Phyllis Reardon M.Ed
Life Coach

Much of the Life Coaching I do involves or includes Career Coaching. Many times my clients want to change careers, advance within their existing company or are first timers to the world of work. As I am a big advocate of networking, connecting with other people, I recommend to my clients that they sign up to LinkedIn and get connected.

The LinkedIn Profile

If you could walk into a huge conference centre and pass out a business card to unlimited number of contacts…..how great would that be?

Well, your LinkedIn profile can be your showcase for the world and in a global economy you need world exposure. By developing a LinkedIn profile you expose yourself to 90 million people each and every day!

The following are among the Life Coaching Activities I give my clients on building their LinkedIn Profile. Please use and share with friends.
