𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐈𝐧..... Yesterday, I posted about a new AI framework... and something incredible happened. It wasn’t an in-depth post just a brief mention. I thought it might catch some interest. But then, Godwin Josh dropped a technical question that completely changed the conversation. That one insightful comment sparked a discussion, leading to approaches I hadn’t fully considered before. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒆𝒅𝑰𝒏. LinkedIn isn’t just a place to share updates; it’s a platform for growth, collaboration, and fresh perspectives. Whether you’re in tech, managing projects, or representing a company, LinkedIn offers a unique space where even a single question can open up new ways of thinking. Here’s why LinkedIn is essential for professionals and companies alike: 1️⃣ 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Sometimes, a quick exchange or unexpected question reveals angles you hadn’t thought of, leading to new insights. 2️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: LinkedIn enables connections with experts, potential partners, and collaborators who can genuinely add value. 3️⃣ 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 & 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡: Active presence here attracts attention. For individuals, it opens career doors; for companies, it builds visibility and credibility. 4️⃣ 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Even brief updates can establish you as a knowledgeable voice and spark meaningful discussions. So, next time you post, stay open to engagement. Sometimes, the best insights come from a simple question. #LinkedInInsights #ProfessionalGrowth #LearningTogether #Innovation #datascience #artificalintelligence

I’m excited to be in Arizona this week for Talent Connect – LinkedIn’s biggest global gathering of talent professionals. Some new product announcements including their new AI Hiring Assistant and updates to their AI Powered Coaching Experience (more on that later.) But first, but a fun way to kick off the morning: LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky kicked off with a throwback of the LinkedIn homepage from +15 years ago! #TalentConnect #TalentConnect24

Ever attended an event that energises you and gets your head buzzing with different ideas? That happened to me yesterday. It was day 1 of the #BristolTechFestival and I went along to the #EngineShed for a session on “Building a Talent Strategy to Power the Future”. What got my mind whirling? Too much to mention if I'm honest but here’s a few snippets: - You can attract talented and engaged people if they get your purpose and what it is your business does. Have you taken time to think about and define that? - Who isn’t talking to you about job opportunities in your company? Are you missing out on great talent because your message isn't landing or you aren’t thinking creativity about where to find people? - Build the strategies but don’t forget to continue to live them. Keep telling people the important stuff. It might not be easy but take time to prove the impact your organisation is having. - AI is great for automating processes but don’t let it dumb down your persona, especially when applying for jobs. - Companies have to be proactive when it comes to bridging the skills gap. We all have to have a view. If not, we’ll get left behind. A great discussion and brilliant start to the week. Thank you to everyone involved..... defo food for thought! #businessgrowth #humancentricity #businesspartnering #employeeengagement

Career breaks and transitions should be seen as catalyst of growth. Many take this time to invest in themselves, to upskill, and to prioritise what work-life means for them, leading to profound personal growth. A huge thank you to the TalentX team Danielle and Marissa M. who ran a content-rich 3-hour workshop for Crunchmoms last week and Nathalie Spree who shared her experience and insights with all of us. Here are the main takeaways: 💡 Understand your why, and reflect on your motivations for returning to work to help bring clarity to your search 🎯 Identify the how, define your goals/ options you have and specify what you will need to do to grow and tap into your network 🔍 Discover and identify the strengths you’ve gained during your break. Confidence comes from knowing your story and believing in your worth, leverage on a community - the support goes a long way! #crunchmomsmena #returntowork #womenintransition

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲: LinkedIn's most viral content often features endless debates – work from home versus the office being the new gladiatorial arena. We all have that fight-or-flight instinct, and LinkedIn showcases the digital version perfectly. Debates go viral because they tap into our primal urge to pick a side and defend it fiercely.  But here's the catch: These online debates are a major time sink! Imagine if, instead of virtual tempura tantrums, we focused on data-driven decisions that truly benefit individuals and families. A big shout-out to Nick Bloom for his consistent, data-driven insights and his rare ability to debate constructively in a sea of finger-pointing. The answer isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a collaborative feast where everyone enjoys the bounty. Here's a recipe for a more fulfilling professional experience: 𝗗𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗻: Invest in yourself, learn new things daily, and build a strong network of inspiring people. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱: Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who share your passions and can help you reach your full potential. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Consider how quickly you could secure a new job if you lost your flexible one today. In today's market, senior leaders can face ultra-long searches. So, invest in yourself and prioritize continuous growth! Collaboration is our greatest strength as a civilization, not competition.

As I prepare for my first #NYTechWeek, I’ve come up with a few tips to help navigate these major social events and make the most out of your opportunities. Networking pros, please share the wisdom you’ve accumulated in the comments section! 📆 Game Planning: Get your eyes on scheduled events list as soon as it comes out! Identify the events you should attend based on topics that align with your interests and goals. 🎯 Goal-Setting: What are you looking to achieve? Want to meet potential clients or investors? Looking to increase the visibility and awareness of your company’s mission? Want to connect with industry influencers and learn about innovative market trends?   💬 Engage: Effective networking is oftentimes about building authentic relationships from scratch. Approach someone new and introduce yourself, ask questions, listen closely, and give thoughtful responses. And, be yourself.   🎙 Pitch Perfect: You know what it is… have that elevator pitch finely tuned and ready for its debut… over, and over again. ️ ☕ Reflect and follow-up: Initial engagement is just part of the relationship-building process. Check in with like-minded, mission-aligned folks you connected with. Set up a call, grab lunch, chat over coffee, and continue creating opportunities for you to understand one another's goals. Events can be long and may require rest so practice self-care and recharge your social battery as often as you need to. If you’re a social butterfly, hit a happy hour with your new industry friends.

🌐 Balancing Digital Connectivity with Human Interaction 🌐 We’re in a thrilling era of digital transformation, especially with AI reshaping how we work and connect. Platforms like LinkedIn have become invaluable for networking, learning, and sharing achievements. However, as powerful as our digital connections are, they’re just one side of the equation. I’ve seen firsthand the value of direct, one-on-one conversations. While digital engagement can introduce us to new ideas and opportunities, personal interactions often lead to deeper understanding, shared learning, and stronger partnerships. A person’s presence, tone, and insight can make a meaningful impact that no post or message can fully capture. It’s a reminder for us all: while staying active and visible online is key, making time for genuine conversations elevates our professional relationships and enriches our perspectives. 💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts! How do you find the balance between digital engagement and personal interaction? Especially interested in insights from HR and talent management professionals on this! #DigitalTransformation #HumanConnection #AIEra #ProfessionalNetworking #LinkedInInsights #GrowthMindset

🚀 Wow, what an electrifying day at #HandshakeAccess! 🌟 I'm buzzing with excitement after making countless connections and diving into some unexpected, but fantastic conversations! 🎉 Calling out to all my new Handshake pals: How was the conference for you? What was your biggest takeaway? 🤝 Drop me a line about what you do, where you're from, and how I lend a hand. Let's ignite our networks and make magic happen! 🔥 #TalkToEachother I had two key takeaways stand out: a deeper understanding of communicating with Gen Z. It's clear that this generation values authenticity, inclusivity, and genuine connections. From learning about their preferred communication channels to understanding their unique perspectives, I've realized the importance of adapting our approach to meet their needs. Additionally, exploring AI abilities solidified my belief in the potential for innovation in talent acquisition. Embracing AI technologies allows us to streamline processes, enhance candidate experiences, and make data-driven decisions. I'm excited that my company, Staffmark integrates these insights into our strategies, ensuring we stay ahead in attracting top talent while embracing the future of recruitment! 🚀 Not the biggest fan of how my picture turned out 🤷♀️ but I had fun decorating it with stickers! #hello #creativity #nerdlife #NetworkingNinja #ConnectAndThrive #GenZEngagement #AIInnovation #HandshakeAccess
