Link∙Ability – Four Powerful Strategies to Maximize Your LinkedIn Success
Edition 2 – coming soon
Use LinkedIn® to build your credibility, make your expertise discoverable and create opportunities that support your professional and business goals.
You know LinkedIn could play a bigger part in your professional life. But having a profile and knowing what to do with it are different things.
Perhaps your profile still reads like a CV. Perhaps you publish occasionally but aren’t sure what it achieves. Or you want people to understand your expertise and what sets you apart – including when they look for answers and recommendations through AI.
Link∙Ability gives you a practical approach to moving forward. It explains how connecting, publishing, engaging and direct messaging work together to build a professional presence and relationships that support your goals.
Who is Edition 2 for?
This book is for mid-career and senior professionals who already have a LinkedIn presence and want to use it more purposefully.
Whether you are a consultant, coach, accountant, lawyer, manager or another experienced professional, the challenge is similar: communicating your value and creating the conditions for the right opportunities.
You might be looking for clients, a new role, career progression or stronger professional relationships. Link∙Ability gives you a clearer understanding of how to use the platform in support of those ambitions.

The same four powerful strategies, reconsidered for a changed LinkedIn

Content creation remains important, with a more balanced emphasis on the different ways to build credibility, relationships and professional opportunities. A new company pages chapter adds a bonus strategy for developing an organisational presence.
Fewer screenshots and images also make this edition easier to read on e-readers, with less reliance on pictures of changing platform features.
