Leveraging LinkedIn for Effective Projects
Posted by stylock on 03 Jul 2009 | Tagged as: Connections, Endorsements, Etiquette, Groups, Introductions, Profiles, Teleseminars, Ways to Use LinkedIn
I’m really excited about creating this program – The Project Solvers and I have developed a workshop on Thursday July 16th for project teams and managers.
Besides the usual questions about how to use LinkedIn, we’ll show participants a tools set that will allow you to run projects effectively through LinkedIn and a few of the additional applications tied into the service.
How can project members communicate across the team?
Is there a way to share project plans and documents?
Can we get feedback from the development community, or the marketplace?
If our project team is scattered across several companies, cities, and continents, how can we setup an environment that lets us all do what we have to do?
All those questions – and more – will be answering for the workshop participants!

A recent commenter on my “Someone’s Been Sitting In My Chair” article mentioned that they like to check into the people that viewers of a particular profile have also viewed. (Thanks Wil!-)
My first reaction and reply back was that the information was good only for other people’s profiles, but when I was writing this article, I realized a nifty way to use this feature to see who else viewers of your profile viewed – you’ll want to see this!
Using LinkedIn Passively
Posted by stylock on 07 May 2009 | Tagged as: About the Service, Ways to Use LinkedIn
Well – my lack of post last week gives me a good topic for this week – how LinkedIn works even when you’re not thinking about it.
Even without taking the time to login to the LinkedIn system to proactively search out contacts, make introduction requests, and pursue your own agenda, LinkedIn is still there for you.
Other members from the current pool of 38 million are searching, asking for introductions, and looking to make things happen.

Interested in what Pharmaceutical Executives in Europe think of LinkedIn? Check out the article by Peter Houston on “Pharmaceutical Executive” [I'll give you a direct link to the article, just read on]
Peter approached me last year and I helped put this together – including a 30 minute LinkedIn “jump start” – look for the sidebar on the second page with a set of tips that work just as well in America;-)
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Posted by stylock on 09 Feb 2009 | Tagged as: Ways to Use LinkedIn
I’d like to work through some examples of how LinkedIn can help – and have you sit ringside. Who would you like to find, find out more about, or figure out how to reach?
I’m going to take the challenge from a handful of readers, spend less than an hour on the LinkedIn system, share the results with the lucky reader, and then go over what happened in a blog entry.
Sound interesting?-)
Podcast about LinkedIn with Lip-Sticking
Posted by stylock on 01 Feb 2009 | Tagged as: Connections, Jobs, Teleseminars, Ways to Use LinkedIn
I had the honor of being the first guest to kick off the podcast program on lipsticking.com with Yvonne DiVita – the podcast has just gone up this weekend. The site lives at http://www.lipsticking.com/ and has a tagline of “marketing to women online”, and while our talk didn’t go over any special considerations about LinkedIn for women, it was focused on making sure her audience knew about the tool and could start to use it effectively. (maybe women’s issues will make a good slant to take when we talk next;-)
We spent a short time together, but covered a number of aspects you might be interested in…
Coming to LinkedIn Soon – Profile Tagging!
Posted by stylock on 29 Jan 2009 | Tagged as: Connections, Ways to Use LinkedIn
I received an interesting email this week from the folks over at LinkedIn – an invitation to try out a new feature – profile tagging.
And when this is released, I think you’re going to like it;-)
Outward appearances suggest it will replace the existing “Connections” list, and give you more control over grouping, identifying, and using subsets of your connection list.

LinkedIn for Alumni
Posted by stylock on 18 Dec 2008 | Tagged as: Groups, Ways to Use LinkedIn
I’ve been telling trainees about the use of LinkedIn to reach out to alumni for a while now, and decided to “field test” my advice;-)
Would the alumni from your Alma Mater really be open to your contact?
Absolutely – read on…
She Sees Sue, Sue Sees She – Who Sees Who In LinkedIn?
Posted by stylock on 28 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Ways to Use LinkedIn
Sorry for the Suess-ism in the title, but this topic is very circular and the reference will put you in the right frame of mind!-)
Who’s “In” and “Out” of your network? And what networks are you in?
