JANUARY 2021 NEWSLETTER
Hello Friends,

It's a New Year and we'd like to wish each of you the best year, ever!

Many of us relish the idea of listing resolutions and goals. My own 'word for the year' is ACTION. Because it's not enough to make a list of things you'd like to accomplish - you must take action to make the changes needed to meet those goals. One of my own favorite posts from December:

I'm ready...
* for 2021
* to improve
* to express more kindness
* to show more patience
* to listen more
* to judge less
* to be more grateful
* to be more thankful
* to find peace
* to learn more
* to complain less
* to volunteer more
* to embrace the good
* to ignore the bad

We are ready... and hope you are, too. Thank you all for helping one another to get through 2020, a most challenging year. Time to act, evolve, and win!

With much gratitude ~

Debbie

January LinkedIn Tips
TIP 1 - Are you using the 'Name Pronunciation' feature? One of the best improvements, ever! Using the mobile app > visit your profile > tap the pencil icon by your headshot to edit > look for Name Pronunciation. Practice recording a 10-sec message as much as you'd like! Meant to offer the preferred pronunciation of your name, which only takes a second or two, use the remaining time for a marketing message. Once saved, the speaker icon and your recording will display on all devices. Brilliant! Check the way I'm using it here! on!!

TIP 2 - If you're a business owner and you are still displaying the default LinkedIn Banner behind your headshot... shame on you! :) This is the perfect area to display a 'standing ad' for your business. Include a CTA (call to action) to make it easy for Viewers to contact you. Let us know if you need help with this. Those members who are not business owners are encouraged to upload an image of their liking... consider your geographic area - ocean sunsets or sunrises, mountainous landscapes, etc. Any image is better than the default and will immediately add interest to your profile!

TIP 3 - Professional Development Make it a point to re-evaluate the efforts you are making (or not,) to improve your skills. Networking? Dozens of opportunities exist - check Meetup and use your zip/postal code to find local groups And, of course, register for our free webinar on 1/27! See below. :)
