• The etiquette on how to behave on LinkedIn
• And more!

ABOUT KEYNOTE SPEAKER:

Donna Serdula spent the first 10 years of her career in sales, operations, and training. She joined LinkedIn’s social network in 2005 where she promptly copied and pasted her resume and wondered what all the fuss was about. A job change in 2006 led her back to LinkedIn as she looked for tools to help her build a sales territory. It was during this time she had her LinkedIn epiphany and forged her LinkedIn 4 point methodology. By integrating LinkedIn into her sales process, she found amazing success.

In 2009, she walked away from her successful sales career and founded Vision Board Media and LinkedIn-Makeover.com. Her mission: To help people realize their Internet identity and shape one that makes an impact and leads to opportunity.

From that day on, Donna became the chief influencer, advocating and evangelizing the importance of taking control of your Internet identity. By presenting yourself in a way that inspires and builds confidence in your abilities, products, and services, you are shaping your future.

Let Donna help you build an online brand hiring managers and clients will notice, trust and want to engage with!
