Mets fans, an all new episode is here! This week Mike and I are joined once again by former Mets radio broadcaster Josh Lewin to recap the Mets unlikely series win against the Braves in Atlanta, Max Scherzer‘s impact on the mound and in the dugout, Francisco Lindor‘s stellar season so far, Sandy Alderson’s comments about the Mets need for a designated hitter, the upcoming All-Star game, Jacob deGrom‘s road back to Flushing, and more! With deGrom seemingly close to his major league return, how will the Mets look to manage their long-awaited ace (who’s also going to opt-out at the end of this season?) According to Lewin, If the two-time Cy Young award winner says he feels good down the stretch, then let him ride: “It’s going to be very tough down the stretch not to just ride the heck out of Jake if he says that he feels good. But first things first, lets see how he actually performs although I think he’ll perform just fine…I guess I’m just curious to see what it looks like in mid to late August, I’m sure (deGrom) knows that the Mets will only expect him to throw about 80 pitches or 5…

Photo: AnaLysiSStudiO (Shutterstock)One of LinkedIn’s most notoriously annoying features is its insistence on snitching. Anytime you visit a person’s profile on LinkedIn, the site lets that person know, which goes against most other social media platforms’ philosophy of, “Sure, check out their page—they’ll never know.” LinkedIn tries to sell you on the fact that it works both ways: Yes, you tell on yourself whenever you look at someone’s profile, but you also see when someone looks at yours. I’m sure this transparency is meant to build professional networks and give you insight into what types of professionals are looking at your skills, but sometimes, you want to learn more about another professional without them knowing.Maybe you’re taking a moment to research the person conducting your job interview, or maybe you’re curious about your boss’ experience, but a notification that you’ve snooped their page invites more questions than you feel like answering. In any case, there’s no reason to keep your browsing open to all if you don’t want to.How to browse LinkedIn privatelyLinkedIn actually has a few different transparency modes you can choose from when viewing other user’s profiles. To access them, log in, then click your profile (under “Me”)…

While 46pc of entry roles in Ireland are held by women, this falls below 25pc for both VP and C-suite level according to LinkedIn and WEF data. Women in Ireland remain underrepresented at leadership level and are less likely to be promoted to leadership roles than men. That’s according to new data released by LinkedIn and the World Economic Forum (WEF). The data on Ireland showed that just under one quarter (24pc) of C-suite positions in Ireland are held by women. On a global level, women hold less than one third of leadership positions. According to the WEF’s Global Gender Gap report 2022, it will take another 132 years to close the gender gap. In Ireland, LinkedIn and the WEF’s data revealed that women are more underrepresented at managerial and senior levels. At entry level, 46pc of roles in Ireland are held by women. Climbing up the seniority ladder, the share of Irish women holding manager roles drops slightly to 42pc, before falling to below 25pc for both VP and C-suite level. The data also suggests that men in Ireland are 15pc more likely to receive internal promotions to leadership roles than women. While this is a negative finding, Ireland…

Do you look at LinkedIn’s People Also Viewed section on your profile? If not you should! It gives you a treasure trove of information on who LinkedIn thinks is in your competitive set and/or peer group or who have similar profiles/backgrounds to yours. If you have this feature enabled on your profile, it will show a list of profiles of people that viewers of your profile have also viewed. While the people in People Who Viewed can change each week, it can be a useful indicator to gauge whether your LinkedIn brand is what you want it to be. Note that you have no direct control over who shows up there, LinkedIn determines it algorithmically, based on the viewing habits of your viewers. It is solely based on who else your viewers view besides you. The people at the top of the list have the most views by people who have also looked at the profile you’re viewing. You can remove this section from your profile from the desktop version. LinkedIn has gotten it totally right when it comes to me, as there’s a mix of people I personally know and who do the same sort of work I do…

One of the biggest mistakes I made when I first started posting updates on LinkedIn was not having an actual LinkedIn social media strategy. I used to post content on a whim whenever I had an idea. The problem with that is that sometimes my content was all over the place in terms of topics, timing, and approach. What I posted often resonated with my network, but it wasn’t intentional or strategic. And it took me a lot of time to create the posts, so it wasn’t efficient for me either. I may have gotten a lot of likes on some of these posts but if they didn’t support my business goals, they really weren’t strategic. What I learned to do (and now what I teach my clients to do as well) is to create content with purpose and intention. Some people think LinkedIn is just a B2B business platform but its power is so much stronger than that. It’s an incredibly effective way for businesses to reach consumers/customers (B2C). With only 4% of people actually consistently posting on LinkedIn, and the platform being a free place to do so, you should create a LinkedIn strategy, and I have an easy five-step process…

New Delhi: Netizens have applauded a woman who recently posted sex work as an experience on professional networking platform LinkedIn. US-based Arielle Egozi, with nearly 10,000 followers, was praised by internet users for her courage and breaking the taboo. Egozi shared that she “left an in-house job with fancy benefits two weeks ago and the reason I could do that was sex work”. “Sex work shows me what my power can do when i own it intentionally,” she said, adding “I set and hold boundaries, and engage only in ways that are safe, playful, and abundant for me.” Egozi said that because people have time and again stated that sex work is different from any “other client work”, she thought of putting it up as a profession on LinkedIn. “Not only is my new standard for incoming creative clients that they be at least half as respectful, generous, and grateful as the John Does online – but that anyone who I partner with celebrates and accepts every experience as one I will inevitably bring with me into a project.” She said she charges “exorbitant amounts” and also for the “emotional labour” and that she has “no problem taking rejections from those…

As news of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe’s assassination spread, tributes gushed forth from the social media accounts and websites of presidents, prime ministers, monarchs, diplomats and business leaders. President Biden went so far as to order that flags be flown at half-staff to honor Abe, described by the president as a “proud servant of the Japanese people and a faithful friend to the United States.” It was an exceptional tribute to the deceased leader of a U.S. ally.
