Since 2023, I’ve led two cohorts per year, reaching over 100 members in total. Each 3-hour workshop covers:
– Mindset and confidence-building for LGBTQ+ individuals on LinkedIn
– Connection-building strategies rooted in psychological safety
– How to craft a standout profile that reflects identity and professionalism
– Content strategy and digital visibility tips
After the group sessions, I offer individual LinkedIn consultations for G.R.O.W. participants. These tailored sessions help clients—from nonprofit fundraisers to tech designers—align their profiles with evolving career goals while staying true to their values.
Their industries range from graphic design, fundraising, and NGOs to education.
These consultations provide personalized advice on how to reliably improve their profiles while balancing their day-to-day lives. LinkedIn is just a tool and not the end-all-be-all; it needs to work with people’s lives, and my clients understand that.
Here’s a look at some of the materials I developed for the TransTech G.R.O.W. LinkedIn workshop series. These slides, tailored specifically for trans and gender-diverse professionals, highlight key takeaways on personal branding, safety, profile optimization, and digital networking strategies. Each asset was designed to be both practical and affirming—centering real lives, not just job titles.
