This community is now 87 people so rather than me trying to share people's individual wins and fail miserably (when I miss somebody), instead I'm going to share a win for myself which is relevant to everybody in this group. And who knows you may share one of your own? 🤞 On Sunday I was messaged by a lady in America. She had a specific problem (Finance Recruitment) and wanted to talk with me. Initially I thought it was spam but when reviewing her profile it looked real especially when there was a video of her on CNN news. When I asked her, how she found me she said; 1. it was via a LinkedIn search and 2. I then looked for somebody who I considered as a thought leader in finance recruitment and is able to solve my exact problem. Now, this links back to everybody here; Visibility | Impact | Awareness. She may have found me and decided not to message me which is the same for executive recruiters and your profile. Just because you are visible does not mean that you will be contacted. Therefore in 2026 where social media and LinkedIn enables us to connect, your 'shop window' needs to be attractive for people to stop, consider and reach out to you. Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend.

I've come to the realisation that nobody in finance likes 'self promotion' 🤣 Therefore I'm going to call out some wins I know: 1. Founding member @Mick Holton has just landed an Interim CFO gig 🥳 The Wolf 🐺 is back in business. 2. One of our 1st member's @Simon Coultas has landed a three month Interim CFO gig 🥳 starting on Monday! Absolutely delighted for Simon as his journey has been too long for somebody so great. 3. @Nigel Grace landed a short-term assignment with a previous employer 🥳 and highlights why it's important to stay visible on LinkedIn and to use your previous employers and contacts for jobs 4. @Nigel Grace content compliments from @Sean Renahan who is a new member and Nigel is smashing his content creation using a VCE model; Value, Credibility and Entertainment. 5. @Sean Renahan has completed 80% of his profile and is one page one out of ~3,500 FD's (~140 pages) with PE experience and in manufacturing. @Sean Renahan was invisible before when using some filters. 6. @Lorraine Parkinson love for planes, transformation and Wales could all be coming true! After I saw a dream job for Lorraine, I name tagged her and she's had the 1st interview. Good job I ignored the "agencies please pi$$ off" message 🤭 7. @Rachel Daly continues to inspire and motivate finance people all over the World 🗺️ to post content on LinkedIn. If you're not sure where to start with content, please speak to @Rachel Daly , @Nigel Grace or myself. 8. @Nikesh Davda has a permanent CFO role in Healthcare in his sights! 9. @Stelios Vassileou and @Patrick Southey are working like Ninja's behind the scenes. 10. @Chris Brayshaw who only joined today has removed some low hanging fruit in minutes and has a very nice banner setting the professional tone from the top. 11. @Jonny Shonn after his month in South America is back and his profile has also removed some obvious issues... And moving forward with a blended approach to job hunting; LinkedIn | Headhunters | Pro-active outreach.
