Summer is here, Podsters! No one loves summer more than I do and as a follow up to last week’s episode, we're diving into how you can make the most of your summer- at work AND at home. Today we are talking about the “wait until I’m more focused” approach and how this will always lead you back to bring one of the herd.  We won’t do that around here at Unmute Yourself the Podcast so today I’ve brought in THE leading authority on LinkedIn and global branding expert – Miranda Von Fricken.  This Queen of Cool is walking us through three immediate and actionable steps you can take this summer so that you don’t wake up in September and say “oops, should have started sooner”. Miranda lives and breathes LinkedIn and today is not about giving you corporate tips and tricks- today is about showing YOU how you are showing up personally, in the professional world. Many people come to me in May, saying they want to work on their career or business but will wait until after summer. This makes Miranda and me twitch! So, I invited Miranda today to spill the tea on three things you can do to optimize your LinkedIn profile this summer and trust me, these tips are golden nuggets. Whether you’re looking to level up your career or turn your side hustle into a full-time job, now is the time to act. Here's why waiting is a bad idea: to stand out in a crowded market, you need to do what others aren’t doing. When people take breaks, like in the summer, you double down. You can still enjoy your summer while being intentional about your efforts on LinkedIn. As Miranda says, "If you're not on LinkedIn, what are you even doing?" Miranda also just released an incredible book called "Own Your Awesome on LinkedIn: There Are One Billion Members, But Only One You." For those who think LinkedIn is overrated, this book is for you. A few strategic actions can make a big difference in your networking efforts. So, Podsters, let’s not wait!  Start optimizing your LinkedIn profile now and get ahead of the game. Let’s make this summer count!
