What are the best places to network and grow your connections on LinkedIn?

I am competing for a spot on the Favikon ranking in the Agile coaching category; however, in addition to post engagement and views, I also need to increase my follower count. I currently have 5,252 followers and need to reach at least 7,000. I would be very happy and grateful for any help you could provide. Here is my LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matheusjunioalvarenga/

My name is Matheus, and I work in the fields of agility and technology. I’m looking to network and make connections. Here is my LinkedIn profile. https://www.linkedin.com/in/matheusjunioalvarenga/

Anyone interested in creating a small engagement group? It could be informal, we can connect on LinkedIn and engage throughtfully with each other's posts... And, feel free to disagree with any of my post... I think too many creators play it safe and hold back their honest opinions. We can respectfully disagree and potentially spark others to the same.... We're different people from different places with different life experiences so l know we disagree about something, right? Have a blessed day everyone 🙏🏽
