Lynnaire Johnston, LinkedIn Guru from wordwizard.co.nz on her latest best seller, the importance of a company page, dressing up and clay hillsides‪.‬ I interviewed 162 women during one year of COVID by Erin Keam

    • Entrepreneurship

Lynnaire Johnston is a Dunedin-based LinkedIn expert, ranked No.1 in the country and the author of two books on the subject. She runs Word Wizard, a communications consultancy focusing on LinkedIn marketing.

Lynnaire started out as a reporter, news reader and announcer for Radio Hauraki. She worked in radio both here and overseas in the early part of her career but went on to feature writing and editor roles in the beauty, not-for-profit, and - however unlikely - automotive industries. She's interviewed many famous, interesting and successful people but on balance prefers the stories of how everyday Kiwis and those in her LinkedIn network overcome the challenges in their lives.

When not on LinkedIn, Lynnaire can be found in her steep hillside garden which she has created from scratch in just three years.

About Erin Keam

Erin Keam is a Kiwi living in Seattle who works with women solopreneurs to create their ideal life and achieve their vision. She combines her 23 years’ experience mentoring and being mentored in the recovery field with her career in marketing, film, media, TV, advertising, real estate and customer service (and a passion for fashion) to be a trusted source for solutions to what is getting between you and the life you want.

She offers two paths to progress. One is her unique LifeStyle Statement sessions, in which women uncover their personal themes which are distilled into a one-of-a-kind Statement which can then be taken to every area of their life from wardrobe to relationships to their business to their career and their home.

The other are her “pressure relief” mini-intensives where the focus is on moving closer to your vision through exploring and tackling personal and marketing issues which are keeping you stuck, whether clarifying your website’s message to your clients, looking at how you spend your time and money, decluttering (mental and physical), dressing as who you want to be, assessing the first impression your media and home office make on your ideal clients and creating action plans to get you the life you want.

When she’s not doing this, she’s interviewing women entrepreneurs on her podcast Conversations About Closets With My Closet 1000 Friends, about what they do, why and what they love about it, with one or two questions in there about clothing (there’s that passion for fashion!). Female-identifying (or non-binary) and want to be a guest? Book here!

You can find out more on her website erinkeam.comShe would love to connect with you on Instagram or LinkedIn or Facebook.

Hey, Koa Club members! Something getting between you and your goals? Often, all we need is someone to hold space while we talk through what’s keeping us stuck and the solution presents itself. Book a Talk it Out Call here with Erin. If you want an action step, she’ll suggest one.
