LinkedIn just shared the best feature announcement I’ve seen in a long time. Advice Sessions make it easier to book calls, share tips and monetize your insights on LinkedIn.

Adam Rodricks is a digital marketer, professor and now author! His new book Trigger Fingers: Personal Branding Through Storytelling instantly became a bestseller through pre-orders. He started his career as a community manager for Staples Canada and we met at a Staples store when he taught a workshop about Instagram. Thankfully I take a selfie with everyone I meet so I could pull it up 3 years later! Adam is currently the National Lead, Digital Marketing Services at KPMG Canada and I’m excited to share his insights about personal branding.

A few years ago, I blogged about how LinkedIn recruited celebrities to join. I said that I was in favour of it and I hope they commit to it like other social media channels. Most of them abandoned it, but it doesn’t matter because one of Chelsea Handler’s articles really stood out to me.
In March 2016, Chelsea Handler wrote an article on LinkedIn about the power of showing up. A few months later, I was thinking about the article while standing in Starbucks near St. Andrew station and I found the link, then tweeted about it. I re-read the article this week right before I had a chance to tell her how much I loved it in person. It was worth reading again.
