Exciting BOLD news (and latest LinkedIn insights) in one email

Hi BOLDies,

I’ve been a little quiet as life has been HECTIC. I’m still trying to get comfortable running a business (as a first-timer) and am in the process of reshaping my business model. I also drove my car (12 hours) home to Ireland to sell it so I can finally commit to being here in Bristol full-time - yay to that.

The most exciting thing to share is that I’m launching my Becoming BOLD Bootcamp this week, where I’ll teach you everything I know about building your personal brand (and business) on LinkedIn. Having built an engaged community of 21k+ people, I was finally able to quit my job and start my business. Every single clients has come to me organically via LinkedIn (without any hard sell). I’ve always said - make the garden beautiful and they will come to you. I share free value, and make sure everyone knows what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. I currently get between 3-4 leads per week through my DMs (am even at the point where I’m missing messages so apologised if this is you but it’s a WIP). I started my business in November, (haven’t even officially launched it yet lol) and I’m already at capacity with 1:1 clients. This is also why I’m moving to the group model and I see how much value people get from connecting to other entrepreneurs on the same journey. You BOLDies get a 24 hour head-start to grab an early-bird spot (of which I’ve allocated 10) so grab ‘em while they’re hot!

In other exciting news, I ran my final ‘Her BOLD Self’ event of the series in the amazing Curve Club London and WOW was it wonderful. Here are the photos incase you missed it (download code: 1573 if you spot yourself and want to use the pics for some juicy LinkedIn content). I couldn’t actually believe that we had over 90 people join us! We had some incredibly talented speakers, including our headliner- Daisy Morris. I met Daisy when I spoke on a panel recently at LinkedIn HQ, and she’s honestly just SO fabulous and kind. We’ll definitely be doing more together, checkout this podcast where she is interviewed to learn TONS about community building. She’s actually on her way to Bristol as we speak and will join me tomorrow to record an episode for the Becoming BOLD Podcast, watch this space 😃 

Other insights for you BOLD LinkedIn Creators:

I’ve been reading the Edelmann X LinkedIn B2B Sales Report (and using it for some of my own content inspiration) I made you an AI podcast version here.

Also, it felt like this was impossible to get my hands on as they literally kept it behind a million different walls, but Chris Donnelly put together a 2025 LinkedIn algorithm report which is also worth a listen on via AI podcast.

I have to give a disclaimer though - people (especially the bros) will tell you with their chest that they know everything about the LinkedIn algorithm… when they absolutely don’t. Only the LinkedIn ML engineers (just about) know the truth, the others are often analysing different creator accounts (also valid and helpful). Just don’t be fooled.

Finally and randomly, I’ve been hyper-focussing a LOT on Richard Branson lately, because from a really young age I found him to be such an inspiration and a total badass. He made me feel hopeful when felt like a total failure because of how badly I did at school, and because I felt very different to everyone else. Richard is clearly a pretty affluent white guy - but he is Dyslexic and throws himself into things he doesn’t even understand. We desperately need more representation at the top - period. I loved this article about all of his failures (which are obviously a critical part of entrepreneurship for learning and improving).

Anyway - I’m working very hard in the background to create more inspiring entrepreneurs for neurodivergent and/or underrepresented folks. We deserve the bag and the freedom just as much as these billionaires, and it is possible for us too. We just have to build the right communities, create a mindset of BOLDness and abundance, and invest heavily in developing/nurturing/preserving ourselves.

Love you all,
