I write this reflection every year (now for 12 years!) on the LinkedIn changes and ideas I deem most worthy of comment.

Any day is a good day to give thanks but with Thanksgiving Day 2024 coming, I have accumulated these top 6 things to be thankful for (and I hope you agree), sent to you two a day the week of Thanksgiving:

First, thanks, LinkedIn, for providing a global workspace where over 1 billion professionals can share ideas, information, articles, and interact better every year. The market is deep, educated, and progressive. I’m gratified to coach 1:1, train groups, and collaborate over strategic marketing projects to make LinkedIn work seamlessly among other marketing strategies. Challenging situations accepted! Let’s grow together!

Serializing this, part 2 of 3:

3. Thanks to my over 3800 connections and over 15 thousand followers. Wow! Really, wow, you hold me accountable and I appreciate that challenge!!

4. Thanks, everyone for continuing to keep the discussion on LinkedIn nontoxic and nonpolitical in an increasingly polarized tribal world. It’s a credit to our professional community that we maintain such high quality and appropriate business conduct in the global LinkedIn conversation. Join me in calling down political noise on LinkedIn, please, because it’s only going to get more noxious in 2025, especially after November 2024.
