Members Workshop One: Building your profile: LinkedIn and beyond – Americas
14 May 2026 3:30pm – 5.00pm CLT / EDT
Being visible to the right people in the right places
Who are the influencers in your country and sector, and how do you become one? This workshop helps you think strategically about where to invest time to build your profile and network, with optimising your LinkedIn as a practical starting point. You will review and improve your own profile, hear what is working for other researchers, and leave with a personal task list for the next 30 days.
You will come away with…
- A refreshed LinkedIn profile
- A four-week visibility mini action plan
- Practical tips on LinkedIn content, posting, and reach
- A picture of the broader visibility landscape: podcasts, blogs, working groups, conferences and a personal goal for the coming quarter
This workshop is one of seven in RESET’s Communications for Influence programme, running May–October 2026. We intend to repeat these courses in 2027. The programme was developed from research with MCET members identifying the skills that matter most for building research influence.
Each session is practical and immediately applicable. You will work with your own research and leave with something you can act on. After each workshop, participants join a shared peer community for ongoing feedback and collaboration. Complete any four workshops, including the capstone, to earn a RESET Communications Certificate. The workshops are free to all RESET members.
