help you harness LinkedIn’s power so that you can show up in a professional

way, reach out to attorneys, and demonstrate your expertise.

My new LinkedIn Planner for LNCs is a packed guide that provides you with a 7-step process to start your LinkedIn Profile or get more out of your current profile and take advantage of LinkedIn’s opportunities for you to shine.

I kayaked for the first time after I turned 65.

The first time I went kayaking I discovered a Florida

that you cannot see from cars. In the process of learning how to kayak, I saw

parallels to growing a legal nurse consulting business.

In December 2015, a man from my church taught me how to kayak. Chris was encouraging, soothing and patient. His enthusiasm for kayaking made it easy for me to follow his lead. With him sitting behind me in a two-person kayak, I believed kayaking was easy. He made it look effortless.
