  • Building A Community On LinkedIn - Presented by Melissa Cohen

    Sep 10, 2025 12:00 PM Eastern Time

    Do you still have an outdated impression of LinkedIn? If you do, you're not alone. If you haven’t spent much time on the platform since the last time you changed jobs, you might be surprised at what you find.

    When Melissa Cohen made her first post on LinkedIn in 2020 (after 12 years of having an all but dormant LinkedIn account), she had no idea how LinkedIn was going to change her life.  Yes, it gave her a new career, but it also allowed her to build an engaged and interactive community of over 21,000 followers, which has led to unexpected opportunities, and a lot of fun.

    Join Melissa for this interactive session (bring your questions!) about why you should build a community on LinkedIn, and practical steps to do so.
