I believe LinkedIn is more important than your resume in today’s world of work. Yet many talented professionals are underusing it.

Meanwhile, it can work for you in the background—building visibility, opening doors, and helping opportunities find you, often before a job is even posted.

Today, we’re kicking off an all-new three-part series with Michelle Schafer, career & leadership coach extraordinaire, about LinkedIn and how to use it in ways that feel aligned and effective.

Part 1 is about the limiting beliefs holding you back. Things like: “My boss will think I’m job hunting”, “I have nothing valuable to say”, “What if nobody engages?”

Over the next few weeks, we will also cover how to make the most of your profile and what actually works for connecting with professionals on LinkedIn.

We had so much fun recording this, and I genuinely think it’s going to shift something for a lot of you.

If LinkedIn has ever felt awkward, unclear, or not quite like you, this is a great place to start 🌟

Career and leadership growth were never meant to be a straight line, and Akua Nyame-Mensah has lived that truth beautifully.

From urban planning to AmeriCorps to leading a startup launch in West Africa, Akua's career has moved in seasons, each one building on the last. Now a leadership advisor and facilitator, she helps others navigate their own cycles with greater clarity and less pressure.

In this conversation, Akua shares her Leadership Cycle framework and why the messier seasons of leadership are just as valuable as the flourishing ones.
