Course overview

Get visible on LinkedIn without sacrificing your authenticity or nuance.

You’re a deep thinker. You have valuable expertise and insights, but it’s frustrating when you can’t seem to get that LinkedIn visibility breakthrough.


It shouldn’t be this hard for someone with your level of experience and knowledge to be seen as an authority and attract the right clients.


I know the feeling.


I launched my first business on Instagram while running a blog. Getting clients felt like pulling teeth, and every month I hoped referrals would sustain me. But Instagram’s highly visual style wasn’t aligned with my strengths: teaching, frameworks, and storytelling.


When I started publishing long-form ideas and insights on LinkedIn, everything changed. I got the traction I had craved, and soon I was consistently selling my high-ticket services.


Today, I run a successful LinkedIn business working with some of the smartest experts in their fields, professionals with Ivy League Degrees & PhDs, agency pedigrees, and world-class careers, who are now building businesses of their own.


My work helps them get the visibility they deserve.


When I look back, my success came from building a repeatable system:


→ Widening my audience so new people found my work

→ Nurturing connections through niche-specific content

→ Showcasing transformations so clients reached out directly


That’s the system I’ll teach you inside this course.


One client, a fractional executive with a sales and client retention background, was posting random event recaps and occasional insights. Nothing stuck. Once she had a clear system for:


→ Capturing her expert advice,

→ Credibly sharing her professional background, and

→ Publishing social proof content…


Everything changed. She went from invisible to consistently landing high-ticket, inbound opportunities.

What people are saying

        As a recovering perfectionist my goal was simply to publish content. By just doing the BARE MINIMUM of what Molly taught my LinkedIn metrics went up compared to the previous 28 days: +2261% impressions, +5346% members reached, +30% new followers, 3 calls scheduled off LinkedIn. This immediate reward gave me the motivation to keep going on LinkedIn.

        My content wasn't getting seen by my target network & I didn't know what to write. This cohort was the perfect mix of learning & experimenting, I appreciated teachings on storytelling + sales 2 areas I've shied from. I posted 3 of my best performing posts of the year, enrolled 27 new newsletter subscribers on 1 post, had my 2nd best revenue month.

        The materials in the cohort were SO helpful. My posts have gained so much more traction. Even the {top exec at the company} sent me a connect request on LinkedIn. My post impressions have increased nearly 200% compared to before & everyday I’m getting new followers - esp some well-known names in the field who are now liking & engaging w/ my content
