I'll admit, at first, I was way too nervous to show up. 

Back when I first joined LinkedIn, I did nothing more than lurk.

I didn't know anyone, save for a handful of colleagues in my industry whom I had gotten to know over the years. 

So, when I finally decided to put some effort into LinkedIn, one of the first people to extend a hand of friendship was my next guest, Jeff Young.

If you haven't heard of Jeff, well, I'd be shocked. 

Jeff Young is one of those rare LinkedIn experts who doesn’t just use the platform--he understands it at a level most people never will. 

Known as “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝗚𝘂𝗿𝘂,” Jeff has helped thousands of professionals worldwide transform how they show up, connect, and build real traction on the platform. 

He’s mastered LinkedIn’s hidden features, its evolving algorithm, and the mindset shifts job seekers and leaders need to stand out in a noisy digital world. 

In our conversation, Jeff breaks down his signature “𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗣’𝘀” 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵--  Profile, People, and Participate--which has become a trusted roadmap for anyone looking to elevate their presence. 

He shares 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 executives can put into play immediately, from untapped profile sections to engagement habits that actually move the needle. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 without feeling pushy or performative, Jeff is the guide you want in your corner. This episode is packed with the kind of actionable wisdom that helps leaders get seen, get remembered, and get results.

“Describe a time when...” 
or
“Share an example of a situation where...”

We’ve all heard these types of behavioral approach questions in an interview. 

I'm sure you've been asked one, if not both, of these.

So, what should your answer be?😳

S.T.A.R. 

⭐️ Situation - Task - Action - Results

S- describe the event or Situation

T- talk about the Task, discussing the challenges

A- describe the Actions you took to overcome the problems, focusing on the skills you used without stating them specifically

R- close with the Results of your efforts

Keep your response to three minutes or less, focusing on the traits the job you are applying for demands.

Have questions about how to use the STAR formula? Shoot me a DM. We can help!

Global Innovator • Neuroscience Advocate • Human-Centered Strategist

From my own transformation of self-exploration and healing, I’ve emerged as a leader committed to making a difference and impacting the lives of many.

My journey has taken me from the bridge of a ship, as a Merchant Marine Captain, to leading a global company that became the largest in its field. Each chapter taught me clarity, resilience, and heart-centric leadership.

Today, as a Global Innovator, my mission is simple:
Inspiring Growth. Driving Success.

I work with individuals, teams, and organizations worldwide to:
‣ Break through barriers with clarity and direction
‣ Apply neuroscience to build resilience and performance
‣ Use emotional intelligence to foster trust and authentic leadership
‣ Embed diversity and inclusion to unlock innovation and belonging
‣ Prioritize nutrition and well-being as foundations of lasting success
‣ Anchor change in metrics that makes transformation visible and sustainable

What I’ve learned:
⁃ Leadership without clarity creates confusion
⁃ Performance without well-being collapses
⁃ Success without measurement fades
⁃ Growth without inclusion limits possibility

This work has taken me across the globe, training, mentoring, and speaking to leaders who are hungry to grow with purpose.

At my core, I am a seeker, learner, and storyteller. I believe leadership is personal, clarity is essential, and true performance flows from purpose.

Productivity in presentations is entering a new era.

What once took hours of slides, edits, and manual polishing can now be crafted in minutes.

I’ve been testing an AI-powered workflow with https://lnkd.in/gW5-BWa7, and the efficiency gains are remarkable.

Turning ideas into complete visuals feels faster, smoother, and far less repetitive than traditional design work.

And beyond the speed, the creative output is surprisingly advanced.

From simple prompts turning into motion-rich visual stories...

to layouts that animate naturally and guide attention...

to interactive 3D elements that bring data to life...

The entire process shifts from labor-intensive tasks to an intuitive, creative flow.

What makes it even more impressive is that you don’t need design experience or complex tools. 

You begin with an idea, and AI handles the cinematic visuals, transitions, and finishing touches.

We’re heading toward a future where:

-High efficiency meets high creativity

-Presentations feel immersive instead of static

-3D visuals boost clarity and engagement

-Anyone can produce standout decks without effort

If this is today’s baseline, the future of visual communication is going to be incredible.

More experiments coming soon.

Life isn’t about shutting down your emotions or your effort.
It’s about learning how to use them without losing yourself in the process.

This reminder is simple, but powerful:

Respond, but don’t react.
Not every moment needs your fire—some need your clarity.

Invest, but don’t obsess.
Your energy is valuable; place it where it grows, not drains.

Help, but don’t fix.
You can support someone without carrying what they must learn themselves.

Share, but don’t boast.
Impact speaks louder than performance.

Hope, but don’t resist.
Let possibilities unfold instead of forcing outcomes.

Trust, but don’t ignore.
Boundaries and intuition exist for a reason.

In my own journey, the biggest shifts happened when I realised balance isn’t passive—
it’s a disciplined choice.

Ask yourself today:
→ Where do you need more balance and less burnout?
→ Where can you give without losing yourself?

Because clarity isn’t just about what you add—
it’s about what you protect.

So many people focus on landing any job
that they forget to question whether it’s the right one.

A job can pay your bills,
but the culture determines your peace of mind.
And peace is non-negotiable.

A healthy workplace does more than offer a salary.
It offers respect.
It offers growth.
It offers space to be human.

Over the years, I’ve realised something simple:
People don’t leave jobs —
they leave places where they don’t feel valued.

Choose environments that uplift you,
where your voice matters,
and your wellbeing isn’t an afterthought.

Because when you work where you’re valued,
your potential naturally rises to meet the moment.

How to grow faster than feedback:
Start paying attention to yourself.

Most people wait for feedback to improve.
They wait for someone to notice, correct, or validate.

But awareness doesn’t wait.
It whispers before the feedback arrives.
It shows you what others might never say.

Every hesitation.
Every reaction.
Every moment you feel triggered or inspired
is a signal.

Awareness is your greatest mentor.
It reveals what feedback often can’t.

When you start observing yourself,
you stop outsourcing growth.
You become both the student and the teacher.

That’s where real transformation begins.

So before asking, “What do you think of me?”
ask, “What am I learning about myself?”

Growth starts there.

Mixed signals feel confusing.
But they’re often clarity disguised as uncertainty.

In careers — just like in life —
not every opportunity is meant to be pursued.
Some roles feel exciting on the surface,
yet uneasy the moment you look closer.

Vague descriptions.
Shifting expectations.
No transparency.
No direction.

These aren’t small details.
They’re quiet warnings.

Because when an organisation can’t define
what they want from you,
you’ll spend your days trying to fill a shape
that keeps changing.

And that’s how burnout begins —
not from hard work,
but from unclear work.

Here’s the truth we often learn late:
Clarity isn’t a luxury in a job.
It’s the foundation.
Without it, even the best opportunities
turn into constant confusion.

So if something feels off,
listen to it.
If the signals are mixed,
take it as a complete message.

Some doors don’t need to be pushed open.
Some are meant to stay closed
so better ones can find you.

Do you agree that uncertainty early on
is often protection, not rejection?

We talk a lot about boundaries,
but rarely about the guilt that comes with setting them.

The truth is:
protecting your peace isn’t selfish—
it’s responsible.
It’s what allows you to show up with clarity
instead of resentment or exhaustion.

In my own journey, I’ve learned that:
→ Saying “no” doesn’t make you difficult.
→ Choosing yourself doesn’t make you unkind.
→ Protecting your energy doesn’t make you unavailable.

It simply means you’re leading your life with intention,
not obligation.

Healthy boundaries don’t push people away.
They protect the best of you
so you can give from a place that’s genuine, not depleted.

Ask yourself today:
→ Where am I giving too much at the cost of myself?
→ What boundary—big or small—needs reinforcing?

Remember:
You can care deeply about others
without abandoning yourself.

🔔 Follow Sanjiv Beri for clarity, balance, and empowered leadership.

Comfort feels safe.
But it also keeps you exactly where you are.

Growth never begins in familiar places —
it begins the moment you’re willing to step into something uncertain,
unpolished, and new.

Here’s the truth most people learn too late:
You don’t discover your potential by staying still.
You discover it by moving — even when the next step isn’t guaranteed.

If you wait for perfect clarity,
perfect timing,
or perfect confidence…
you’ll stay in the same place for years.

Progress isn’t a leap.
It’s a decision.

Ask yourself today:
→ What is one step you’ve been avoiding because comfort feels easier?
→ And who could you become if you took it anyway?
