Here Is A Unique Way To Spice Up Your LinkedIn Current Profile.

Is your LinkedIn Current Profile stagnant with the same information ( other than the updates you share everyday )?

Spice it up with the various items that add to your professional experience.

As an example, you could add in new CE courses that you have attended or the new designations that you have completed on.

During a meeting I had with my VA last week; she commented on how my use of my LinkedIn Current Profile is unique.

Your followers will benefit as they will receive an update about your Profile.

I use my Current Profile section as a place to highlight my financial advisor speaking events.

Note that if you add in the kind of updates that I am talking about, make sure you uncheck the “update my headline to” box because your LinkedIn Professional Headlines will change from your main tag line to read like this example “Speaker in April 2011 at Advocis Winnipeg” while you might want it to read something like; Financial Advisor / Investment Advisor Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Writer. You can see where we have made this error right after my name in the above example where we have changed it back in the example at the very bottom of this blog.

When I’ve completed my financial advisor speaking event, then I uncheck the “I currently work here” box and fill in the completed / end speaking date and the financial advisor speaking event is moved to the Past section on my Profile.

Speaking is a large part of what I do and with each financial advisor speaking engagement I do it adds to my current professional experience.

Again, my LinkedIn Professional Headlines reads; Financial Advisor / Investment Advisor Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Writer.

With coaching, speaking, training and writing in mind, we have taken our LinkedIn Profile Current update strategy one step further by adding in; “Made the Top 5 and the #2 Spot at Advisor.ca Name That Visionary Contest” which is now incorporating writing into our Current section of our LinkedIn Profile.
