I got a chain email from a dear friend today and I love the message in it.

I think we could all use a reminder to walk away from people who don’t treat us well and unnecessary negative drama in our lives. If there’s anything the coronavirus has reminded us of it’s that anything can happen to anyone at anytime. It’s reminding us of what’s important and real because everything else is just filler.

For anyone who has been through tough times recently like me, this spoke to me, and I hope it helps you too. Don’t ever let anyone take away your sunshine. You don’t need anyone to be happy and happiness doesn’t come easy all the time – for some, happiness is a choice.

Writing is my outlet – can you tell? It keeps me busy and less stressed. Helping others helps me.

That being said, here’s my latest JD Supra article on why…

  1. I’m continuing to run the Women Who Wow series throughout the year because Women’s History Month was shadowed by the COVID-19 outbreak and there are just too many great women to fit in the span of 30 days.

Today’s Woman Who Wows is Robyn Addis, the Chief Operating Officer at Legal Internet Solutions Incorporated, and has a long career in operations and marketing. I met Robyn like I met so many others in this series, through our volunteer work for the Legal Marketing Association.

Right now, online networking is the most important tool we have to stay top of mind with clients, prospects, employees, alumni, the media, recruits and others who are interested in updates about your company and its people.

Please always remember that now more than ever, it’s what you say and how you say it that is so important in how your company will be viewed in the market.

This is the time to invest in enhancing and maximizing your LinkedIn company page as well as trying to grow and delight your followers. Doing so can lead to greater brand recognition, enhanced market position and new business opportunities.

In many ways, your LinkedIn company page is a second company web site, and as LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network where many people go directly for information and research, it may be even more important than your actual web site.

Your company page gives you a platform to post information about what you do and promote important news, insights, events and services. It’s one of the most powerful online marketing tools for companies of any size if you consistently post and engage with your followers.

In order to maximize your LinkedIn company page, you’ll need to do three things 1) grow your company page followers, 2) drive awareness of your page and 3) post content that helps and educates others.

Regardless of how many followers you have, you have to keep them engaged with helpful posts or they will lose interest in your company and your company won’t appear in their news feed. You can do this by consistently posting helpful, non self-boasting content to provide value to your followers.

Here’s how:

It’s been a big adjustment for all of us to pivot from commuting each day to work to working from home. Add kids and pets to the mix and it can be even harder to concentrate and be productive in your new makeshift work environment.

We have each had to adapt quickly to our new normal. Here are a few ideas on how to work more effectively no matter where you are but especially from home and actually get stuff done.
