Jasmin Alić

Trained 56,289 people how to use LinkedIn for business

Are you struggling to find your voice on LinkedIn? To position yourself as the "go-to" authority in your industry?

Better yet...

Struggling to get "seen" or "heard" by your ideal customers? Same ones you KNOW you can actually help?

If you've been nodding along until here, congrats!

Looks like we might be the perfect fit!

Hi, my name is Jasmin.

Most people here know me as Jay from Hey Jay.

So far, I've worked 1-1 with 200+ amazing individuals who've skyrocketed their content, profile growth, and business on LinkedIn in record time.

🔥 "$15K USD 24 hours after my 1st session with Jay. Before that, I was close to losing hope and shutting down my business" - Nada Buhendi, F500 Career Coach

In the last 3 years on LinkedIn...

I've built the fastest-growing coaching business for solopreneurs and C-Suite individuals. 

Before that...

I spent 15 years writing online and branding companies and individuals. From Fortune 500 elite like Microsoft, Digicel, and Marriot Bonvoy to founders and C-Suites from almost every industry imaginable.

🔥 "Everyone needs a Jasmin Alić on their team. We've achieved 20% incremental revenue growth in the first 7 days of working together!" - Jack Bourke, Digicel

My offer to you?

We “put in the work”. Together. I will respect your time and your business, and I expect the same in return. 

My calls aren't "magical" because I do everything for you. No. 

They're magical because I will show you exactly what needs to be done. Every little tip, click and "algo hack" - yours for the taking.

I've spent 1,000+ days here.
I've written 5,000+ posts here.
I've coached 200+ individuals 1-1.
I've trained over 50,000+ online here.

I've put in the work, so you don't have to.

To put it bluntly...

I'm putting all of my 15 years of experience on the line for you and combining it with my deep understanding of this amazing platform. 

I don't need your money. I need you to win.

🔥 "This was the first call with a LinkedIn guru that I got on where there was actual value and alignment in delivery at the end of the call. It was strategy, action and reflection. Absolute value! No fluff all impact!" - Archita Fritz

3 ways we can work together:

1. Power Hour - 1 hour, ask me anything
2. Brand Blueprint Program - 8-week 1-1 coaching
3. My Link Up Community - my private coaching group
4. My free content - learn for $0 on LinkedIn, IG or YouTube

Thanks for reading up until here. You are amazing!

❤️

Copywriter and Brand Strategist

“How do I share my story?”
“What if nobody reads it?”
“What if nobody likes it?”

These are legitimate concerns for any brand.

Whether you're a company or personal brand...

How you show up in your content is everything.

- You want to be clear in your writing
- You want to be strong in your execution
- You want to be remembered for your service

To do so, you need good copy and a great strategy.

I help brands like Dash, Digicel, Marriott Bonvoy, and Microsoft "sweeten" their brand messaging and content strategy. 

Fortune 500 companies.
Fastest-growing companies.
Personal brands with high net worth.

They trust me with their candy. Will you?

Need a great website? 
Need to grow on LinkedIn? 
Need to (re)position your brand?

Say "Hey Jay" in a message and let's chat.

If I had to rebuild my LinkedIn from scratch...

These are 17 things I would do EVERY DAY:

 4. Analyze my analytics → especially profile views
 5. Send 3 connection requests to relevant people

 9. Dedicate 1 full hour to commenting (replies)
10. Prepare 3-5 pinned comments for my post
11. Repost my post 6-8 hours after publishing
12. Check my post's analytics in the evening.

14. Check whom I can convert to a member
15. Spend any extra time in the comments.
16. Check that day's connection requests.
17. Support small creators in the feed. ❤️

17 daily habits → Zero chance you'll fail.

Repost for others if it's useful. Thanks!

P.S. Which of these are your top 3? 😊

Jasmin Jay Alic shares his 17 daily habits for growing on LinkedIn. The reason he wrote this post was because he was asked what he'd do if he had to rebuild his LinkedIn from scratch. The image shows Jasmin coaching a group of creators live and in person during his global Link Up Community meetup in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The image also includes a caption that reads: 17 daily LinkedIn habits.

In 2011, I hauled trash to fund my university.

I drove those same streets recently.

(I got emotional writing this)

Same exact streets where I'd spend 12 hours per day, wearing 2kg boots, out in the scorching sun, wheeling strangers' trash cans to earn a paycheck.

Just to earn enough money over the summer, come home, and say "Mama, this is for uni next year".

I did this every summer. Proudly.

But...

(now for the real reason I'm sharing this)

THIS is the part they often leave out on social media.

The messy part. 

The part when you were [not who you are today].

The part that says "I'm not there yet". Nowhere close.

Often times, they only show you the highlight reel here, convincing you that "overnight" means overnight. That it's easy. No, it isn't. It takes decades sometimes!

(at least it did for me)

Never forget where you came from, friend.

Never get complacent. Always stay grounded.

That's the only message I have for today. Cheers. ❤️

P.S. Ask me anything you want in the comments. I'll give myself a challenge to respond to EVERY question I receive under this post. Thank you!

Jasmin Jay Alic shares his origin story, from hauling trash in the streets so he could fund his university to driving back through those same streets now and realizing the most important lesson. The post includes a lesson to never forget where you came from and not become complacent as you advance through life. The photo shows Jasmin taking a selfie in his car, wearing a tailored three-piece black suit, with a luxury tie and pocket square, and a gold-plated Link Up community tie clip.

I've never sent a cold DM on LinkedIn. But...

I've left over 250,000 comments and replies.

Every work day, I spend 2-3 hours on LinkedIn ONLY in the comments and in the DMs. 

But this has brought me 1000s of "warm" DMs from:

1. People who already know me.
2. People who have already seen me.
3. People whom I know have interest in me.

The best part? 

I've never used automation for this.
I've never hired a VA to help with this.
I've never used AI to help speed this up.

Am I crazy? Maybe.

Did it work? Yepsolutely.

Because it builds my brand AND my business!

1. This is why I'm never worried about post reach here. Commenting always gives me "more reach".

2. It puts me in networks and circles which I control, not at the mercy of some "brew" algorithm.

3. It grows my topical authority. Because only 2-5% of my followers see my posts. The rest sees my comments. Or I meet them in the DMs afterwards.

So hear me when I say this:

Commenting is always your best time investment on LinkedIn. It will forever be this way.

If someone tells you otherwise...

They're not commenting THAT WELL. ✌️

(Repost for others ♻️)

P.S. I left 350 comments and replies yesterday. How much time do YOU invest in your engagement?

Jasmin Jay Alic reveals his hands-on approach to commenting on LinkedIn and how he’s never sent a cold DM because of it. In this post, Jasmin also lists out all the ways strategic engagement helps to build his brand and his business. The image shows Jasmin working focused on his laptop, while sitting in a cafe inside of a mall. 

I cannot believe I'm writing this post. Genuinely.

This month, I'm celebrating a birthday.

It's my Link Up coaching community's 1st birthday. But instead of telling you what we've done thus far, let me tell you what happened ONLY in the last week:

1. I launched a Lifetime plan.
   
2. 98% said "Yes, I'm interested".

3. 12% purchased it on the very same day.

4. Same day, this took us to the very top of the Most Profitable communities list globally (out of 2,700+)

5. We rewarded a couple members with a short-form video package (collab with the GOAT Diwas)

5. I received gifts from my members at my doorstep from addresses I can't even pronounce. Thank God for FedEx and DHL. (gifts were for my son mostly ❤️)

6. We announced a book. (more on this soon)

7. Announced Chris Do as our newest guest in the community. His second time!

I'm blessed. 🤲

So if this doesn't tell you to... No. ↴

If THIS doesn't SCREAM at you to go chase that flimsy little dream of yours and make it a reality, then I don't know what will. Monday Motivation, class over.

Now tell me...

In the words of Simon Squibb, "what's your dream?"

(Thank you if you repost ♻️)

Jasmin Jay Alic shares a touching story about his Link Up community and the community's success in the first year. This post celebrates Link Up's first birthday and Jasmin's shares several of their milestones, including topping the list of Most Profitable communities globally after introducing a Lifetime plan. The image shows Jasmin proudly looking at his Link Up members while sitting on stage during his third global meetup in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I never liked the phrase "10x". Until...

I started LinkedIn. (Just look at this gallery)

LinkedIn has MORE than 10x'd my network, my business, my influence - the list goes on - in just 4 years.

So here we go...

I'm gonna write 3 things now.

And they're all gonna sound ridiculous.  Ready?

1. All we do is write words online. Talk to strangers on a webcam. And get paid for it. Ridiculously well-paid.

2. We pretend like we have it figured out. We don't. We just do it more confidently. And have better selfies.

3. I literally made more money this year than my mom and dad made in their entire careers. Together.

To LinkedIn, a genuine THANK YOU.

To you reading this...

Repost and 10x this post, ha! 😀

No seriously, go build something so ridiculously good, you'll laugh at it a few years from now. Go!

And network with strangers too!

Good luck, you! 

- Coach J

Most LinkedIn users are lost right now.

It's why I decided to write this post.

I've trained over 57,000 people how to use LinkedIn for business. This 2-minute guide gives you 26 tips on how to make the most of LinkedIn in 2026:

(Save for later OR Repost now ♻️)

1. Align your topics with your profile. The algo doesn't reward fitness tips from finance experts anymore.

2. Make sure your headline draws people IN first. Your headline is irrelevant once they're already ON your profile. Then, the banner + story should take over.

3. Design a banner that actually has a call to action. 99% of banners I see on LinkedIn lack a CTA.

4. Add a link to your profile. Send visitors to your most desired business offer. Make each visit count.

5. Even if you offer multiple things, pick ONE core offer AND model your profile around it. In 2026, I'll model it around my students: https://linkupbyjasmin.com

6. Add links to posts too. Doing so is fine.

7. Comment more than you post. 4 groups: peers, ideal clients, big influencers, and small creators.

8. Forget posting every day. Stick to 3-5 weekly posts, but make them good. Good content lives longer in the feed now. Frequency won't change that.

9. Add visuals when needed. Faces are most powerful.

10. Stop sharing contextless selfies. (unless you do it all the time, and it's part of your brand)

11. Text posts are making a comeback. Write more.

12. Share your opinions, not just tips and tricks. Information is currency. But your POV is gold.

13. Ask more nuanced questions. Ditch the standard "yes/no" for something more meaningful. People REALLY crave real conversations here.

14. Stop using AI for comments. Just... stop.

15. Write for the first 3 lines of your post. Everything else is irrelevant unless they hit "read more". 

16. Share moments. It converts better than just "pro tips". Just last week, I wrote about taking time off, as well as flying people around the world.

17. Most people don't know this but... Optimize your settings here too, especially Visibility. Make sure your public profile is actually "seen". 

18. Enable "InMail" in your settings so non-connections can message you. You'll thank me later.

19. Write longer posts from time to time. It works.

20. Post at least 1 video per month. It builds trust.

21. Write daily. Just for practice. Then... Publish your best, and shelve the rest.

22. Stop trying to appease the algo. You will never succeed. This stuff changes on the daily. 

23. Talk about your failures more. This stuff connects. Can't all be a highlight reel. But more importantly...

24. Flex more! Not the Lambo. Just overall... Talk about what you've done and ARE doing more. Nobody else will do this for you. So tell us!

25. Support and connect with new creators. Daily.

26. Support small creators too. Daily. ❤️

And voilà! 2026, sorted.

If you've read this far, thank you.

Let me know which of the above made you go "a-ha!" or "huh?!" I'd love to chat.

Trained 57,562 people how to use LinkedIn for business

Jasmin Jay Alic shares his 26 tips on how to make the most of LinkedIn in 2026. This LinkedIn post is a detailed in-depth guide with tried and tested strategies, verified by Jasmin Alic, his clients, and his students. The image shows Jasmin staring directly into the camera from his home studio office, with his signature teal lights all around. There is also a giant glowing 2026 caption behind him in the photo.

I gave myself a commenting challenge last week.

Not "more" comments → "new" comments!

I did 2 things:

1. Every time I published a new post, I made sure to interact with at least 50 new people under my post. People I have never spoken to before. Ever.

Result: Many fruitful DM conversations! Many new Link Up signups too. It felt great, to be honest!

And then in my feed:

2. Every time I opened my LinkedIn app, I'd purposely refresh it a few times so I see completely new people. And I'd make sure to support good posts.

Result: New profile views. Completely new profiles in my followers list. And side benefit → A LOT of those posts went viral after my comments. 😂

Lesson learned:

When your reach is low, you do what nobody wants to do. And that is to:

Stop complaining. And have fun again!

Cheers!

P.S. When was the last time you had actual fun on LinkedIn? Like, seriously?

P.P.S. Don't ask me to comment on your posts now! 😂

Jasmin Jay Alic shares his commenting challenge on LinkedIn, where he purposely searches for new people to interact with daily and new posts to comment on. He motivates his followers to have fun again on LinkedIn by doing the things nobody wants to do. The image shows Jasmin recording The Futur Podcast with Chris Do in person. The photo was taken live at The Futur Studios in Santa Monica, California. The image also includes a screenshot of a comment Jasmin left which summarizes his 2 main points from this post.

Most online communities fail in their 1st year.

Mine? 70 people flew in from 19 countries!

2. See how we "hang out" away from screens
3. People speaking on stage for the 1st time
4. Strangers embracing each other 100%
5. Beautiful sights from all over Bosnia
6. Smiles, conversations and support
7. Community being a "community"

Bonus: See me rapping 😎

P.P.S. Watched the video? Your favorite moment?

Let's talk about LinkedIn's new 360Brew. 

Heard of it? It's their new AI ranking system.

(Save this post for later)
 
I've seen many posts talking about what's new, wondering what's most important, and some brilliant breakdowns from fellow LinkedIn colleagues.

But...

I know thousands of you look for my advice and guidance when it comes to LinkedIn. So hear me out:

I don't think there's much to worry about. 🤷‍♂️

If you already:

1. Write high-quality posts (save-able, share-able)
2. Write posts aligned with your actual roles / niches
3. Write posts without "write bla to get bla" schemes

4. Comment daily and well to expand your network
5. Start conversations with "new" commenters daily
6. Have a "varied" network of commenters (not pods)

7. Have a profile optimized for your specific offer
8. Send DMs to priority connections, no spamming
9. Spend actual time on this platform, not automated

Then you have nothing NEW to worry about.

And yes...

I know I'm oversimplifying this.

But 360Brew is not that big a deal...

If you've already been doing the right things. 😉

And if not, well... time to change your LinkedIn habits, I guess. And your morning brew. Cheers!

(Repost this for others ♻️)

P.S. Which of the 9 above do you need to get better at? I know 5 and 6 are huge problems for people.

Jasmin Jay Alic explains 360Brew, LinkedIn's newly adopted AI ranking and recommendation system. Jasmin reassures his followers this update is not a big deal and lists out 9 must-have activities in your LinkedIn strategy to make sure you're aligned with 360Brew. The image shows Jasmin delivering a keynote on stage, wearing a tailored dark blue suit and brown tie. The image also includes a quote that reads: LinkedIn's 360Brew Explained.

I flew 8 people across the world this year.

(and not everyone understands WHY)

So let me give you 3 reasons:

1. It's a selling point. Nobody else "flies people out". But Link Up does. See how that works? It's an added value proposition → Give more than the competition.

Who says no to a free flight?!

2. I'm promoting my country, Bosnia and Herzegovina. You have no idea how many people told me "I never heard of Bosnia until I started following you".

And I believe them. 🇧🇦

3. It's a promise I made to myself a long time ago. That "I'll do things differently". All of this? I don't pay with a company card → I pay with my personal one.

Hotels always get shocked when I say "no invoice".

TL;DR:

1. Give more than the competition
2. Be a proud ambassador of your roots
3. Do it so cool, people can't believe it's real

P.S. We even had a "Link Up flight" recently, with 6 ladies on the same flight traveling to Bosnia. ❤️

P.P.S. What's a country on your bucket list? (give me ideas for my 2026 travels 👀)

Jasmin Jay Alic talks about his unique approach in the Link Up Community to fly people out across the world. He shares the story of bringing 8 people in 1 year to Bosnia, out of his own pocket. The post provides 3 reasons why he does this. The image shows Jasmin taking a selfie with his Link Up members in front of the Sarajevo City Hall.

This post is a letter to the younger me. 

Because everything I was taught was wrong.

(These 5 lessons literally changed my 3 businesses)

1. Don't launch anything super-late in the year:

Worst advice ever. I launched my Link Up community in late November last year. Sold out before day 1.

2. Give several pricing choices:

Hah! I only have Yearly memberships. No monthly, 3m and 6m options. This skyrocketed our sales. A visible "spike" in my sales analytics screenshots.

(we just introduced Lifetime → another A+ move)

3. Spend more time in the DMs than anywhere else:

I did. Most wasteful experience on LinkedIn ever. Instead, I switched to commenting 90% of the time and THEN started DMing my commenters. Wild difference.

4. Share EXACTLY how much money you make:

No.

5. Share the why, not the how:

Funniest advice ever. Sharing the how has literally transformed my entire life. And I get to enable others too. So WHY not share more of it?

HOW does it make sense to keep knowledge to yourself? You'll be gone in a few years, bud.

Life is too short for gatekeeping.

Bonus: Have fun in your content. Don't stress it.

I don't have a content plan. Never had one in all my years. I literally wrote this post 20 minutes ago. 

Just write what feels right. 

Otherwise, it'll never be alright.

Thanks for reading my end-of-week letter.

Jasmin Jay Alic shares a heartfelt letter to his younger self and includes business advice he wishes he knew sooner. The post includes 5 lessons and examples of how Jasmin did it, his own way.

Today is International Men's Day.

Which means "top lists day". For me?

This particular list made me smile. Because I'm on the cover with some all-time-great individuals I've been learning from for decades. Gary V. Chris Do.

To all my dawgs, bros, and men in the network...

Enjoy your day, fellas.

Get a burger. 

Chill. 

I'm spending today with my son, collecting stickers for our FIFA 365 album. Anyone want to come to a football game with me next summer in the US?

Also...

Shoutout to Sibel Terhaar and Leadership Up Magazine for putting this list together. It's a great initiative, and I'm happy to support it.

P.S. 65% of all my clients are women, so don't ask where's your list, ladies. March 8 is right around the corner, so let us enjoy this one. 😂

Jasmin Jay Alic is named one of the Top 100 Most Influential Men of 2025, as voted by Leadership Up Magazine. He is featured on the cover among some popular names like Gary Vaynerchuk and Chris Do. In this post, Jasmin pays homage to all the men in his network and celebrates International Men's Day. The image shows the cover slide of the list, with Jasmin's headshot highlighted for the purpose of this post.

The moment I did this, my business grew too.

(I'm honestly sad I didn't start much sooner)

Stop sharing advice. Start sharing opinions.
Yes, opinions. POVs. Not just... information.
But if you can combine both, bam. Bingo!

Most people on LinkedIn only share tips.
They'll rarely - if ever - share opinions.
Having an opinion = being an expert.

Experts don't just teach. They share.
The moment you understand this...
Is the moment things will change.

Advice can be found everywhere.
Your unique perspective... can't.
This is what makes an "expert".
 
Do you share YOUR opinions?
Or still stuck at tips & tricks?
Answer this one honestly. 😊

P.S. Caught my POV here?

Jasmin Jay Alic shares his approach to getting more offers with your LinkedIn posts. He says you should stop sharing advice only, and start sharing your opinions and points of view too. This LinkedIn post explains the psychology behind Jasmin’s advice. The image shows Jasmin standing at the top of a rooftop terrace in Chicago, with a point of view of the Navy Pier at Lake Michigan.

My Link Up community is turning 1 today!

(Read til the end for a surprise)

These are our numbers from the last 365 days:

1. Over 600 members joined
2. 90+ hours of video training
3. Organized 3 global meetups
4. Members from 40+ countries
5. 125 people visited the meetups
6. 30+ passports at those meetups
7. Hired 5 people - soon to be 7 (👀)
8. 20% already bought in for Lifetime
9. We surpassed my ARR expectations

And more than anything...

It surpassed everyone's expectations.

Happy birthday to the best group on the planet. You made my life and work more fulfilled - each and every one of you. Thank you. Proud of you all.

This LinkedIn post shares the numbers and milestones from the community’s successful inaugural year, and Jasmin thanks his members with a heartfelt note. The image shows Jasmin posing for the camera, smiling directly into the camera, wearing a custom brown suit and tie.

I haven't done a LinkedIn Live since last year.

So let's make this one ONE to remember!

1. Ask me anything you want
2. Drop questions live in the chat
3. Celebrate my Link Up anniversary!
4. Watch me drop an exciting announcement

I REALLY miss doing lives! So...

I'll stay with you for 2 hours (at least) because I want to make sure this is the best live event of the year.

(maybe I'll even bring guests 👀)

I don't do these often. So mark your calendar ASAP.

3 things you can do immediately:

1. Repost this so your network sees it ♻️
2. Invite others to the event (up to 1k invites)
3. Leave a comment with a question for me to answer

See you on Nov 25!

The 2026 LinkedIn Playbook w/ Jasmin Alić (+ Announcement)

"Wait, that's really YOU on LinkedIn?"

I get this reaction a lot when I meet people.

So let me be blunt here.

1. Nobody else has access to my LinkedIn. 🚨

2. When did it become normal for "personal" brands to NOT respond to their own comments and DMs, to the point where others automatically assume you're NOT the one behind your own account?

And...

3. I have TWO superpowers (apparently):

↳ I remember 99% of my commenters when I meet them in person. Yes, even at 1,500 comments on average per post. Yes, even years later.

↳ I respond to every single DM myself. I don't automate the most human part of my business = conversations. Never will. (I sincerely hope I never will)

So to answer this once and for all:

"Is it really you in the LinkedIn DMs?"
"Is it really you in all those comments?"
"Is it really you in your newsletter replies?"

Yes, it's me. Always.

It's not that hard, y'all. 

Message me. I'll prove it.

P.S. Don't message me, please. 😂😂😂 Commenting below is probably easier for everyone!

Jasmin Jay Alic says he responds to every single comment and DM himself to this day, even after 342,000 followers on LinkedIn. This post answers the most-common questions Jasmin gets about whether or not it is actually him behind his LinkedIn interactions, and he assures his audience he is the only one with access to his LinkedIn account. The image shows Jasmin meeting people in person at a conference, surrounded by more people who wish to speak with him.

I took a day off in the middle of my launch week.

One reason: Daddy-son time. ❤️

I don't give a hoot how many millions I make in my career, I pray to never be too busy to put everything "on hold" and spend time with my loved ones. 

My son. My parents. My partner. My friends.

This was the whole point. ‼️

→ To have "enough" income so you CAN rest freely and go spend it with those you do it for.

→ Not to make "more" money so you COULD potentially spend more time with them.

→ "A lot" vs. "Enough". These lines aren't blurry. They just have to be drawn.

Remember this:

A lot is good. But enough is more than enough. 

Always remember this, friend.

Sending love to everyone reading this. And especially those who just joined my Link Up community. We were the #2 most profitable community in the world yesterday. 🏆 Wow... Grateful.

Did I miss anything on LinkedIn while I was away? Give me some fun updates, please. Or fun questions :)

I rebranded my profile just for this week! 🎂

Jasmin Jay Alic shares a reminder with this LinkedIn followers about being present in your life and spending time with your loved ones. In this LinkedIn post, he explains the difference between a lot and enough money, and where this line should be drawn in one's career. In this photo, Jasmin is seen taking a selfie with his cat at home. It's an unusual visual change from his usual style of content to share such a personal photo.

This is the simplest LinkedIn "hack" of all time.

Especially if you want more engagement.

ASK BETTER QUESTIONS!

I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say this:

"Sometimes I have no clue what to comment on certain posts that show up in my feed." 🤷‍♂️

→ Even if the hook is good.
→ Even if the advice is valuable.
→ Even if I actually like the author.

3 easy ways to get more replies on your post:

1. Ask a Yes/No question
2. Ask for numbers or figures
3. Ask a specific question; with examples 

(I'll do number 3 in the next 7 seconds)

I tested this out with 100s of clients. And it always works. Especially if you don't overcomplicate it.

Ask a question, okay? It works.

Get clients, investments and influence by speaking confidently | Public Speaking Coach for entrepreneurs and execs | ex-Fortune 50 | My featured section has a gift for you.

You know who gets the most clients and promotions?

The person who can speak the best.

You might be an expert in your domain.
But if you don't speak with confidence, no one will trust you.

Your career and business will suffer because you struggle to speak powerfully.

Your next client will go to the person who presents better than you.
Your next promotion will go to the person who communicates better than you.
Your investor might pass because they are not convinced of your value and worth.

You’ll feel weak and powerless.

It’s crazy because you have a lot to share with the world.

But your speaking skills let you down.

Here’s the good news:
It doesn’t have to be like that.

Now imagine:
You ace sales calls and win dream projects because you speak with confidence.
You get that promotion because you present with clarity in the boardroom.
You build a powerful brand because the world listens when you speak.

I can help you get there.

I’ve helped 500+ entrepreneurs and execs become confident and effective speakers.

• Entrepreneurs like Wes, who had stage fright and went blank when he was in the spotlight.

• VPs like Sarah, whose voice shook every time she presented in the boardroom. But became a confident speaker working with me and secured 2 leads worth $350,000 for her company.

• LinkedIn creators like Jasmin Alić, Ruben Hassid, Lara Acosta, Sophie Miller, Nigel Thomas, Nicholas Boucher, and Mando Sallavanti III who now speak on big stages with credibility, authority, and influence.

I can help you become a confident, powerful speaker too.

Public Speaking Coach for stage and camera

I coach entrepreneurs and execs on how to speak on camera with maximum impact, create a powerful brand and grow professionally.

I grew from 1k to 302,000 followers on Instagram. 

In 5 months. This is how it happened: 

This year my goal was to grow beyond LinkedIn. 

Instagram seemed to be the natural choice: 

2 billion users vs 1 billion here. 

But I had already tried posting on instagram last year. 

Repurposing content from LinkedIn. 

No luck. Crickets. 

Then I hired a coach. 

Within 2 weeks we: 

→ Revamped my profile. 
→ Created a content strategy. 
→ Co-wrote scripts for reels geared for high reach. 

(Btw I worked with Alessio Bertozzi. They’re huge on insta). 

The results? 

→ 300,000+ new followers in 5 months. 
→ Doubled my mailing list. 
→ Sold out my cohort. 

This is the difference a coach can make. 

Without a coach: 
I would have struggled for months. And given up. 

With a coach: 
I now share my message with 300,000+ more people. 

Amateurs try to DIY alone. 
Pros go to the experts for coaching. 

P.S. Do you have a coach? Yes/no?

I’m a married woman in my early 40s. So I get asked: 

“Why don’t you have children?” 

This question can only ever have two answers: 

1. “Why is it any of your business?” 
2. “Because I…why is it any of your business?” 

The truth is: 

When someone asks you a personal question, 
What they’re really asking is: 

“Why aren’t you playing by the same rules as me?” 

They don’t always wish for you to succeed. 

They only want you to play the same game as them. 

So the moment you start playing your own game, 
Living by your own rules: 

You break free. 

You can choose what success looks like for you. 

For some, it might be having kids. 
For others, it might be traveling the world. 
Or being your own boss. 

Don’t let other people’s idea of success dictate yours. 

Find the game you want to play and play it. 
Unapologetically. 

P.S. What’s something exciting you’re working on?

Your body speaks before you do (even on Zoom). 

These 5 gestures can damage your first impression: 

Once you master body language, you can: 

→ Project confidence. 
→ Build trust instantly. 
→ Persuade and influence anyone. 

You see, perception matters. 

In every meeting, presentation, and interaction. 

When you learn to communicate without speaking, 

You become a top 1% communicator. 

The video below shows two types of body language. 

Which one do you think creates the most impact?

P.S. Follow me Nausheen to never miss another video.

The 4 words that instantly win trust and deals: 

(Top 1% communicators keep this a secret) 

The 4 words are: 
“Is there a way…” 

Them: “This is too hard.” 
You: “Is there a way we can make this easier?” 

Them: “This is too expensive.” 
You: “Is there a way to make this worth your investment?” 

Them: “This is not working out. I’m leaving.” 
You: “Is there a way to make it work for you?” 

(Ok try the last one only when it’s worth it ;)) 

To win, you don’t need to be louder or more assertive. 
To win, you need to let the other person win too. 

P.S. Will you try this out this week? Yes/no?

I grew up in a developing country with a single mother. 

She taught me: “You’re no less than a man”. 

This was in a place where: 

- Girls often got married off in their teens. 
- Women had to dress, think, act conservatively. 
- To be “respected” you had to be a wife or a mother. 

But my mom made it “safe” and normal for me to: 

- Get a job instead of getting married. 
- Have strong opinions and talk publicly about them. 
- Never apologize for who I was or who I wanted to be. 

Raising me against the “norms”, mom faced criticism. 

“You’ve given Nausheen too much freedom” 

But as a result, I: 

- Explored the world and traveled to 20+ countries. 
- Bootstrapped a startup to $1M in revenue. 
- Spoke on global stages like TEDx. 

Now I coach CEOs with 10x more privilege than me. 

You are never limited by your gender, race or age. 

You are only limited by your mind. 

Once you realize this, you become unstoppable. 

P.S. What was most interesting about your childhood?

Top 1% leaders know how to convince anyone: 

(without the other person even realizing it). 

They use this technique - 

The “what - so what - what now” framework. 

I teach it to you in 38 seconds in this video. 

Follow me Nausheen to get tips to become powerful in any room. 

P.S. Want to try it out? Yes/no?

I just spoke at Web Summit with 70,000 attendees. 

Here are 5 weird lessons I learned: 

1. The “SPEAKER” badge gives you instant credibility: 
→ People see you’re “pre-selected” for your expertise. 

2. Speaking on stages is great, networking is better: 
→ The real magic happens in 1:1 conversations after. 

3. Use your talk as your calling card when networking: 
→ Ask new people you meet to come see you speak. 

4. Express genuine interest, show real enthusiasm: 
→ If you “fake” interest in someone, they will know it. 

5. Have a networking strategy before you attend: 
→ Then invest time in having real conversations. 

Every single event is an opportunity: 
New collaborators, potential clients and connectors. 

Start speaking on stages to be visible. 
Start networking to be remembered. 

P.S. Do you love or hate “networking”?

Your first impression can make or break the conversation. 

(This is how to prove you’re an expert in 60 seconds) 

Too many entrepreneurs neglect doing this: 

- They spend hours perfecting sales decks 
- They memorize their sales call scripts 
- They write engaging LinkedIn posts 

But they forget the one thing that sells them as experts: 

Your “presence” in a room or on a call. 

In this carousel, my friend Michael DeLon and I show you how it’s possible to instantly prove you’re an expert in the first 60 seconds. 

Because when you’re seen as an expert, 

- You close sales without objections 
- Clients save up to work with you 
- You get invited to sit at powerful tables 

Don’t dull your expertise with poor speaking skills. 
Learn to shine like the expert you already are.

P.S. What’s the one thing you want to be known for?

How to Look Like an Expert

I’ve coached 500+ CEOs to speak confidently. 

This is the #1 mistake I see them make: 

They get “confidence” wrong. 

Most people think confidence is “acting” a certain way. 

But to have unshakeable confidence, you have to dive deeper. 

Here are 3 layers of confidence to master: 

1. How to look confident: 

→ Get rid of the poker face - use expressions. 
→ Use open gestures and maintain great posture. 
→ Take up space physically and in the camera frame. 

2. How to sound confident: 

→ Enunciate clearly and emphasize keywords. 
→ Use stories to engage your audience emotionally. 
→ Vary your pitch, pacing, pauses to retain attention. 

3. How to feel confident: 

→ Warm up beforehand to get “in the zone”. 
→ Practice and create a positive feedback loop. 
→ Reframe nerves as excitement to share and help. 

Confidence isn’t putting on a “show”. 

Confidence is a state of being. 

Once you look, sound and feel confident on the inside, 
You become unforgettable anywhere you go. 

Follow me Nausheen to learn genuine confidence. 

♻️ Repost this so more people feel confident. 

P.S. Do you have any role models? Yes/No?

#1 mistake people make in high-stakes conversations: 

They don’t “own” the room. This is how to fix it: 

When you walk into a: 

- Raise negotiation 
- Pitch meeting with an investor 
- Or even a charged conversation with your in-laws 

You’re walking into a potentially dangerous situation. 

Best case you win. 
But worst case, you walk away feeling defeated. 

Most people focus on getting the words right. 

But here’s what actually makes the difference: 

Your “presence” in the room. 

→ How well you can read others. 
→ How you make others feel seen and heard. 
→ What you communicate with body language. 

I collaborated with my friend Andrea Petrone, the CEO’s leadership coach to share our best strategies. 

When you learn how to make your presence felt, 
You can turn losing battles into conquests. 

P.S. Had a tough conversation lately? Yes/no?

How to win high stakes conversations

This CEO was deathly scared of presentations. 

He now speaks like a top 1% communicator: 

Wes is an extraordinary leader: 

At 50, he left his tech job to become an entrepreneur. 

He had 30+ years of expertise in productivity. 

But he lacked the speaking skills to: 

→ Express his ideas with ease 
→ Make unforgettable first impressions 
→ Close the deal by proving his expertise 

In fact, he was so scared of speaking to an audience - 

That he would just freeze up. 

We worked together to get him unstuck. 

→ He now speaks on top podcasts. 
→ Does webinars for companies like Thinkific. 
→ Can speak without any scripts or preparation. 

Check out his amazing progress in this video - the first part took me by surprise.
