My absolute favorite aspect of LinkedIn is the testimonials; and I’m so fortunate to have quite a few of them from clients and former/current colleagues on my profile. These testimonials have helped me land some new business and build trust and credibility with potential clients. On Twitter, I shared valuable information about the topic of leadership, offering tips for business leaders about how to tap into their leadership strengths.
