How to Get Recognised on LinkedIn: The Missing Piece in Your Strategy
October 7, 2025
Why Recognition Is the Missing Piece in Your LinkedIn Strategy (and How to Fix It)
Most women I speak to are brilliant at what they do. They’re experienced, talented, and committed to their work.
But here’s the problem: brilliance alone doesn’t open doors. Recognition does.
On LinkedIn — and in your career or business — being recognised for your expertise is what attracts opportunities, clients, and credibility. Without it, you risk being overlooked, no matter how skilled you are.
The Recognition Gap
Maybe this sounds familiar:
You hold back from posting because it feels like “boasting.”
You downplay your wins, hoping someone else will notice.
You see others getting speaking invites, promotions, or clients — and wonder why it’s not happening for you.
It’s not because you’re less capable. It’s because you’re less visible.
And if you’re invisible, opportunities can’t find you.
Why Recognition Matters on LinkedIn
LinkedIn isn’t just an online CV. It’s your shop window.
Recognition on LinkedIn looks like:
A profile that positions you as credible and approachable.
Posts that showcase your expertise in a way that feels authentic, not cringey.
A consistent presence that builds trust over time.
When you put those elements together, LinkedIn becomes a magnet for opportunities you may not have even imagined — from job offers to partnerships, speaking invitations to client leads.
How to Start Building Recognition
If you’re ready to move from overlooked to undeniable, here are three simple shifts you can make today:
Reframe “boasting” as “sharing value.” When you talk about your achievements, focus on the impact you made — who you helped, what changed, what difference it created.
Show up consistently. Visibility compounds. Even one thoughtful post a week is better than disappearing for months.
Tell your story. People connect with people, not job titles. Share your journey, lessons, and insights — not just polished outcomes.

Final Thought
Recognition isn’t about ego. It’s about creating opportunities for yourself and making sure your work has the visibility it deserves.
Because when you’re recognised, you’re remembered.
And when you’re remembered, doors open.
