050: The LinkedIn Whisper: Building Authority Without the Overwhelm with Kim Ribich

Gillian Whitney Season 2 Episode 32

Feeling overwhelmed by LinkedIn but know you need to be there to build your author platform? Career transition coach Kim Ribich and I explore the refreshing concept of being "quietly social" on LinkedIn in this "from the vault" LinkedIn Live replay! Kim reveals that you don't need to be a LinkedIn influencer posting daily content to build meaningful authority – instead, you can create powerful connections behind the scenes through strategic commenting, thoughtful direct messaging, and intentional privacy settings.

If you're an introvert author who's been pressured to "show up big" on social media, or if you've considered quitting LinkedIn because of overwhelm, this conversation will be a game-changer. We dive into LinkedIn features you probably didn't know existed, like custom search filters to curate your feed and privacy toggles that let you research without being seen. Kim shares her "people-first" approach to building genuine relationships through DMs and explains why the consumer-to-commenter-to-creator progression might be exactly what you need to sustainably grow your platform.
