Need to up your LinkedIn game
My profile reviews and 1-to-1 LinkedIn consultations are ideal if you’re short on time and need direct support to improve your LinkedIn presence.
Wow!
Wow! I followed John’s online LinkedIn course and I loved it.
It is packed full of really useful hints and tips and it’s done in a really down to earth way.
Great advice from a seasoned professional. Thanks very much John.
I highly recommend the course and I’m off to get the book now!

John is a LinkedIn legend.
In his own words, John is a LinkedIn nerd but in my own words, John is a LinkedIn legend.
John has shared his top tips (and some things to avoid) on how to use the platform effectively. Many of the tips could be applied to other channels, such as the importance of adding personality and John shows that excellently with the tone of the videos.
If you don’t understand LinkedIn, you need to hear John’s wise words. You won’t be disappointed!
