In this interview for the Rising Resilient series, we welcome back Sophie Lechner, Business Strategist and LinkedIn Coach for Mission-Driven Entrepreneurs. Sophie shares her expertise on empowering entrepreneurs to build confidence in business, create meaningful connections, and develop resilience in their personal and professional journeys.
Drawing from her diverse background in corporate, legal, and cross-cultural fields, Sophie reveals how she helps business leaders navigate LinkedIn and enjoy marketing with her unique MAGNET Model. Her forthcoming book, due for publication next March, provides a roadmap for mission-driven entrepreneurs to achieve impact, income and independence by bringing the joy of their client-work into their marketing.
We discuss actionable strategies for mission-driven entrepreneurs to find their "golden thread" in brand positioning, align marketing efforts with personal values, and create a confident path to networking on LinkedIn and opening up those vital conversations and sales. You’ll take away some key tips on how to stay focused and overcome challenges while driving your purpose forward.
Sophie also delves into her own journey of resilience and offers practical advice on staying true to oneself while driving forward a purpose-driven business. Like myself, Sophie has been on LinkedIn since it launched 20 or so years ago, and had plenty of success with the platform. But it wasn’t until March of 2020 when she fully realised how much LinkedIn is a black box for most small business owners.
Tune in to gain insights on how mission-driven entrepreneurs can effectively connect, communicate, and lead with confidence, and discover the tools and mindset shifts that can transform your success path.
