6 Steps to a More Marketable LinkedIn Profile
Overall, LinkedIn is the best social media platform for entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals. Unfortunately, your LinkedIn profile may not be helping you to create those connections. So let’s tune yours up with six simple steps: Step 1. Revisit your goals. At its most basic level LinkedIn is about marketing: marketing your company or marketing yourself. But don’t just whip out the Google AdWords Keyword Tool and identify popular keywords. Go a step further and think about words that have meaning in your industry. Use a keyword tool to find general terms that could attract a broader audience, and then dig deeper to target your niche by identifying keywords industry insiders might search for. Then sense-check your keywords against your goals. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Share why you love what you do in your profile. Keywords are important but are primarily just a way to help potential clients find you. Step 5. Take a look at your current photo. Step 6.
Why Storytelling Is The Ultimate Weapon
In business, storytelling is all the rage. Without a compelling story, we are told, our product, idea, or personal brand, is dead on arrival. In his book, Tell to Win, Peter Guber joins writers like Annette Simmons and Stephen Denning in evangelizing for the power of story in human affairs generally, and business in particular. Plausible enough. I think it’s a real insight. Until recently we’ve only been able to speculate about story’s persuasive effects. What is going on here? And, in this, there is an important lesson about the molding power of story. This is exactly Guber’s point. Guber tells us that stories can also function as Trojan Horses. Guber’s book is relentlessly optimistic about the power of story to persuade. So there are two big lessons to take from Guber’s book and from the new science of storytelling. The new gospel of business storytelling offers a challenge to common views of human nature.

How to Keep Your Brain from Underestimating Task Time
Do you ever wonder why you never have enough time — no matter how much planning you undertake to stay on top of things? That’s called the Planning Fallacy. We’re going to look at two solutions to this problem. But first, a glossary! Glossary Yarn Bomb: a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk.Hofstadter’s Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.Putamen: A brain region that does lots, including using dopamine to contribute to learning and estimation. Hofstadter’s Law (which will take you slightly longer to understand than you think) seems often inescapable. There are no sensory receptors specifically dedicated for perceiving time. Of course, it’s not quite as simple as that — as you can see from the study’s diagram.
