From LinkedIn Frustration to Strategic Success: Coralie Hudson's LinkedIn Journey
Client: Coralie Hudson, Fundraising Manager. Wyre Forest & South Worcestershire Nightstop and Mediation Service
Programme: LinkedIn Power Hours
Background: Unseen on LinkedIn
Meet Coralie Hudson, passionate fundraiser at Wyre Forest & South Worcestershire Nightstop and Mediation. While her team skilfully engaged supporters on Facebook and Instagram, LinkedIn remained a puzzle. Coralie knew her charity had incredible stories and impact, but the right audience simply wasn't finding them on LinkedIn.
"We have been successful with engagement on Facebook and Instagram but much less so on LinkedIn. It made me feel frustrated as we are an amazing charity and I want more people to know about our services and engage with us."
Seeking Help: Enter Esther
Driven by a desire for her charity to shine on every platform, Coralie looked for expert support. She connected with Esther, a LinkedIn coach renowned for her practical and positive approach.
Coralie’s goals were clear:
- Learn how to use LinkedIn strategically
- Gain more confidence, visibility, and potential support
- Develop new content and engagement ideas
The Turning Point: A New Approach to LinkedIn
Working with Esther was nothing short of transformative. Coralie and Esther focused on:
- A profile makeover to clearly showcase the charity’s mission and value
- Building content ideas for more authentic storytelling
- Unlocking engagement strategies to connect with supporters and industry peers
One of the biggest revelations? LinkedIn success is simpler and more accessible than Coralie ever thought:
"That it is so simple, it is just about knowing how! Esther is great at explaining things and is so positive."
She learned actionable techniques, like “ringing the bell” to keep on top of important connections and stay visible in her network.
Renewed Confidence and Clear Plans
Not only did Coralie walk away with a practical plan and “homework” to boost LinkedIn activity, but she also gained a genuine sense of optimism about her charity’s digital future:
Feeling positive and prepared with a clear plan
Increased confidence to implement new strategies
Excitement for the positive results that will follow
Coralie recently received the High Sheriff of Worcestershire Award, and now she’s poised to celebrate future wins directly connected to her LinkedIn growth.
Coralie’s Biggest Lesson
“How to make the most of my profile and use it as a tool to outline why people should connect and work with me.”
She’s eager to “just do it,” motivated by Esther’s knowledge and infectious enthusiasm.
Words for Others
For anyone struggling with LinkedIn invisibility, Coralie’s advice rings out:
