Keynote Workshop: 'LinkedIn is not sexy and that’s why it works' by Alicia Teltz

- How to turn your LinkedIn into a 24/7 lead magnet. Opportunities chase YOU. Not the other way around.

Alicia left LinkedIn… because of LinkedIn… to build a business about LinkedIn. As an ex-LinkedIn insider, she knows the platform better than most, and she also knows the stigma: that it’s “cringe,” boring, or just a job board.

In this interactive, funny, and brutally honest session, Alicia shares how she walked away from her £200K LinkedIn role to climb the “cringe mountain” of visibility and turned her personal brand into a thriving business.

Expect a fresh take on why LinkedIn, of all platforms, might just be the most underrated brand-building tool of our time.

You’ll walk away knowing:

💡 How to build a magnetic personal brand that attracts clients, not just followers

💡 What actually performs on LinkedIn in 2025 (and what the algorithm

really wants)

💡 How to stand out in a feed drowning in AI-generated sameness

💡 How to post without sounding salesy, robotic, or cringe

💡 How to turn content into inbound leads, partnerships, and career opportunities
