She shares about why she enjoys using Pinterest and LinkedIn; and then she goes into some detail about how she uses LinkedIn strategically for her business.

What I take from this is that we all have the licence to use social media in the way that suits us and the season of b ..read more

Listen in to hear how this has changed my approach to publishing my book, producing this podcast, and bal ..read more
