The New Linkedin Profile: Love It or Hate It?

The New Linkedin Profile: Love It or Hate It?

by Jeff Hester · Dec 12, 2012

Back in October 2012, LinkedIn announced a redesigned profile page. They’ve been slowly rolling it out to users, and finally updated mine this week. What’s new in the new profile design?

TED 2012: Leap Day Highlights

by Jeff Hester · Mar 1, 2012

Leap year comes once every four years. But what to do with an extra 24 hours? This year I had the opportunity to spend Lead Day feeding my mind at a simulcast of the 2012 TED conference. I am a big fan of TED. The conference was started in 1984 by my first year architecture professor […]

Visualize Your Professional Network with InMaps
