PRACTICAL POD | Roger Christie | 5 helpful tips for every leader on LinkedIn

Season 4

In this practical follow-up episode of the Your Digital Reputation podcast, host Roger Christie reflects on the key ideas discussed with recent guest John McCoy, Senior Account Director for Federal Government at LinkedIn. The conversation focused on how public sector leaders can use LinkedIn to their advantage. It's episode number 36 in the YDR catalog, so please go back and have a listen, ideally before you dive into this short practical reflection.


BUT please don't let John's title or the apparent focus on the public sector put you off if you work in a different sector. The guidance and data John shared has as much application to public sector leaders as it does for ALL leaders in corporate or NGO roles too. Every leader can benefit from just simple, valuable, straight shooting LinkedIn advice. So tune into this episode for Roger's five top tips - helpful hacks for LinkedIn - that every leader should put in place. It's one we are confident you'll return back to again and again.
