The LinkedIn Lion Tamer with Beth Kirk from Socially Oxford

It may be Winter Olympic season as I write this, and as we all know, you get absolutely nothing for seventh place in the Olympics. No medal. No flowers. Not even a commemorative tea towel.But here in the 'ClusterCast Games' we do things a little differently… and Beth is absolutely getting a medal. She brings the skills, the know-how and the quiet mastery of that mysterious dark art otherwise known as LinkedIn.Let’s be honest. For many of us, LinkedIn is either:A) the place we panic-visit when we need a joborB) the digital peacock enclosure where we politely announce we’ve been “honoured and humbled” to speak somewhere that involved a lanyard and a slightly dry pastry.But in this episode, Beth goes way beyond the humblebrag. She shares genuinely useful tips on how to tame the LinkedIn lion, how to show up with confidence, how to avoid sounding like a corporate robot, and how to make it actually work for your business instead of just feeding the algorithm and hoping for crumbs.As ever, The ClusterCast is all about discovering how brilliant indie businesses across Oxfordshire started, how the human behind the business makes it all happen. It’s real advice, genuine experiences, and proper conversation. No buzzwords required.Beth steps onto the podium in this one.
