Ted has bounced back from many setbacks; not only did he survive the dot com crash, which wiped out his successful 20-year tech career working for companies like IBM, he then came out the other side of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, which turned his consulting business upside-down.

Today, Ted is America’s #1 LinkedIn coach and he helps clients to super-charge their online profile and presence, and how to connect properly with purpose.

He is the author of the Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn for Business and has also been featured on Entrepreneur.com, the New York Times, CNBC, and Forbes.

In this episode we talk about:

✅ How he got made redundant 3 times in 12 years

✅ How co-writing a book with Perry Marshall launched his LinkedIn coaching career

✅ Some simple tips on how to make your LinkedIn profile really stand out, and

✅ How to dial up your LinkedIn content management so that you are perceived to be associated with well-known brands.

Deal hope,

Greg
