways.

The fact that you’re also introverts is such a bonus for me, as it reminds me that it’s a superpower, not a limit. Thank you ladies - you are truly inspiring

9.   John Espirian – A relentlessly helpful content master. Who continues to put out some of the best information on Linkedin and does so in a way that is helpful and approachable – I was also a competition winner this year – and it totally made my day! He’s definitely a go-to when it comes to finding Linkedin information.

10. Kimberly John-Morgan… the saltiest Linkediner in my feed, who's seasoning I refuse to do without, and who gives me life with every post and who continues to speak that truth to power – you are amazing

11. Lauren Jones – Founder of the amazing ‘Girls that get Sh*t done’ space that creates a fabulous networking space for creative and supportive women alike – it’s brilliant

12. Lea Turner & Mildred Talabi – for amazing content prompts that got me thinking and moving forward in all aspects of my Linkedin journey, and for showing up consistently with thought-provoking and inspiring posts on how to up my LinkedIn game... I see your content pretty rarely - and yet am always grateful when I do

13. Larry Kaul – an amazing guy, that has helped me keep up my networking quotient and meet some of the most fabulous people on the platform – thank you for being awesome!

14. Nadege Minois – who has a hyper-engager on my content and is always so incredibly supportive BUT was ALSO the very first person to sign up to my very first Boostcamp – a venture that will build and grow into incredible things, all because Nadege was supportive enough to sign up in the first instance – thank you amazing lady – having you on my side is a thing of beauty. Additional Support shout outs go out to Cyril Husbands & Sope Agbelusi, who always support and bring a new perspective - so grateful to you both.

15. Pat Miller – the incredible Idea Coach who has cheered for me, encouraged me and gave me the incredible opportunity to share the stage with the remarkable Mel Robbins – He’s an amazing human and I’m so grateful to have him in my network and to be a part of his.

16. Renee Lindo – The most stylish woman in my network! Who’s content I see way less than I want, but who always makes me smile when I do!

17. Richard Moore – who has totally changed my trajectory on this platform and transformed my sales conversion on Linkedin. Learning from you was the best investment even before I invested, but your generosity and support have truly supercharged my results for me – and I definitely owe you a drink for encouraging me to create the Masterclass Masterclass – it’s been such a game-changer. Thank you so much for all that you do!

18. Stella Da Silva – who is just about my favourite Linkedin person that I’m yet to meet in person, but who inspires and excites me in so many ways and is just a huge reason why Linkedin has been so amazing to me!

19. Vicky Quinn Fraser , my 'sister from another mister', the Queen of Moxie Books and general angel who has supported me more than anyone else on God’s-green earth again this year. The most exquisite friend, head of team moxie and the person who helped me to believe my writing was worth an even bigger, broader audience. Thanks for being you amazing lady. Not only for supporting my LinkedIn Game but for supporting me in all things – you are just the best!!

20. My amazing Calla Family – amazing women who joined the family and boldly agreed to work to build their businesses, no matter the fear or the setback – and continue to do incredible Exploits… So, to those active on this platform this year Stacy Casson, Helen Joy, Ekua Cant, Dannique Blake, Sarah McGuire, Sarah Bayoh, Vickie Kelty and so many more – I thank you – truly for making this a reality, rather than just an idea for me.

21. And YOU... YES, YOU!! .... My final thank you goes out to each and every one of the 11,143 of you (at the time of writing this post) that have chosen to connect and or follow me. It still blows my mind to even write that - and I can't believe how much I have been given by this platform... But I'm grateful all the same. Thank you for asking, for caring, and for enquiring....about things that I can actually do to support women to own their magnificence, win in business and thrive in life. Thank you for reading, commenting, sliding into my DMs becoming my clients, putting faith in me and my crazy, but hella-effective methods for your businesses incredible ladies. 2022 sees the chance to do some incredible things together, so be sure to reach out if you are about building a thriving and profitable business while living a full fab and nourishing life.

Oh, and I have a special bonus thank you...

Thank you for keeping 'us' for us... and for your unfailing support - I'm grateful for you every single day.
