“How to Improve Your LinkedIn Profile.” Make your profile (a lot) better in under an hour. We give special attention to the headline, profile, job descriptions and other elements. One of our more important events for coworkers, whether you run your own business or are an employee, because people do check you out on LinkedIn. As the Boy Scouts (used to) say: “Be prepared!”

“Write Your Thumbnail Bio.” Sometimes it’s good to have a very short bio of yourself. This might be for your website or to go with something you’ve written. How do you sum it all up? Expert help available!
