(3) Optimise your LikedIn Profile

Get clear on the elements of a compelling LinkedIn profile.

Feeling a bit embarrassed about your LinkedIn profile?

The great news is, levelling up the most important elements doesn’t take long and makes a big difference.

Here’s your guide to get clear on the elements of a compelling LinkedIn profile.

Head-hunters are looking for you on LinkedIn. Managers will look for you on LinkedIn. It’s a digital calling card. I suggest to my clients that they spend 20 minutes a handful of times using this guide to have stronger visibility and increase the likelihood of being head hunted or hired.

In this masterclass, LinkedIn guru Sarah Piper, from Invisible Partners, talks through the key elements of an effective profile.

I've distilled all of the fantastic insights and tips from the masterclass into a cheat sheet for you to download & use.

This takes all the guesswork and over-thinking out of the equation again.

And it works. I had one client spend less than 10 minutes changing her title based on our tips and examples. She was contacted by Apple the next day. Interviewed the following day. Hired 2 weeks later.

Even small increments of time on LinkedIn make a difference.

(4) The "I'm not a Networker" method

Learn how to connect with the right people in a way that will make them want to help you.

Let’s ditch the term networking! Traditional networking is pretty much no-one’s happy place.

Many people assume it needs to be a big room full of people. It can make us feel really uncomfortable, mainly because we think it involves talking about ourselves.

The great news is that there is another way for you to form genuine connections just by being yourself. No pitching required.

My clients – even the introverts – like having conversations in the "I'm not a networker" way. I give you the step-by-step method and examples to go from.

The clients of mine who get hired faster use this method alongside traditional recruitment.

I’ve created this guide to take the pain out of it and guide you with easeful steps.

Invaluable!

Peter, 51, engineer

“I was made redundant after a restructure. I’d been in the same role for 9 years and went straight into worst-case thinking. Nikki's guidance shifted everything. I got to see that I have strengths and experience that other organisations will value.

I worked through the toolkit and got a clear direction & plan. Four weeks later I had my first interview. My second interview resulted in an offer. I’ve stayed in my sector (manufacturing) and am now working in an organisation with a great culture.

Penny, 56, financial services

“Being unexpectedly made redundant was a shock and left me. I was thinking, "Redundant at 56! Who’ll employ me?" I felt like I had nowhere to go. Nikki's toolkit helped me break down my strengths and showed me practical opportunities I hadn’t considered.

It gave me focus, confidence and a concrete plan. I’m now finance director in a medium size recruitment business 4 days a week. I didn’t have to drop salary and have gained a really supportive team.”

Felicity, 38, teacher

“I felt overwhelmed, convinced I had no transferable skills. Nikki guided me through a simple, structured process that showed me exactly what I have to offer. The toolkit was just what I need - the ah-ha moments were gold! My anxiety eased and I could see a clear direction. Such a relief.

Using Nikki’s Connect Method resulted in an opportunity for me to help create & deliver a diabetes education and coaching support program."

"Redundancy isn't the end of your career.

It's the moment you get to redefine it."

About me

“Redundancy can feel like an end point. But it can also be an opportunity to clarify what you truly want next.”

Hi, I’m Nikki. I’m a Psychologist and Strengths-Based Career Change Coach with more than 20 years’ experience helping people navigate career change, performance challenges, and the search for meaningful work.

I’ve worked across recruitment, redundancy outplacement, and career development, so I know exactly what employers look for — and just as importantly, what you need in a role to feel fulfilled, energised, and confident about your future.

Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of people move through the shock of redundancy and into roles where they thrive. And here’s what I see every single time: once they’re on the other side, they never wish it hadn’t happened.

Yes, the process is challenging. But it can also become a key pivot point in your career.

My job is to guide you through this transition with clarity, confidence, and a strengths-based approach that helps you find a true best-fit role — not just another job.

You get practical, grounded guidance… and you get someone in your corner who genuinely understands the emotional rollercoaster of redundancy.
