Personal Branding & LinkedIn
BeginnerYour resume tells people what you have done. Your personal brand tells them what to expect from you before you ever say a word — and on LinkedIn, that impression forms in seconds. This course builds that brand from the ground up, track by track. You start with the foundation: what a personal brand actually is, how to find your positioning and niche, define your target audience, and shape the story and values that make you memorable — including an honest audit of your current online presence. Next you turn that foundation into a LinkedIn profile that converts, covering the photo and banner that build instant trust, headline formulas that stop the scroll, an About section written as a story instead of a resume, the Featured section, an experience section that leads with results instead of duties, the right skills, and a clean custom URL. From there you learn to build authority through content: choosing content pillars, mastering post formats and hooks, telling stories that get read, and keeping a cadence that compounds instead of a burst that fades. You then focus on networking and engagement — sending connection requests people actually accept, writing DMs that never feel like spam, a commenting strategy that gets you noticed, finding the right communities, and the mindset of giving before you ask. Finally you learn to turn all of this into real opportunities: reading the recruiter signals that drive a modern job search, attracting inbound clients, using speaking and side projects to grow your reach, measuring what is actually working, and playing the long game that personal branding rewards.
