Biography
Anita Windisman is the President of One of a Kind Marketing. She has over 18 years of experience in sales and marketing, with the last 14 focused in the online sector - and has worked with and for major corporations as, Quebecor World, Toronto Hydro and Royal LePage Levi Strauss Canada.
An avid blogger and Tweeter, Anita holds an MBA from the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto and is the author of the book Business Lessons I Learned from Barbie. Why a book about Barbie? A role model for every successful modern woman, Barbie dares to dream big. She can do anything, and shows that with passion and determination you can do anything too! She is an inspiration because she has a vast network of friends and contacts alike, and loves what she does.
In my career as a digital marketer and strategist, I have always been passionate about embracing new technology. On the personal side, I’m a great connector and giver who enjoys networking, meeting new people and cultivating relationships. What better way then, to combine my two great interests - networking and the internet – by training business professionals on how to use LinkedIn.
Why LinkedIn? For the past few years, I have been offering friends and work colleagues advice about how they can improve their LinkedIn profile and use it for business. One colleague I was training on LinkedIn told me that she got so much out of our sessions that I should offer it as a service. From the time she said that, to the time I booked my first LinkedIn training client was 3 weeks – proving to me that there is a need for LinkedIn training!
I now specialize in providing LinkedIn training for business professionals who seek to grow their practices or customer base using online tools. Whether you are a business professional such as an accountant, lawyer, engineer, marketer, senior executive, or if you are in a business development role, I can definitely show you how you can master LinkedIn for business success.
I am now the "go-to" LinkedIn expert among my peers and clients. Just a few of the labels I have been called by colleagues and customers alike are: The LinkedIn Expert, LinkedIn Guru, The LinkedIn Lady, and The Networking Ninja, to name a few.
If you are serious about learning how to use LinkedIn to grow your professional practice or customer base, do feel free to reach out to tell me about your business development needs.
