Biography

Without connection, impact is at risk. It isn’t just about connecting to the brand, stakeholders, clients and community, it starts with self. When we connect to our core values, align with our vision and give permission to express ourselves using our authentic voice, while leveraging our strengths we expand visibility, enhance credibility and earn influence, contributing a bigger impact in the world, in our organisation and community.

“Jo should be your go-to if you are looking at creating, building or better leveraging LinkedIn for your professional growth or career development.“ Mark Longman, Curtin University, WA Australia

Jo Saunders is on a quest to encourage ambitious individuals and change makers to get curious, get out of their comfort zone and confidently step into their personal brand. Discover how to use tools such as LinkedIn strategically for positioning, collaboration, engagement and thought leadership in alignment.
