What our clients say

"A fantastic introduction to LinkedIn. It makes getting started with online networking clear and easy!"
Kate Senter, Internal Communications Manager, Irwin Mitchell

"Very interesting and useful - would highly recommend as an introduction to LinkedIn"
Nigel Moss, Partner, Hurst and Company Accountants LLP

"Following the "LinkedIn For Beginners" seminar in early May, I had the opportunity to travel to a professional conference in St. John's, Newfoundland. I am currently unemployed and attended the conference alone. Your emphasis on the importance of networking really "lit a fire under me" when I wanted to retreat. I was able to approach a number of highly intimidating people and had truly fruitful conversations. I have since made a number of new contacts on LinkedIn as a result of the conference. Thank you for your expertise! "
Susan Joe, Collections Management Specialist

"A comprehensive overview of the basics of LinkedIn, Will Kintish walks novice and intermediate users alike through the minefield of options required to set up an effective LinkedIn profile. Will draws on his own hands-on experience to steer new users away from the pitfalls easily encountered in the early days of using LinkedIn and takes you that little bit further than others with similar experience to yourself."
Matthew Miles, FBC Manby Bowdler

"If you are scared/too old/out of date/behind the times/technophobic I strongly recommend attending one of Kintish's seminars on LinkedIn."
Darrell Matthews, Institute of Directors
