About the author

Originally from Adelaide in South Australia and now living in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, my full time 11 year corporate career started in banking just six days after my last secondary school exam. I haven’t had a ‘real job’ since that ended in 1994.
As a life-long learner by choice, I completed part-time university studies in 2000 and have been attending up to four events per week ever since.
My extensive analogue and digital knowledge, skills and networks have been developed through values-aligned professional, pro bono and voluntary work.
I am the Founder of two social enterprises, Newcomers Network (2001 – now) and Camberwell Network (2012 – 2022).
I joined LinkedIn in 2003 (member number 77,832). I started consulting and training on LinkedIn in 2008. Since 2016, I have written and published five non-fiction books and my next two will be poetry books.
I have been featured on a 2022 list of LinkedIn Experts and have provided professional services to a range of local and international clients.
I am regularly quoted in the media on the topics of LinkedIn, careers, gigsters, business, social media, marketing, networking and being a newcomer.
As a gigster, I use technology to attract aligned gigs and I won’t be stopping anytime soon. I am always looking for one new thing to do every month!
After hours, I enjoy catching up with family and friends, going for long walks and five rhythms dancing. 💃

I met Sue in a class we were both taking, where she was quickly generous enough to spontaneously share some LinkedIn tips. Based on the value of that alone, I rushed to find her book, "120 Ways to Achieve Your Purpose with LinkedIn" -- and my gosh, what a treasure that was to find! I was part of the early pack to sign up for LinkedIn waaaaay back in December 2003, but honestly -- never really used it to its full potential. Working through Sue's book, I picked up numerous valuable tips, with clear explanations and rationale as to WHY they were helpful. So it wasn't just a case of her saying "do this" -- she included clear explanations of how and why her recommendations made sense. I was super-excited to see just what sort of improvements I could make based on her advice. The book advises readers to find 20 tips they could immediately put to use in their profile -- I assure you, I found far more than 20!
