The People Success Circle

The Case for LinkedIn

Mindy East

When’s the last time you Googled yourself—and did you like what you saw?

In this solo episode of People Success Circle, I’m diving deep into the power of LinkedIn and how it’s become my #1 tool for building visibility, growing my business, and staying connected in today’s hyperconnected world. Whether you’re a job seeker, business owner, recruiter, or simply curious about how LinkedIn actually works, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to start showing up strategically online.

I’ll share two real stories from my own career—how one LinkedIn group message led to years of client work, and how a speaking coaching client found me just by reading my posts. You’ll also learn the myths, stats, and strategies that prove why LinkedIn is still the most valuable tool for online networking, personal branding, and professional opportunity.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Why your LinkedIn profile is your online billboard—not just a resume

  • The difference between being visible and being remembered on LinkedIn

  • What recruiters actually look for on a LinkedIn profile (hint: it’s not just your job title)
