Does anybody have any wins this week even if they are 'small'? My small win is I met a Co-Founder of a global business this week and although we were discussing the job brief, it made me think about how narrow we can be in our thinking. For example, shifting my mindset from, how can I get 50 CFOs to a webinar to how can I get 50% of the UK CFO population to a webinar. Same numbers 😇 but a very different outcome. Any questions please drop in to the Q&A call tomorrow morning 9:30am - 9:50am SKOOL Meeting | Meeting-Join | Microsoft Teams And there's the LinkedIn Live Demo tomorrow starting at 10:03am. Here's the registration details: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/2b270e98-bc91-4bf9-8f92-160c27e29d57@a77c928d-b6ec-4d15-a4ee-f57d5093a2a6/registration

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.

@Claire Peal can you please stop updating your profile?!? 😇 Claire is now number one out of 10 million profile in the London area for ALL professionals on LinkedIn. If you're going to play the game, play it better than anybody else. After five months you deserve some luck. And don't forget to finish the rest of your 'homework'.

@Claire Peal joined SKOOL two days ago having struggled with her job search for five months. Prior to joining SKOOL Claire was completely invisible and it was the usual; job titles and location. It's total BS but that's the game we're playing. So lets play it better than other people. And although Claire hasn't finished her profile she now ranks 3rd of out 33k FDs in the London Area. Yes, 3rd behind Christophe + Mark. Incredible! Claire also received a call for a role out of the blue yesterday. So if you're sat on the fence, focusing on your CV or thinking I'll do it tomorrow, I would encourage you to prioritise your LinkedIn profile 1st, CV 2nd and Interview Technique 3rd. Screen shot attached.

This week I'm sharing a key win for me :-) CIMA have invited me to host a virtual event in March talking about adapting finance recruitment for a changing world. So if any FCMA's wish to join please use the link below: https://aicpa.zoom.us/meeting/register/3iq3IrI3TKmoYmFt9wW6sw?#/registration
