LinkedIn is a powerful tool for disseminating work outputs, enhancing impact, sharing education-related expertise and keeping up to date with your peers. However, for many of us, talking about our own successes might feel overwhelming and uncomfortable. In addition to this, many of us are not clear on what we want to be known for, while taking time to work on LinkedIn presence may feel like a real chore.
LinkedIn for Educators is a highly interactive, “hands-on” e-workshop that aims to help academic colleagues grow their network, establish their personal brand and extend impact of teaching and research using LinkedIn.
The e-workshop covers such topics as
- Why use LinkedIn;
- LinkedIn basics – the “how to’s”;
- Your personal brand and what you want to be known for;
- Your LinkedIn headline and content and;
- Mindset around personal brand, [self] promotion and visibility.
