In this episode, I chat with Professor Robert (Bob) Harris - also known as MADBob (Making a difference) - about his quite impressive journey on LinkedIn. Bob talks his social media literacy, what made him getting started on LinkedIn, and how he's used LinkedIn to share valuable insights on doctoral education and supervisor training.

We discuss the powerful impact his posts have had on a global audience, the art of storytelling, and how he’s built a vibrant community of like-minded professionals.

It’s a conversation about the unique role LinkedIn plays in sparking meaningful discussions and connecting academics worldwide. And it gives you some actionable tips on how YOU can get started on your own LinkedIn journey. May it be through content creation or simply engaging with others.

As always, if you have learnt something today please leave us a review, so others can find our podcast more easily.
