LINKEDIN 360: Designing a Holistic Strategy for the Board and C-Suite
In an era where online presence is synonymous with professional reputation, the path to the boardroom or the C-suite goes through LinkedIn. To be considered for high-leverage governance seats or leadership roles today, senior executives and board candidates must present profiles that render them as worthy of these coveted opportunities.
Join Coach Kelly Huang for an interactive fireside chat with JD Gershbein, a globally acclaimed media psychologist and a leading pioneer in LinkedIn education, to explore how leaders can transform their LinkedIn profiles into high-impact assets for
governance and executive growth.
This session offers a sweeping, comprehensive overview of leadership branding and strategic networking in today’s AI age. Attendees will gain a blueprint for positioning themselves as authoritative voices in the boardroom, mastering the nuances of “stealth” branding for seated executives, and cultivating a high-value professional network that supports long-term career resilience and immediate board-readiness.
During this enlightening and engaging program, we will discuss how to:
Re-frame your narrative to prioritize high-level governance and risk oversight over day-to-day operational management.
Optimize your LinkedIn profile to project executive authority that specifically resonates with Board/Nomination committees and headhunters.
Establish your niche expertise through original, sustainable content that respects your existing professional bandwidth.
Cultivate high-level influence and visibility through strategic engagement that aligns with your leadership goals.
Align your LinkedIn presence with human decision-making and algorithmic signals to build trust before the first interview.
