As a communication & presentation skills specialist, I like training to be well-structured, -communicated and -delivered. Petra’s course was excellent on all counts.

I liked the blended approach of a one-to-one strategy session with Petra in week one, followed by small group sessions for the remaining weeks.

Petra shared her expertise with us in short training sessions, but for me, the real value was in the review of each person’s LinkedIn activity.

Petra demonstrated how we could show our expertise by commenting strategically on posts. The suggestions were clearly explained and delivered in Petra’s unique humorous style 😊

The "Get Noticed on LinkedIn" program helped me get more focused about how I spend my time on LinkedIn. I am now more strategic in my approach and am confident that if I continue to implement the tips from the programme, I will continue to get even better traction on LinkedIn.

I wanted to use my time on LinkedIn efficiently and not feel like a dabbler. I signed up for Petra’s Get Noticed on LinkedIn class and learned so much!

Petra taught me how to improve my commenting, what kind of people to follow, about hashtags and so much more.

She included documents that I will refer to again and again.

I now have a LinkedIn strategy and am excited to use LinkedIn to increase my copyediting and critique business. Thanks, Petra!

I’ve always enjoyed LinkedIn and been pretty active – posting regular articles and engaging with others. But – my activity was always haphazard. No structure – precious little strategy (a bit like my life generally). Most of my business comes through networking, which, though fun, and relatively low cost, is time-consuming.

So – why not make more of LinkedIn? Why not seek help in developing a structured, strategic approach, that optimises the opportunities afforded by the platform that keeps on giving?

I stumbled across Petra several months ago. Her sassy non-nonsense approach immediately made me sit up and take notice. Her program “Get Noticed, Mentioned & Remembered” really appealed.

Within a few short weeks, Petra opened my eyes to the benefits of a structured strategy and introduced me to a delightful group of fellow students from across the globe, who themselves have taught me plenty about their own unique skills.

To summarise – thanks to Petra’s program, I’ve achieved far more than I’d anticipated –

– I’ve gained an in-depth understanding of the importance of a strategic approach to LinkedIn
– I’ve learned how to manage Content, Engagement, Hashtags and Connections
– I’ve had fun, learned from and made friends with the other members of the group

To anyone keen to maximise the huge benefits of LinkedIn, Petra’s program is the answer. 10 out of 10 for content and value.

Thank you Petra!

PS: What a shame we didn’t cover ‘How to compose clear, concise and compelling LinkedIn recommendations’ 😉

Petra's classes are full of actionable tips, strategies, and feedback delivered in a way that feels like both a kick in the pants and an affectionate hug.

Equally important, the sessions are engaging and fun, which enhances the learning process.

And, she knows the BEST people. Every person I have met in Petra's class or tea is absolutely delightful, smart, and generous.

Petra encourages and facilitates collaboration so that you don't just learn from her, you also learn from each other. I miss our Friday mornings!

As a Global Marketing Executive, I am used to building marketing organizations that drive growth. Yet to consistently build my personal brand, I was missing some discipline and methodology to start producing and sharing relevant content on a daily.

It was great to work with Petra to refine my personal brand, develop it with relevant posts/updates/articles... and stick to it!

The way the "Get Noticed on LinkedIn" progam builds up worked really well. Start simple by engaging in conversations EVERY DAY till you find your tone of voice and area of expertise, then start producing posts/updates/articles.

By doing it every day and reporting progress the following week I kept on track and kept finetuning my actions.

This resulted in me (1) being found in many more searches, and (2) receiving invites from peers (i.e. useful contacts) on a daily basis.

I recently took part in Petra’s Stop Wasting Time on LinkedIn course. The individual strategy session that kicked off the 5-week programme gave me the focus to clearly define ‘what do I want to say?’ and ‘who do I want to hear it?’

I didn’t need help to write my profile or change my banner… I needed a kick up the butt to actually post stuff and that is exactly what I got.

And then Petra gave me the extra ‘and when am I going to do it?’ I can always make excuses that I’m too busy, so what I needed was some structure and encouragement to make a start, get over the ‘fear’ of posting my own words (I spend far too much time changing other people’s words!) and get more visible.

I had never used Slack before but once I got used to it I really liked it. I found it was helpful to have a private group for the session I was in because these are the people you feel like you know. But I also liked having a connection with people in the other sessions… especially when there is a mixture of chatty and quiet people.

I certainly got the encouragement I needed and now have a clearer focus on how to continue to be visible, professional and approachable. And I discovered that it’s not so scary to click the post button!

I took Petra’s course Get Noticed on Linkedin and I loved the way she reviewed all our Linkedin activity one by one and gave us recommendations on the spot to improve it.

Petra asked us: what could you have done differently to add value and show your expertise?

I have enjoyed her professionalism in everything that she does, from the weekly Zoom sessions to the use of Slack and Voxer for supporting us during the week.

In terms of results, I have gotten great value from the initial individual Strategy Session, which allowed me to refine my strategy.

Then, she taught me how to do Networking on Linkedin strategically but also always being generous and sharing value in all that I write: comments, posts and articles.

As a result, I have increased my pipeline of potential customers for my services connecting with people that are totally on my “sweet spot” for what I want to deliver, that is helping organizations to create sustainability leadership.

I have also been noticed by people in the field that I want to work in, and these people have commented my posts, accepted my requests to connect and sometimes reached out to me to connect. What a great result in only 6 weeks!

I recently participated in Petra’s Stop Wasting Time on LinkedIn course and loved it. The course started with an individual strategy session with Petra in which she really got to the nitty-gritty of what it was I wanted to get out of LinkedIn – so no generic ‘what do you do on LinkedIn' type questions, but really in-depth questions about who I follow, why and to what end. And there was no getting away with vague answers such as ‘oh, I want to expand my network’, Petra pushed me to really think about the why and what for.

The remaining sessions were in a small group but still with individual feedback every week – amazing how well Petra was able to refer back to each participant’s individual needs. It kept us all focused and on our toes! With Petra’s guidance, my activity on LinkedIn has changed dramatically: fewer ‘likes’ and more comments that say something about me and the service I offer. My LinkedIn stats show that this is really making a difference to my visibility and engagement levels.

I was particularly pleased with how well Petra kept the course and us participants in line – not an easy thing when we’re all online. The lessons always started and finished on time, no-one was allowed to dominate the discussion and she didn’t allow the conversation to drift off on a tangent.

If you really want to get serious on LinkedIn, I would highly recommend Petra; whichever of her courses you choose to follow will be money well spent!

The individual strategy session helped me get clear on my ideal client. As a coach, it was interesting to be on the other side of the table, love how your good use of questions helped me get to the bottom of how to present my expertise, values and beliefs on LinkedIn.

I joined the “Get Noticed on LinkedIn” group program as I was feeling blocked to post. The small group provided a safe space to get out of my comfort zone. I love it now! It feels like giving freedom to my vision…

The structured approach and encouragement by you and the group to just do it really worked (and the fact that you kept haunting me ? ).

I appreciate your honest and direct feedback throughout the weeks, which gave me the confidence to continue. I now get likes and comments, mostly from women – My target audience!
