JULY 2026 DWCS NEWSLETTER

Hello, Friends ~


What a month of celebration! The U.S. is celebrating 250 years since the Signing of the Declaration of Independence. This was certainly a historic Fourth of July. It was extraordinary to see such unity across our country, buoyed by the World Cup teams visiting for their games. How very special, indeed! Many of us are now holding our breath as the games come to an end over the next week. We love the camaraderie our foreign visitors continue to create in all the host cities. May the best team win!


CELEBRATE! To join in the celebration, we are doing something 'historic', too. From now through the end of August, we are slashing the cost of our standard two-hour initial LinkedIn Coaching session. Don't delay: you'll save $250 off our normal fee. Contact us now and type 'More info' in the subject line. Also, something special for those in transition. A very special 'thank you' to our 900+ clients who have supported our growth over the past 15 years. We appreciate every one of you.


We are not slowing down for summer - be sure to check our calendar below for great opportunities to - what else? - network!


Wishing everyone a happy and safe summer!

LinkedIn Tips and More


TIP 1 - INCREASE YOUR AI VISIBILITY

The latest advice from LinkedIn regarding AI visibility suggests:

  • Start each post with a keyword-rich opening line
  • Try providing a clear question & direct answer so AI systems can easily extract and cite it
  • Educate your network with 200-300 words; far more impactful than any promotion
  • Publish consistently at least 2-3x weekly
  • NEW: Engagement in the first 24 hrs (formerly believed to be within 1st hr) will influence the post distribution
  • Be thoughtful with your comments on posts: adding value to the conversation will always be favored by the LI algorithm and AI


TIP 2 - LINKEDIN WANTS YOU TO CONTACT THE RECRUITER

This is a tip we've always advocated to our clients in transition, and now LI is making it even easier to do. You may see this “Stand out by sending a personal message to the recruiter at…” populated after you view a job. Don't be bashful! Put some thought into your brief message to add value to your application.


TIP 3 - NEED SOME POST CONTENT?

It's ok to post about upcoming events you plan to attend - especially when they are relevant to your work, company, or goals. Use the guidance from Tip 1 and check your calendar. You likely have some ready-made posts.


TIP 4 - NETWORK LIKE A PRO

If the idea of networking makes your hands sweaty or your heart race, order my new book, 'Networking from the Ground Up', from Amazon. Professionals of any age will find impactful tips within. This is a wonderful addition to your summer reading!


"This book strikes the perfect balance between personal stories and practical

lessons, making it both an engaging read and a helpful guide." GW
