LinkedIn Unmasked

A live workshop for neurodivergent folk ready to craft a LinkedIn profile or CV that reflects their strengths, skills and working style.

Show up professionally

without leaving yourself behind.

The details

📅 Date: Friday 1 August 2025

⏰ Time: 4:00-5:30pm AEST (close out the working week with me!)

📍 Location: Live via Microsoft Teams

💸 Cost: AU$37

Who this is for

This workshop is for you if...

  • You're not sure why people use LinkedIn and whether you should too

  • You have a half-baked profile which doesn't represent the real you

  • You have a profile but you’re tired of the masking it does for you

  • You're hiding your strengths behind vague job titles

  • You want your profile to reflect how you work best

  • You’re exploring how to affirm your neurodivergence (without over-explaining)

  • You want to be visible — but on your terms

What you'll learn

We'll cover...

  • Why LinkedIn is necessary for professionals in any industry

  • How LinkedIn is actually used (and it's not for finding jobs)

  • Why LinkedIn is your boundary-setting tool

  • How to write a headline that opens the right doors

  • Crafting a neuro-affirming About section (without the corporate BS)

  • Optional ways to safely disclose your neurodivergence

  • What to feature, and how to invite the right opportunities

What you'll take away

You'll leave with...

First and foremost - no pressure or expectation to implement this workshop if you don't want to. We will be drafting new LinkedIn profile content in a separate document or notes file. But, by attending, you will get:

  • A strengths-based LinkedIn headline

  • An About section in your voice

  • A skills list that reflects how you actually work

  • Language to set content boundaries and communicate clearly

  • Enough information to decide if you want to update your LinkedIn profile
