Do you want to stand out from the noisy crowd on LinkedIn? There are 3 easy things that you can do to look “LinkedIn Savvy” and instantly boost your credibility. #1 Upload a profile picture.

It is hard to remember and share. The easiest way to update is to change it to your name, perhaps with your middle initial. I also share one Bonus Tip in the video!
