Dear Sue,

I'm so happy to share that I updated my LinkedIn and used several of your suggestions. Thank you so much! I do have one follow-up question for you. Now that I've updated my profile, do you recommend making a post to share more about my career change? 

Dear Pat,

I’m so happy that you found our workshop useful.  And thanks for sending the link to your new profile. Now it looks so much more like you!  You work fast!  Love your background image.

To answer your question, when you updated your profile, if you set your settings to notify your network, then the message is out there.  I don’t think you need a separate announcement.  However, you could start contacting people in your network, asking them if they’d be interested in a re-connecting/touching-base phone call and tell them a little more of the story in person.  They will feel more special and you will make a stronger impression.

Can’t wait to hear more of the progress you’re making in building your new business!

Best Wishes for terrific success!
