Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!

Jeff Young is #TheLinkedInGuru.  For the past 13 years Jeff has been helping the global community to understand how to use LinkedIn as a powerful networking tool – by developing genuine relationships.  

I met Jeff on LinkedIn (of course!) as I was drawn to his warm and engaging style of posts.  When I discovered what a fascinating life he's led having made some amazing career changes and career reinventions, I knew I had to interview him for Your Career Podcast.

Before I share this wonderful interview with Jeff, if you are finding things a challenge in your own career and want professional career transition and career development support to create the career you know you deserve, find all you need in the CAREER SUCCESS PROGRAM at www.janejacksoncoach.com/academy

Now let’s introduce my very special guest, Jeff Young!

Prior to becoming The LinkedIn Guru, Jeff’s career took an interesting journey from project management to IT consulting and then human resources.  

He discovered that his unique technical and people skills were highly valued as the Director and Account Manager with Intellinex, an eLearning venture of Ernst & Young, where he lead and mentored thousands of professionals across numerous organisations.  

Upon retirement, Jeff knew that he was not ready for ‘retirement’ as most people know it. He began a new chapter of his life providing valuable volunteering work as teacher on all things LinkedIn for relationship development.  

He has been called #TheLinkedInGuru and he now regularly trains professionals on how to harness LinkedIn to network effectively.

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, Jeff travelled the world in his corporate career, working 70-80 hours per week.  

Now, in his chosen field as a teacher of LinkedIn, he has created the ideal ‘second career’ with the wonderful balance of ‘work’ (he doesn’t think of it as work as he has found his ‘why’), relationship development, friends and family. 

Jeff is part of Shelly Elsliger’s #decidetobekind club (of which I am also a member) and together they encourage all to share kindness and support across the LinkedIn platform.

Listen to this fascinating story from a warm and wonderful gentleman who loves to connect over a coffee, a conversation or chocolate!
