19 LinkedIn topic ideas to build your personal brand
Building a Personal Brand is my passion.
As an Ex-LinkedIn Manager, I've helped 100s of Fortune 500 C-suite Executives unleash their brand potential and elevate their LinkedIn presence through workshops, consulting and ghostwriting.
Many clients don't know where to start.
Posting consistently is essential to building an executive brand, but often clients struggle with just what to talk about.
Here are 19 proven topics that will make an impact on LinkedIn:
1. Myth-bust. Address common misconceptions in your industry and provide evidence-based insights that challenge these myths.
2. Proud career moments. Talk about the big accomplishments and wins + what it took to get there.
3. Failures & f*ups. Careers aren't solely built on the wins, instead, speak to a time you failed and what you learned from that experience. Often failures are more engaging than successes on LinkedIn.
