Feel like you should be doing more on LinkedIn… but not quite sure what that looks like in practice? Please know that you’re not alone. Maybe you’re:
not sure if your profile is doing what it should
don't know what to post and end up staring at a blank screen
overthinking every word before you hit post
or wondering if what you’re sharing is actually making a difference
The good news? I've got you. You don’t need to be on LinkedIn all day every day, and you don’t need to turn into someone you’re not.
You just need a simple, practical way to use it that works for you and fits around your life.
Ready to get clear on LinkedIn and start showing up with confidence.
I enjoy working with smaller groups of like-minded business owners who are all working on their LinkedIn visibility. It gives us time to get to know each other, share, spark ideas and ask questions and support each other grow together.
Payment is via PayPal, if you prefer to use Eventbrite you can book here (although they take a bigger fee!) or I can send you an invoice, just let me know. (Please note I am VAT registered)
Imagine if LinkedIn felt easier....
By the end of the day you'll have
✔ A stronger LinkedIn profile
✔ A plan for what to post
✔ A framework for using LinkedIn consistently
✔ A better understanding of your analytics
✔ Know how to build your network without feeling awkward
✔ An action plan to keep you moving forwards
This isn't about sitting and listening to me talk at you all day. You'll be doing something thinking about your business while also working on your profile, so you'll leave having made real progress, not just with pages of notes!

I would highly recommend anyone who uses LinkedIn® to go through this process.
I attended Marianne’s LinkedIn Essentials session it was absolutely brilliant.
Marianne has a real gift for demystifying LinkedIn. She combines practical know-how with genuine encouragement, making the whole platform feel less daunting and far more purposeful. The session was packed with useful insights, lively discussion, and plenty of “aha” moments that made me look at my own profile and content in a whole new light.
If you’re looking to raise your confidence and actually enjoy using LinkedIn as a tool for connection and growth, I can’t recommend Marianne’s sessions highly enough.

Last week I attended LinkedIn Essentials and it was brilliant.
I’ve known Marianne for a couple of years now and she really knows her stuff. Last week I attended her LinkedIn Essentials workshop and it was brilliant.
I’ve dabbled with LinkedIn in the past, but want to start using it more deliberately to grow my business. The course was perfect - it gave me enough information and enthusiasm to get out there and start using LinkedIn properly.
If you need help with anything LinkedIn related, I’d certainly recommend talking to Marianne.

If you're ready for a simpler, more confident way to use LinkedIn
Payment is via PayPal, if you prefer to use Eventbrite you can book here (although they take a bigger fee!) or I can send you an invoice, just let me know.
PLUS you'll get the opportunity to have a two new headshots taken by a local photographer who I'm collaborating with (for just £35). This is completely optional.
What we'll be covering during the day
This isn't a training where you'll sit and listen to me talking at you all day and take some notes!
It's practical, interactive and relaxed. You'll work on your own profile throughout the day, bounce ideas off the other attendees, ask questions, create some content and have the opportunity to get some professional headshots taken and leave with actions you can start doing immediately.
Imagine knowing how to use LinkedIn, have an optimised profile, know what to post and feeling confident hitting post.
That's what LinkedIn Essentials is here to help you do.
A strong profile creates a great foundation for your social media presence.
LinkedIn Foundations
After you've got settled, grabbed a drink and introduced yourself we'll start with how to navigate LinkedIn.
Crafting a standout profile
Then we'll move onto looking at goals and who your audience is, what you want to achieve and who you are talking to.
We will go through 8 key sections of your profile that help to make that great first impression on LinkedIn. This section includes some group exercises.
A framework for using LinkedIn
I will introduce you to a 4-step framework that will help you approach LinkedIn with confidence and consistency. No more opening the app (or desktop) and not knowing what to do first.
Creating content without the panic
Here we will focus on my 5-step content creation process, so you know how to approach it. I will also introduce you to a content strategy and what is included.
How to evaluate what's working
In our last section we will explore where you find your analytics, what you have access to, how to track and analyse them and feed this into your content creation process.
Wrap up and final questions
We end our time together with a final review, and your chance to ask any last questions before we wrap up for the day.
What you'll walk away with:
By the end of our time together, you will have the clarity and confidence to use LinkedIn in a way that feels professional, appropriate and aligned with you and your business.
You'll understand how to create a strong, credible LinkedIn profile that reflects your expertise and builds trust with clients and peers.
You'll have a clear understanding of what to share, how to say it, and how to stay visible without compromising professionalism.
You'll have a simple, sustainable approach to creating content and engaging on LinkedIn alongside running your business.
You'll understand how to build and nurture professional relationships in a way that feels natural, not forced or overly salesy.
Plus you'll have an understanding of analytics, so you can see what’s working and refine your approach over time
Most importantly, you will feel equipped to represent yourself with confidence – showing up consistently, adding value, and strengthening your visibility and reputation in a considered and appropriate way.
Spaces are limited to a max of 6 to 8 people, so everyone gets inidividual attention and time to ask questions.
Book your place, bring your questions, and let’s make LinkedIn feel a whole lot easier.

I thought I already understood LinkedIn well, but Marianne showed how it can be used far more strategically.
I recently attended Marianne's LinkedIn Essentials training and came away with a completely new perspective on the platform.
I thought I already understood LinkedIn well, but Marianne showed how it can be used far more strategically to build meaningful relationships, raise awareness and create opportunities for collaboration. Her training was engaging, practical and full of actionable insights that I could apply immediately.
Marianne is knowledgeable, approachable and passionate about helping others get the most from LinkedIn. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to strengthen their presence and impact on the platform.

Still wondering if it’s right for you? You might be a bit nervous about whether to sign up for this, here are some of the questions I've been asked before which might help you.
Will this work for me if I’m brand new to LinkedIn?
Yes. We start with the foundations and build from there, so you won’t feel left behind or overwhelmed.
What if I’ve already tried LinkedIn and it didn’t work for me?
That’s more common than you think. Often it’s not about effort, it’s about having the right approach. We’ll look at what you’ve already done and make it work better for you.
What if I don’t know what to post?
You’re not alone. We’ll work through ideas, structure and simple frameworks so you always have something to say and it feels natural for you.
What if I don’t like selling myself?
This isn’t about being pushy or salesy. It’s about showing up as yourself, building relationships and letting the right people come to you.
What if I can't make the 21st of September?
Don't worry, I'm also running LinkedIn Essentials on Friday 18th of December and Monday 22 of March 2027. Book your place and drop me an email and I'll book you onto the December or March cohort.

I thought I'd better get some proper Training.
“Having "winged it" for 21 years on LinkedIn, thought I'd better get some proper Training. Joined Marianne's LinkedIn Essentials session.
Small, friendly and fun. Apparently I had been doing most things right, but...ooh er, a few wrong, and good to find out the latest on LinkedIn.
Keeping up with changes is difficult, so great to have Marianne in the room to show and tell. Already made a few changes. We are all busy, so do consider a coaching or training session to improve how you show up and what you do on LinkedIn.”
Graham D Rae, Interim Programme Manager
Why learn with me?
There are plenty of LinkedIn trainers who will tell you that you need to post every day or to chase the algorithm. That's not me!

If you want the creds part...then here it is. I'm Marianne and I have over 25 years experience in customer services through contact centres acount management and in corproate consultancy roles. I trained in marketing, direct marketing and social media and I'm always learning.

Over the years, I’ve supported and trained hundreds of people on their LinkedIn journey and have been a podcast guest sharing my knowledge of LinkedIn.

I walked away with so much clarity and highly recommend her training to anyone looking to elevate their LinkedIn presence!
I had the pleasure of attending a LinkedIn training session with Marianne, and she was absolutely amazing.
The session was incredibly informative and packed with actionable value. What I appreciated most was how Marianne tailored specific tasks to each individual, directly addressing the unique struggles we were having with the platform.
