I started The LinkedBanker because I saw the struggle bankers had when it came to effectively using social media and leveraging online tools and strategies to build their personal brand online. Lets face it, banking has been around for forever and there are a lot of rooted traditions and perspectives on how to build relationships. It can be difficult to adopt and take advantage of the ever changing world of online, not to mention the compliance issues, privacy issues and security issues. 

It's no wonder that the online space has been pretty scary for bankers in the past. I wanted to create this safe space - a supportive community - filled with expertise and guidance to help you not only help your clients and serve your customers better, but also to help YOU - your personal brand and your career growth. There is no other community like this, and I feel strongly there is a significant need for one. 

Your experience within The LinkedBanker community will give you specific steps you can use online to build your brand and establish relationships that lead to new, longer-term and more profitable customers. I want to reduce your overwhelm anytime you wonder, what should I be doing and when should I be doing it. You no longer have to figure it all out on your own. 

I have a 15-year background in banking, which means all of the tips and advice I'm sharing in the community is specifically for bankers. This helps to ensure the steps you take in your social media efforts, building your personal brand, and connecting with your customers and clients will all still be in alignment with compliance, security and the culture of your bank.

I'm looking forward to watching this forum grow and evolve because let's face it, the Internet is going to always continue to grow and evolve and we all need to stay on top of things. Rather than feeling like you're having to play catch up or feeling like you have to do everything all at once, I'm here and this community is here to help you stay ahead of the curve. Finally I plan to make the online space not only effective and lucrative for you, but also to make it pretty dang fun!
