How to Cultivate Executive Presence on LinkedIn - Hallie Crawford

How to Cultivate Executive Presence on LinkedIn - Hallie Crawford You know you need to care about LinkedIn (LI). The stats are too compelling to ignore and the power of potential results is undeniable. So now you want to be a LinkedIn player and cultivate executive presence (EP)…but how? To achieve executive presence, you need to be perceived as a leader, project gravitas, and influence others with a charisma that commands respect and achieves collaborative results in an ever-changing environment. Since much of your EP success depends on communication, let’s look at six ways to convey EP in your profile. 1.          Compelling and Custom-Fit Communication The opposite of this would be a brief statement either from your resume summary or a vague description of what you do using boring, seen-everywhere-before language. Your profile must be dynamic, convey energy, and demonstrate your passion in a way that shows you understand your big picture and the value you want to bring to the professional world. Don’t do what everyone else does. Write in a way that reveals you are highly self-aware and emotionally intelligent. Write authentically in your own voice. 2.          Expertise in Subject Matter Are you really good at what you do? Are you a master in your field able to demonstrate deep knowledge? Tell us about it on LI. A great way to do this is to write a first person narrative description for each job in the experience section that illustrates what you enjoy, your motivated skills, and your best results. Remember, LI is not your resume. I strongly encourage you to go beyond a static copy and paste of the typical list of job responsibilities. 3.            Ability to Get Results Proof you can get the job done beyond expectations is critical. This is a big part of what separates you from Joey Professional in a similar job. Use quantitative measures whenever possible to market your skills. Think action â€" skill applied â€" result. 4.          Credibility First, be sure you have a complete profile. Seriously. Then, boost your credibility through recommendations (strive for 5-8 current recommendations), well-documented education, training, and development, and work samples when possible. 5.          Confidence One of the biggest barriers my clients have in creating a rock star profile is their inhibition to writing confidently about themselves. This is your chance to advocate for yourself. No one else is begging to do it for you. There is a difference between confident, authentic communication and arrogance. I’m confident you can stay between the lines of the former and still rock your profile! 6.          Polished Professional Style This includes your picture which is your first digital impression and arguably equal to the weight of your impression during the first few seconds of an in-person interview. Use a focused, well-lit headshot with a crushed (slightly blurred) outdoor or indoor office background in which you are dressed professionally. This also includes your language. Proof read. Have impeccable grammar. Errors will only undermine your efforts to cultivate EP. In conclusion, follow these guidelines to maximize your LI profile for executive presence, networking, and career opportunities. Know that achieving the above can be difficult and feel time consuming to do on your own. I welcome you to reach out for revision help anytime. Best wishes! We hope this is helpful to you!

7 Ways Im Managing My Endometriosis at Work

7 Ways I'm Managing My Endometriosis at Work In the fall of 2016, I was a love bird at the pinnacle of my vocation. My better half and I bought our fantasy loft, and I had quite recently acknowledged an esteemed position (and noteworthy boost in compensation) with an enormous social insurance organization. So much in my life was surpassing my desires and long periods of difficult work were happening as expected. And afterward, unexpectedly, my rose-hued glasses were shattered.Or perhaps not all that out of nowhere. Long periods of unexplained pelvic agony, incessant UTIs, infection, weariness, sleep deprivation, substantial dying, night sweats, queasiness, spewing and influenza like manifestations had at last made up for lost time to me. Also, fourteen days before beginning my new position, I wound up in a South Jersey crisis live with torment so awful that it blew my mind. Morphine offered no help, and I was terrified that I was dying.Five hours and one MRI later, different confounded specialists guaranteed me that I wasnt bit ing the dust and discharged me with a remedy for Oxycodone and a conclusion of dysmenorrhea (menstrual issues) and stoppage. I would later come to discover that this experience is a privilege of entry for most endometriosis victims a self-contradicting story that can never be shared without inciting flashbacks and anxiety.This crisis provoked me to quickly observe my gynecologist. Subsequent to precluding PCOS, fibroids and different conditions, they revealed to me that I expected to likewise preclude endometriosis, a word that I had never heard (in spite of working in human services correspondence for longer than 10 years). This decision out must be done through surgery.Three weeks after the fact, I was coming out of a long medical procedure as a renewed person with an incessant malady. Shockingly, my primary care physicians doubts were correct; I had stage four endometriosis. And keeping in mind that this conclusion quickly changed the course of my vocation and how I approach func tioning, I have learned significant exercises about how to deal with my activity while additionally adapting to a ceaseless sickness. Ive shared my preferred seven below.1. Utilizing my voice.I have consistently been an over-sharer. This endowment of talk joined with the way that I have spent my vocation working in human services has served me well in the endometriosis domain. I have no issues letting businesses, managers and (generally) associates recognize what is up with me and my uterus. This isn't to be mixed up with crying or consideration chasing. It isn't your issue that you have endometriosis, yet you can't anticipate that others should comprehend why you might be utilizing more days off than ordinary or pushing gatherings back in the event that you dont let them know.By making some noise when I can't leave my bed during a terrible agony flare or when queasiness and cerebrum haze keep me from hitting a cutoff time, Ive opened the lines of correspondence and took into consid eration alterations to be made to desires. All the more critically, by being proactive, I am assuming responsibility for my profession way and telling bosses that regardless of having a few impediments, I am as yet an important colleague who is focused on the job.2. Requesting accommodation.In the United States, endometriosis isn't yet delegated an inability, despite the fact that it impacts numerous basic life capacities. This doesnt imply that you are totally avoided from being ensured grinding away. Most organizations will work with you to give sensible lodging in the event that you are reporting, imparting, and performing to desires. You will probably be required to give structures from your primary care physician about your determination and what your impediments are, yet this is ordinarily a direct process.Accommodations can incorporate anything from remote working and change of hours to an increasingly agreeable seat and adaptable calendars. Also, however I have lost position s because of endometriosis, I am by and by blessed to be working for an organization that comprehends my illness and works with me as much as possible to discover imaginative arrangements and workarounds for my limitations.If things are arriving at where your wellbeing is taking a secondary lounge to your profession, think about asking HR regarding paid or unpaid leave and short or long haul inability. You may be astonished at the choices that are available.3. Finding a confidant.Having a coworker who you can address about harsh days can be an enthusiastic life preserver. In some cases going for a stroll to let out some pent up frustration (and every so often cry) with a confided in work partner can have the effect between a terrible day and an appalling one at the office.By building up some protected connections, you can be more open than you would be with HR or your chief. What's more, we as a whole realize that simply having somebody who tunes in to you improves things significan tly with regards to in passionate pressure, tension and pain.4. Keeping my tank fueled.No all the more skipping dinners to complete a task or neglecting to drink water. I used to get by on one huge supper daily and espresso. I was additionally a long distance runner, and regularly put in 12-hour days at the workplace. This no longer works for me. In the event that I go over four hours without eating, my sickness skyrockets and my vitality levels plunge perilously. This isnt about weight the executives; its about energizing a body that is continually utilizing vitality to battle irritation. Support yourself with fiber, organic products, veggies and sound fats. Drink water and take nutrients. What's more, when you can, cut back on caffeine and liquor, as they increment estrogen and aggravation. This keeps on being a test for me, however as time passes by, I cannot overlook the conspicuous flares that occur subsequent to reveling excessively. On the off chance that I dont need to get u p too soon hour following day, party time is more manageable.5. Getting off the refusal train (and, perhaps, the subway).Denial is a method for dealing with stress frequently used in the initial quite a while of ceaseless sickness analysis. Tolerating the truth of the upgraded you is totally different from surrendering, yet the lines can be foggy. Refusal can bring about overpromising and underdelivering particularly grinding away. The sooner you can deal with fluctuating torment, cerebrum haze and exhaustion, the better you can spending plan your time and vitality wisely.This can mean numerous things. For me, it can mean taking a taxi or uber to work rather than the tram during especially terrible flares. Without a doubt, it costs more. Yet, it additionally spares personal time and vitality toward the beginning of the day. Endometriosis can likewise cause a disabled invulnerable framework, so staying away from open transportation helps keep germs under control. Lets be realistic, h ere and there simply standing up can be horrendous, so make things simpler for yourself anyway you can. Little changes include up.6. Loading up on hostile to queasiness prescription, warming cushions and... extra underwear.Super in addition to tampons, cushions, and painkillers are presumably effectively a piece of your endurance unit, yet toss some additional garments in there as well.Leaks happens to potentially anyone, in any event, when endometriosis isnt a factor. Yet, in the event that I had a nickel for each time I needed to come up short on my office subsequent to draining all over a seat, I would be resigned and most likely not composing this article. Spare yourself some pressure and keep an additional pair of jeans and clothing at your work area to abstain from squandering a whole workday looking for new ones (or going home).7. Offering myself a reprieve (or several).Endometriosis can regularly cause us to feel old and debilitated. A throbbing painfulness strike various bo dy parts. Sitting and standing feels unthinkable. Here and there, breathing damages. Intellectually, cerebrum haze is a typical side effect, and gazing at a PC screen while battling with exceed expectations records or extreme alters can put forth me dizzy.I make an attempt to stand up and move around consistently. Regardless of whether I am simply extending my legs or strolling to the kitchen for a water or coffee break, these smaller than normal breaks help me genuinely and intellectually. What's more, I am proud in regards to the days when the main alternative is my at-home (in-bed) office.Hopefully, a portion of these proposals and tips can assist you with bettering oversee working with endometriosis. Having an occupation and a salary isnt just basic for a considerable lot of us; it is additionally a benefit. By keeping your wellbeing top of psyche, you can build the odds of life span in your vocation and stay away from burnout.
