- →Use LinkedIn and community events as practice grounds, not pressure tests.
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
Send one cold LinkedIn message this week. Use the structure: "Hi [name], I'm working toward [specific goal] and I noticed you've done [specific thing]. Would you be open to a 15-minute conversation about how you got there? I'd appreciate any insight." That's the entire script.
