I am always looking for more time in my 📅 calendar. And this year we were gifted one extra day - Leap 😬 Day! So what will you do with this extra day? Here are five ideas of things you can do today on LinkedIn. ✅ Surprise 🎉 someone! Send a LinkedIn recommendation to a person you admire. Go ahead and boast about them! ✅ Audit yourself. Take a look 🔎 at your LinkedIn profile and scan it as if you were your customer or prospect. This is a great exercise to do every often. If you want to supercharge this idea > Print your profile to PDF and pull out your pen. Then pick three updates to make and do those today. ✅ Secure 🗝 the Fort. Sign up for two-factor authentication and profile validation. Just do it today! ✅ Share your Expertise. Search relevant content and add your insightful comment to 5 unique posts. This gets you started on a valuable daily habit. Or better yet, make 10 valuable comments. ✅ Connect. Find an old school chum or previous coworker. Send a friendly note and reconnect with your LinkedIn invitation. Well geez, I could go on and on with this list. ✅ Which one will you pick OR add to this list for our extra Leap Day? What are you doing today? #linkedin #leapday #leapyear2024
So I am taking my own Leap Day advice today. I just wrote a "surprise recommendation" for Stuart Pink who is our chapter President for the New England National Speakers Association. Will you recommend someone today?
Thank you! You have taught me so much. A few weeks ago, I "validated" my LinkedIn profile. I will work on some of the other ideas.
Well, I'm all about the power of testimonials in every form. So, I gravitate to the idea of choosing someone to recommend without them asking. They are so valuable and I find most people struggle to get past the barrier of asking for one. Now I just have to select someone! Think I'll pick someone who is currently between opportunities.
Great post Sandra Long, yes we can all use more time, I totally agree and rally good suggestions. Ay chance we could all could follow the advice of the Beatles and have "eight days a week" :)
Love the list and what a great job you do tying everything back to your area of expertise. Awesome job Sandra Long!
You have such great ideas Sandra Long ! Now I need to pick one and do one!! Thank you
These are fantastic suggestions for leap day Sandra Long! I didn't realize you could send a surprise recommendation to someone - very helpful to know that.
What a fantastic way to make the most of Leap Day!
