Some of the most requested PDP topics have been around LinkedIn visibility, networking, and how to navigate today’s highly competitive job market more effectively. We’ve heard your feedback, and we’re excited to invite you to two upcoming online thematic sessions designed to address exactly those challenges.

These sessions will be led by Sonal Bahl, Career Strategist and Founder of Supercharge.

Both sessions are designed to provide practical, strategic insights for professionals looking to strengthen their visibility, positioning, and professional connections.

Common positioning mistakes that dilute credibility and discoverability
How to optimize headlines, About sections, Skills, and Experience for both search visibility and senior-level positioning
Live LinkedIn profile audits demonstrating small but powerful improvements that can increase visibility and recruiter engagement

This session will be practical, strategic, and grounded in what is actually working in today’s market — not generic LinkedIn advice.
