How to Improve Your LinkedIn Profile

You have a LinkedIn profile: Now what?

You created a profile on LinkedIn, so you probably think your skills and experience speak for themselves.

Here’s the thing – they don’t!

I was very pleased to be asked to speak at the Eurofinance International Treasury & Cash Management Conference about Social Media and in particular about how to improve your LinkedIn profile.

My session covered how to take your profile to the next level and provided key tips and takeaways on how to stay ahead in the battle of the ‘personal brands’.
