 One of the most boring tasks in the world is to read the Linkedin profiles of your connections. They are full of jargon and overloaded with information, lengthy recommendations & everything else that can bore you to death. Even the summary of many a profile has the potential to give you a headache.

 To ensure that your Linkedin profile tells a captivating story, the following points need to be kept in mind:-

  1. The Headline
  2. Profile Summary
  3. Show your Human side
  4. Add loads of Energy
  5. Add Playfulness, if possible
  6. Integrate the Story of your Organisation
  7. Be You
  8. The Emotional Connect of story

Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her.

We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed.
