Career Management

Unlock your potential

Career Management Services

Hello, my name is Karen Hollenbach. I teach Australian professionals in the mid and board stage of their career how to manage their professional reputation and network effectively using tools like LinkedIn. Services I offer include a LinkedIn Health Check and virtual mentoring to help you work out a plan, build momentum and learn how to connect better with your professional community.

Learning to navigate LinkedIn effectively requires a well thought out approach. How well you maximise LinkedIn will be influenced by your mindset and knowledge. And that’s where I come in.

Getting Started with your Career Management Plan and LinkedIn

There’s a few ways to get started with your LinkedIn presence. Taking your next step requires a small dose of courage. As an ambivert (someone who’s in the middle of the introvert-extrovert continuum) I can experience the discomfort associated with self promotion. The key to how I teach you to maximise LinkedIn is based on a professional mindset that’s less about bragging and posting content and more about learning to connect meaningfully and genuinely with your professional community.

LinkedIn Health Check

Some client’s begin their journey with me by booking a LinkedIn Health Check. In this session we discuss your professional goals and I review your LinkedIn profile and make recommendations for improvements. At this point, some clients engage me to write their LinkedIn profile.

There’s also the option to write your own profile with my LinkedIn Profile Essentials online course, but most of my clients prefer to leave the LinkedIn profile writing to me! 

Ongoing Mentoring

If you’ve been working with a Career Coach or Mentor, or have invested in professional development programs with organisations such as Women on Boards or the Australian Institute of Company Directors, you’re probably clear about your career goals, where you are heading and the role you’d like LinkedIn to play in this. If that’s the case, I recommend my LinkedIn Health Check or my Concierge Professional Profile writing service.

However, if most of your thoughts about your career plans are concepts you are yet to talk through in detail or map out properly with a Mentor, I recommend you consider my Career Consultation service., and if we’re a good fit, we can explore ongoing mentoring to support your career plans
