Build an Authentic Brand That Grows Your Influence, Network and Relationships
You are good at what you do. The people who know you, know it. The problem is not enough people know you.
Someone posting a photo and a few funny lines on LinkedIn racks up 43 comments and seems to be everywhere; while you are sitting on years of genuine expertise, relationships and insight that almost nobody outside your immediate circle knows about. It is not that you have nothing to say. Nobody ever showed you a simple, honest way to say it that actually sounds like you.
We know founders, operators and leaders still struggle with this:
😩 No clarity on what to say or how to say it in a way that sounds like you
😩 No consistent system; so you post almost never
😩 Little traction when you do try, so it starts to feel pointless
😩 Watching people with half your experience get the rooms and opportunities you should be in
It is not a motivation problem. It is not a talent problem. It is a system problem.
That is exactly what this workshop gives you; a proven approach to building an authentic voice on LinkedIn that grows your influence, deepens your network and opens doors through real relationships. Not tricks. Not going viral.
This workshop is facilitated by Mike Davis, Founder and CEO of Shackleton Labs; who often gets asked at least a few times a week how he makes LinkedIn work so well for him.
Mike doesn't just talk about LinkedIn; he's built on it. He grew his personal following to over 6,000 connections, built his former podcast and company page to over 5,000 followers, and used a LinkedIn-driven brand and revenue model to found, grow and sell Humans of Purpose; one of Australia's top social entrepreneurship podcasts, top #10 in Management and top #100 in Business nationally.
He did all of that while serving as an executive leader for over a decade, reporting to some of the top CEOs in Australia's not-for-profit sector; establishing Australia's first national NFP innovation lab at Good Shepherd as GM of Innovation, and advising CEOs and boards of leading NFPs, social enterprises and top-tier law firms for more than ten years. He didn't build his presence by gaming the algorithm. He built it while doing serious, demanding work; which is exactly the situation most of our community is in.
He has sat exactly where you are sitting right now. He figured it out and he will show you how to do the same; without the years of trial and error.
What you'll walk away with:
⚡ A proven system that feels achievable, authentic and sounds like you
⚡ A clear understanding of what makes a brand undeniable and magnetic
⚡ A brand that influences, builds credibility and opens opportunities consistently
⚡ A content rhythm that fits your real week — and your first piece written live, with feedback in the room
⚡ An updated strategy for maximum reach and impact, including what's changed with the LinkedIn algorithm right now
⚡ Clarity on when and how to use AI, and when AI can hurt more than help
This workshop is for you if:
⚡ You are a founder, operator or leader who knows you have more to offer than your current online presence suggests
⚡ You want to build genuine influence and relationships, not just rack up followers
⚡ You have been putting this off and you know it
⚡ You have tried posting before, it felt weird, and you never went back
