At #CMWorld, one of the vendors was taking professional headshots — so I jumped in.
And I’ve got to say… they made me look as good as they could! 😎 (And they were limited! No AI. No Filters. #Miracle! 😂 )
But here’s the real point: your profile picture is one of the fastest credibility checks people make when they land on your LinkedIn profile. It needs to be warm, real, inviting, professional … and most of all, RECENT!
A few quick stats:
✅ Profiles with a photo get up to 21X more profile views!
✅ You’re 9X more likely to receive connection requests
✅ A clear, professional photo can increase trust by 50%+
👉 My rule of thumb: update your profile pic once a year.
Why? Because I get a little grayer every year! 😄 #TrueStory
And if we meet in real life, I want you to actually recognize me.
Too many people let their photo get outdated — and your first impression shouldn’t be stuck in 2018.
When was the last time you updated yours?
