What do a sick hedgehog and LinkedIn have in common? 🦔

Apparently… reconnecting with old friends.

Last week, I took an injured hedgehog into the local vet clinic here in Taupō and unexpectedly ran into an old university era friend (and Vet) I hadn’t seen in years.

Then, a few nights later, there she was sitting in the audience at my Techweek26 session: “Unlock the Power of LinkedIn.” Thanks Sally Aitken, for coming along and for our photo.

Honestly, I couldn’t have planned a better reminder of what LinkedIn is really about.

Not algorithms.
Not vanity metrics.
Not trying to “go viral.”

Connection.

Real people.
Real relationships.
Real opportunities to reconnect, learn, support, encourage, and grow.

It was such a privilege to speak at Techweek26 Taupō at beautiful Waiora House and spend the evening with so many local business owners and professionals who came along curious, open-minded, and willing to learn.

One of my favourite parts of the night was hearing people say things like:
“I didn't know there was so much happening on LinkedIn beyond the content I see.”

The truth is, there is so much more to LinkedIn than content.

Most people are simply trying to work out:
• how to show up for their business or professionally
• how to explain what they do clearly
• how to build genuine relationships
• and how to use LinkedIn with more purpose and confidence

A huge thank you to Jo Caira, Rick Keehan, and the team at Amplify (Taupo District Economic Development) for creating such a welcoming and valuable week of events for the Taupō business community.

And thank you to everyone who came along, asked thoughtful questions, shared stories, and contributed to such a great atmosphere. It was a pleasure to meet you. 🙂

🎧 I just released a free private podcast to help you stop losing opportunities because of your LinkedIn profile.

Most people don’t realise what’s costing them credibility…

I break it down step-by-step inside.

If that is you...

Comment ‘PODCAST’ and I’ll send it to you.

LinkedIn success isn’t just about what you post; it’s about who you connect with.

Over my 10+ years working with business owners on LinkedIn, I’ve seen trends come and go.

The LinkedIn landscape keeps evolving, which is both exciting and challenging.

In recent years, content became the “shiny object,” and many have gone all-in.

However, as the algorithm shifts, it changes how reach and engagement work.

That means relying on content alone is no longer enough.

What hasn’t changed?

The power of deliberately growing your network.

Inviting your ideal prospects, strategic referral sources, and peers to connect has always been and still is one of the most effective strategies on LinkedIn.

It builds the foundation for visibility, conversations, and opportunities with your ideal prospects.

As the platform evolves, it’s not about chasing the next trend.

It’s about blending content, networking, and smart activity into a strategy that works for you.

What’s working well for you right now?

Struggling to turn LinkedIn time into business results? You’re not alone.

A couple of months ago, I wrapped up the first round of my Unlock the Power of LinkedIn Group Coaching Programme, and what a great group of business owners. They jumped in, shared openly, and made the most of every session.

📣 Here’s what one client had to say after completing the programme:

“I feel like Kate has completely demystified LinkedIn for me. The practical tools I received helped me craft a strategy covering my profile, content, and activity. In particular, I no longer feel intimidated by the mountainous task of coming up with ideas for content. Kate’s structure means I can confidently develop a content plan to help me increase reach, engagement, and ultimately gain new business.”
Megan Cunningham-Adams, Onion CRM - Business Owner, 1st Cohort

And now, it’s your turn.

The second cohort kicks off in October. This is your chance to stop going it alone on LinkedIn and finally have:
✔ A plan that works
✔ Support and accountability
✔ A small group of business owners who are in it with you

Group coaching and training are some of my favourite ways to share LinkedIn know-how, and I’d love you to be part of this next round.

📩 Message me here or email [email protected] for the full PDF with all the details.

Let’s build you a pipeline you can count on (and have some fun along the way).

No pipeline? No plan? No problem — but let’s fix that.

Feeling like you’re doing all the things on LinkedIn, but your DMs are still gathering dust?

Tired of going it alone and wondering if it’s working?

You’re not the only one.

That’s exactly why I created the Unlock the Power of LinkedIn group coaching programme — a 12-week journey with practical support, strategies that work, and a small group of business owners who are ready to turn things around together.

✔ We start in May
✔ Spaces are limited
✔ This is the very first cohort (aka you’ll get the VIP treatment)
✔ Swipe through the carousel to learn more

Let’s build a pipeline you can count on — and have a bit of fun along the way.

13/04/2025

Where are you showing up for your business right now?

No, seriously. Where?

📉 If your pipeline’s looking more like a drip than a flow…

📪 If your email list is gathering dust…

📵 If your social content is still sitting in your drafts folder…

🕵️‍♀️ And if your idea of networking is liking a post and vanishing…

Then this post might just be your friendly signpost. "Hello, here I am."

Business owners regularly tell me that they’re struggling to attract leads or keep their pipeline healthy — but when I gently ask where they’ve been showing up… we both realise the answer is often: they haven’t.

This isn’t about shame — it’s a nudge. A wink. A virtual “you’ve got this.”

So… what’s your honest answer to the question?

Is this your signpost today?

09/04/2025

Forget vanity metrics — this is the real way to win on LinkedIn.

When was the last time you genuinely helped someone on LinkedIn?

And no, I don’t mean liking their post or sending an emoji reaction.

I mean connecting two people in your network because you can see the potential in their relationship.

🎯 One might need the other’s services.
🎯 They might be able to refer business to each other.
🎯 Or maybe they’re just good humans with shared interests and values.

These introductions are simple gestures that build trust, community, and momentum.

And here’s the kicker: the law of reciprocity kicks in. When you help others without an agenda, people remember.

They’re more inclined to help you in return.

So while impressions and outreach metrics are nice...(and a part of the picture)

The real goal? Move beyond the platform and create real-world relationships.

If you want to learn how to use LinkedIn more effectively—beyond the likes and into relationship-building—I’m launching a new group coaching programme in May.

Comment “HELP” below and I’ll send you all the juicy details.

Let’s turn your LinkedIn connections into real-life opportunities—minus the awkward sales pitch.

What a great day at the Professional Speakers Association New Zealand Summit today. I had a great time presenting to the audience here and thanks to Amy Scott I had fun earrings to wear.

If you have been told you have to be on LinkedIn, but it makes you want to stab your eyeballs out with a spoon then this is for you. 🥄

People often say to me that they don’t like or even “hate” LinkedIn because the only thing they connect with LinkedIn is that they keep getting emails that ask them to connect with people they don’t know and frankly don’t want to know.

I’ve been coaching B2B business owners and salespeople on how to leverage LinkedIn for over 10 years and this strong reaction to LinkedIn reveals to me that they are very passive users of the platform.

What typically goes with this is that they have an incomplete profile, and they have a small number of connections that are not their ideal prospects or clients. Their lack of action is the direct cause of the results they are not getting.

❓ Does that sound like you?

🚧 If it does and prior to this post, you didn't know that you are the cause of your own pain, that is on me. I haven’t been telling you through my content that this is a massive BARRIER to your success on LinkedIn.

🤗 I care about your success and want you to know that you are getting in your own way AND missing out on potential leads and business.

👋🏻 THE GOOD NEWS - here’s how you can fix this.

If you begin inviting your ideal clients to connect in the right way along with optimising your profile and sharing content that adds value to them, this will create a whole new experience for your ideal clients, and your business on LinkedIn.

The SECRET SAUCE to generating leads and opportunities on LinkedIn is that you need to grow a network populated with your ideal clients. There are two distinct ways of doing this and they both require your hard work and graft.

They don’t appear by magic.

And you need to start today.

So you can stop stabbing yourself in the eye with that old spoon, and instead use it to scoop up all the juicy leads you will be generating.

Who wants to try this?
