Personal Branding & LinkedIn

Your resume tells people what you have done. Your personal brand tells them what to expect from you before you ever say a word, and on LinkedIn, that impression forms in seconds. This course builds that brand from the ground up, track by track. You start with the foundation: what a personal brand actually is, how to find your positioning and niche, define your target audience, and shape the story and values that make you memorable, including an honest audit of your current online presence. Next you turn that foundation into a LinkedIn profile that converts, covering the photo and banner that build instant trust, headline formulas that stop the scroll, an About section written as a story instead of a resume, the Featured section, an experience section that leads with results instead of duties, the right skills, and a clean custom URL. From there you learn to build authority through content: choosing content pillars, mastering post formats and hooks, telling stories that get read, and keeping a cadence that compounds instead of a burst that fades. You then focus on networking and engagement, sending connection requests people actually accept, writing DMs that never feel like spam, a commenting strategy that gets you noticed, finding the right communities, and the mindset of giving before you ask. Finally you learn to turn all of this into real opportunities: reading the recruiter signals that drive a modern job search, attracting inbound clients, using speaking and side projects to grow your reach, measuring what is actually working, and playing the long game that personal branding rewards.
