6/24/2021 Tips And Resources That Make Creating A LinkedIn Intro Video Something You Actually Want To Doby Shea KiWhat if you could do something to boost your career momentum that didn't cost anything but some courage and a little time? You can! It is creating your LinkedIn Intro Video and pinning it to the top of your LinkedIn Profile in the "Featured" section. I hear a lot of different reasons that many still have not recorded and posted theirs. "It feels weird talking about myself like this...." "I don't know what to say...." "I'm fine until I hit the record button, then I start not sounding like myself...." It can be an overwhelming step to take. However, I also believe that when we share communication about our work that is authentic, captivating, and effective, it opens the door to more possibilities. As I offered in my previous blog post, when you learn how to ACE your message of professional value, it quickens the journey to aligning with work opportunities that fit and feel good. But life gets busy. Trying something new, no matter how beneficial it may be for our career growth, can be hard to find time to execute. Even as a coach who constantly helps other professional women learn and practice how to communicate with impact, I kept putting creating my LinkedIn video intro off. When you invest the time to learn a few tips on how to do your intro video on LinkedIn, you can experience a big return of benefits back. Reflecting on what you will say, practicing it, and then creating a video that you are proud of will serve you in so many ways, including: 1) The clarity you will gain in talking about who you enjoy doing work for brings much relief. Getting more clear on this is also extra useful if you have been feeling stuck in your career journey or not sure what next best step to take. 2) You can use all or parts of your video intro at networking meetings, to help kick off any interview, or as a post to help clarify to others what your work is about on other social media. 3) The boost in confidence I saw myself, my clients, friends, and colleagues experience once we posted our LinkedIn intro video is priceless. 🌟There is a new energy that comes from knowing for sure we have given ourselves time to look inward so we can clearly express outward on video a highlight about our professional value. For me, getting out of my own way to get this done felt empowering. The incredible professionals I list below all created their first into videos on LinkedIn and volunteered to share their lessons learned for this article. I hope these examples, tips, (and resources listed later) will spark you up about the advantages that adding a video intro to your LinkedIn profile can provide. Examples & Tips |
