Growth mindset questions: part 14 of 15 (and Back to Basics Tuesday)



The pandemic has to be recorded in history as two momentous years for
intense introspection. I know I have expanded my thought processing and I
hope you have taken it as a growth opportunity for increasing your inward
improvement.

"15 growth mindset questions" that I will spin into ways to rethink your
LinkedIn presence.

 

14. What can you do to manage distractions?

 

I will start by saying that any visit to your LinkedIn profile is a
distraction from the reader's usual work. You want to be a meaningful and
interesting distraction, not a speed bump that slows the pace and is to be
avoided.

That said, you have one main goal on LinkedIn: to entice, engage, and
enrapture the casual attention-deficit, and distracted reader will little
time to waste to want to know more about you. You must make them read as far
as you can get them to read, as you make your main points, and further
reinforce them a couple of times, to ensure they actually get the whole
picture of why you. Let's unpack that long sentence:

1.     read as far as you can get them to read: starting with your headline,
just like a newspaper, you need to capture their attention so they read for
more information in your About section, then on into the rest of your
profile to your Experience.

2.     make your main points: what aspects of why you are you expecting them
to recognize you for your main attributes? Plan that and choose them wisely
as these are the vertebrae of the backbone of why you.

3.     further reinforce them a couple of times: no one these days retains
the most important aspects at the first reading, so use details, quotes,
anecdotes, skills endorsements, and recommendations, in whole sentences as
if you are explaining to the reader in person.

If you are initially considered a distraction, make their time spent
appreciating your past and how it makes you who you are today, with a hint
at your future, and to do you must plan, execute, refine, re-tweak, update,
and keep reiterating your value proposition in your profile.

No one reads a newspaper article to the end unless they subconsciously
consider doing so a worthwhile expenditure of time and brain cells.

Be that expenditure.
