So I’m now LinkedIn Verified - the process took seconds to complete with a current passport. This means others can confidently connect and converse with me because I am a human with a pulse. The verification badge on your profile indicates that you were able to confirm specific information about your account. Having verified information helps provide authenticity signals to others that you’re who you say you are. Seeing verified information on others’ profiles helps foster a trusted community so you can make more informed decisions around connecting with other professionals.

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a productive week. As we continuously seek ways to enhance our professional networking and visibility on LinkedIn, I'd like to introduce an idea: forming a LinkedIn Engagement Pod. What's a LinkedIn Pod? A LinkedIn Pod is a group of individuals who agree to support each other by engaging with (liking, commenting, and sharing) each other’s LinkedIn posts. The goal is to increase the visibility and reach of our posts through mutual engagement, leveraging the LinkedIn algorithm to our collective advantage. Why Consider a LinkedIn Pod? - Increased Visibility: Your posts get more engagement, making them more likely to appear in feeds. - Supportive Community: Strengthen our community by supporting each other’s professional content. - Networking Opportunities: Build deeper connections with fellow community members. However, I want to ensure this aligns with your interests and needs. So, I'm conducting this poll to gauge your interest: 👍 Interested in joining a LinkedIn Pod 👎 Not interested in a LinkedIn Pod Please vote by reacting with the appropriate emoji. Also, feel free to comment if you have any questions or suggestions. Your feedback is invaluable, and I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Let’s explore new ways to grow together professionally on LinkedIn!
