December 16, 2021 23. Overcoming Bullying, Linked In Connection & Firewalking With Shelly Elsliger
Shelly Elsliger is a ball of positivity....we talk about so much in this podcast, but here's a bit about her:
WHO AM I?
Not your typical LinkedIn Trainer that is for sure!
I focus on Social Reciprocity as a way for you to WIN ON LINKEDIN!
It is very important to have an optimized LinkedIn Story but it will be your belief in your story, how you pay it forward, and how you tap into a market who will want to read it – so much so that they will keep returning for more and more…I did not inherit the title LinkedIn CKO (Chief Kindness Officer) for nothing. My goal is to help you build a globally supportive community on LinkedIn where your LinkedIn relationship building skills shine and your kindness builds trust.
The time is NOW to blaze your unique trail, create LinkedIn “AHA” moments, and revolutionize how you and your team own your space, tell your unique and individualized stories, approach LinkedIn as a unified and supportive team, do what you need to do to become thought leaders, and approach LinkedIn like a BOSS and be ready to say, I am ready for a mindset “SHIFT” to happen!
I have spread LinkedIn Goodness in well over 400 (workshops, talks, keynotes) for executive teams, associations, departments, entrepreneurs, job seekers, special groups, and for amazing women leaders!
I have two signature workshops: LinkedIn in High Heels: Rise Up and Lead Online. It is all about kicking imposter to the curb and creating a transition for women leaders to Lead-IN, Listen-IN, Link-IN, and become IN-fluential leaders online. The POWER of your LinkedIn Story and Social Reciprocity takes you on a journey of finding out what success looks like on LinkedIn and how you are going to get yourself there.
I am a certified Coach, member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), A women of Inspiration Winner, a Forbes Writer, and on the list of globally recognized LinkedIn experts.
My diverse experience as a professional LinkedIn Trainer and Coach allows me to bring a unique breadth of knowledge, as well as an aspect of fun and passion, to all my workshops and talks. This is very important because you should be enjoying your LinkedIn journey.
“LinkedIn is no longer and option, it is a must stop shop for professionals who want an amazing tool that will support their transition into professional greatness”

October 14, 2021 #21 Policing Communities And Bridging Gaps With Toronto Police Officer Dale Swift
Kwesi sits down with Toronto Police Officer Dale Swift, to discuss policing communities and bridging the gap.
It is no secret that policing isn’t the most popular career choice these days. From being unfairly and broadly painted as bad apples, to being attacked and insulted, to officers opting for early retirement due to stress and mental health issues all over North America, it is no wonder that fewer people are choosing this as a job.
However, being a former police officer myself, I know the rewards of doing the job. It is not just about saving lives. Police officers help communities, heal families, and give people hope. That is exactly what my guest on the RISE podcast, Toronto Police Officer Dale Swift, is doing. From his empowering and vulnerable posts on his popular Instagram page (tpswiftd), to his work with not only his city, but the black community, he is an officer that is not only doing the badge proud, but truly making a difference in his city.
