Review\n''This book will open up a new world of possibilities that will make any executive who reads it even savvier. After all, your network is your net worth.'' - Jeffrey Hayzlett, Chairman & CEO of the C-Suite Network 
''Carol has a gift for combining strategy with action. Her clear discussion of the ''ins and outs'' of LinkedIn create the why it is important. BUT, she doesn't stop there. She answers the ''so what does this mean for me and what do I do next?'' I also appreciate her on-going commitment to provide updated information through her LinkedIn articles and training. Her commitment to what she does, and who she is, is clear in reading this book and her on-going resources.'' - Cheryl Leitschuh, ED.D., President, Leitschuh Leadership Consulting; President, Straight Talk for Smart Business Women; Author of Straight Talk for Smart Business Women: Critical Tools to Build and Grow Your Business 
''I remember when LinkedIn was new: its purpose was business networking, and it still is. We all do things with and through people. Carol shares the power that can come from this. I thought I knew a great deal about LinkedIn; I use it daily: posting, checking people's profiles, quick research, etc. But LinkedIn's rules keep changing and the nuances are forgotten and need to be remembered. This book teaches everyone, from the novice to the expert, about the importance of a strong profile and maintaining your presence. Listen to Carol's advice she is a rock star in this area. (By the way, I made easy but impactful changes while reading the book because she makes the how-to's easy to implement.) This book is a MUST READ. Frequently review it and have it available to give to friends and colleagues.'' - David Magy, Principal at Abeln, Magy, Underberg & Associates 
''If you are an executive, a new leader, a new entrepreneur or someone in transition, this book is for you! Carol does a masterful job of walking you through everything you need to know to create a stunning LinkedIn profile or to put real meat on the bones of a bare one. With its To-Do Lists at the end of every chapter and the final Checklists at the end of the book, nothing is left undone. The book is approachable and action-oriented to make the most of your time and get you the LinkedIn profile you always dreamed of having! Kudos, Carol, on this latest edition!'' - Margaret Ricci, MBA, CEO, Cultural Strategies, LLC and Chapter Director, Twin Cities COO Forum 
''I love LinkedIn for the Savvy Executive! As an executive recruiter, I meet many professionals who are in between jobs or looking to make a change and I refer all of them to Carol Kaemmerer's book. LinkedIn for the Savvy Executive is comprehensive, easy to read and actionable. Every professional should read it, build an amazing on-line profile and leverage their profile to enhance their personal and professional brand.'' --Paula Norbom, Founder & President, Talencio recruiting and staffing company in the Health Technology Community\n''I highly recommend Carol Kaemmerer's book as THE go-to resource for the busy executive interested in leveling up their branding and professional image. LinkedIn for the Savvy Executive provides not only the logic and rationale about why branding matters, but also a useful guide to making it happen. This resource provides a roadmap that even the busiest of professionals will have time to follow, breaking out next steps and recommendations.'' - Stacy Johnston, Esq/. SHRM-CP PHR, Providing HR Training and Solutions at Audacity Human Resource Solutions 
''Carol continues to educate on how to leverage LinkedIn for professionals. I find her expert advice to be exceptional. Every time I read something from her, I quickly implement what she recommends. This book hits the mark again and I know it will have a positive impact on my LinkedIn profile and the results I'm looking for.'' - Mary Jacobs, MA, Director, The Center for Sales Innovation, St. Catherine University
