Did you know that most people decide whether to connect with you within seconds of seeing your profile and activity?

If your outreach feels awkward or your connection requests go ignored, the problem isn’t you—it’s your approach.

Ask yourself:

  • Are you reaching out to people with intention—or just hoping for the best?

  • When someone checks out your profile, is it clear who you help and how?

  • Do your messages start conversations… or shut them down?

  • Are you tracking the people who matter—or losing them in your inbox?

If you’re not building relationships in a way that feels aligned and strategic, you’re not just missing out on leads—you’re missing out on genuine business opportunities.

Does this sound familiar?

You know your clients are on LinkedIn…
But trying to connect with them feels awkward, salesy, or just plain ineffective.

You’ve been told to message a certain number of strangers a week,
Drop a link to your webinar into cold DMs,
Join engagement pods to “boost visibility”...

But none of it feels right — and worst of all, it’s not working.

Instead, you’re left feeling:

  • Embarrassed by the outreach

  • Awkward following up

  • Tired of engagement pods that go nowhere

  • Disconnected from what actually feels aligned

 

You don’t want to chase strangers.
You want to build real relationships. Ones that lead somewhere.

But you’re stuck between what you’re “supposed” to do… and what actually feels like you.

Maybe you’ve been wondering:

  • Is it OK to just… be myself on LinkedIn?

  • What’s the right way to reach out?

  • Should I really be focusing on numbers—or is there another way?

  • How do I build trust if I’m not “selling” all the time?

You’re not imagining it.
There is a better way. And it works.

That’s exactly why I created Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence—to help coaches and service-based business owners like you ditch the scripts, stop performing, and start making meaningful connections that actually lead to clients.

Let's put a pin in the doubts that are holding you back:

Big Doubt #1 My LinkedIn is full of old contacts — not my dream clients

When I pivoted my business and started offering a completely different service, I looked at my LinkedIn and thought, none of these people are ever going to hire me.

But here’s what I learned: some of those old connections?
They actually became my biggest supporters — introducing me to new people, referring clients, or even becoming clients themselves.

The truth is, when you clearly communicate what you do now and the results you help people get, the right people will get it — even if they knew the “old you.”

You don’t need thousands of followers or to start from scratch.
You just need to know how to present your new message with clarity and confidence.
And I’ll show you how to do exactly that inside Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence.

Big Doubt #2 I don’t know what to post on LinkedIn to build real connections.

Here’s a little secret:
Getting traction on LinkedIn has nothing to do with “hacking the algorithm” or joining those awkward engagement pods that feel more like high school group projects than marketing.

You don’t need to follow someone else’s template.
You don’t need to post three times a day.
And you definitely don’t need to message 50 strangers a week just to “get visible.”

Because once you understand how to connect with people in a way that feels like you — by sharing stories, content, and ideas that reflect your values and expertise — it’s not about volume.

It’s about resonance.

You are the best person to create the message that attracts your clients.
Once it’s clear and aligned, the connections come naturally — and so do the opportunities.

And yes, inside Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence, I’ll show you exactly how to get there.

 

Big Doubt #3 I can't be "the real me" on LinkedIn

Trying to be someone else and putting on a performance is exhausting. And you might have left the corporate world because you were sick and tired of putting on that "suit of armour" every day.

Here's the thing. If double denim is your new suit, then you do you. The more you lean into being you, the more people will gravitate towards you as their kind of person.

And that corporate experience that exhausted you could be the exact super power.

You just need to know how to frame it in a way that makes organisations and professionals say:
“Yes — that’s the person we need.”

And that’s exactly what I’ll help you do inside Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence.

No scripts. No awkward cold DMs.
Just real connection — the way you’d show up at a networking event, only easier

 

What if those doubts became POSSIBILITIES?

 

Hi there, I'm Elaine Walsh-McGrath!

Special Needs Mum, sea swimmer, world traveller, live music aficianado, ex ad agency pro. 

As an award winning Content Marketing Expert I help service businesses to grow their client base. I am here to make it so much easier to show you how to find more clients.

I've been helping businesses nail their messaging and market their products and services since the 90s! 

I've used LinkedIn to build connections and find clients for over ten years.

But let's rewind the tape a few years to when I left my 6 figure ad agency consultancy business.

At the time, I had spent a year with my beautiful daughter, who has Down Syndrome. The level of appointments and care she needed was not compatible with my previous working life.

So I closed the consultancy business... and searched for a different path...

When I pivoted away from my corporate consultancy, I felt like my LinkedIn was full of all the wrong connections—former colleagues, agency folks, and suppliers.
I didn’t know a single coach or consultant in my network.

But I knew LinkedIn was the platform that made sense for my business, so I stopped listening to icky advice and started applying what I knew about building relationships. I focused on people, not just numbers. And it worked.

That experience taught me something powerful: You don’t need a huge network or fancy funnels to sign clients—you need clarity, credibility, and a connection strategy that actually feels right.

That’s exactly what I’ll show you inside Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence.

Let’s grow your network—and your business—together.

The secret sauce behind Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence?

It’s understanding how to treat LinkedIn like a powerful networking event — not a cold sales floor.

The same way you’d chat to someone at a business breakfast, with interest, warmth, and intent… that’s how you build a network on LinkedIn that turns into clients, collaborators, and champions.

  • Are you treating every new connection like a potential transaction?
  • Have you been relying on engagement pods or mass DMs?
  • Do you feel awkward reaching out because it just doesn’t feel like you?

It’s time to shift into a new way of building your network — one that feels aligned, strategic, and authentic.

With my Build Connections with Confidence method, you’ll learn to build a business network that works, by mastering:

STRATEGIC CLARITY: Know exactly who you want to connect with — and why. Get clear on your ideal clients, collaborators, and referral partners, and use that insight to guide every step you take.

INSIGHTFUL COMMUNICATION: Learn how to open conversations that feel natural and welcome — not awkward or pushy. Discover how to turn a like or comment into a genuine relationship that could lead to your next big client.

AUTHENTIC CONFIDENCE: Ditch the gross tactics. You don’t need to DM 100 strangers or pretend to be someone you’re not. You’ll build trust and credibility by showing up as yourself — and believing that’s enough.

CONNECTION IN ACTION: Use smart systems (like our lead tracker) to follow up, stay organised, and keep building momentum — so you’re not leaving opportunities sitting in your inbox.

COMMUNITY PURPOSEFUL: This isn’t about networking for the sake of it.
It’s about building a circle of the right people — those who reflect your values, respect your work, and open doors to meaningful opportunities.

Inside this course, we move away from awkward cold outreach and cookie-cutter tactics.
Instead, you’ll learn how to build relationships that feel good, grounded, and genuine.

Because here’s what I believe:
When you lead with kindness, respect, and integrity — business grows naturally.
And when your network feels like a community, it becomes a place of real connection, not just another list of names.

How would it feel if you... 

Built a network on LinkedIn filled with people who genuinely want to connect — not just follow.

Reached out with confidence, knowing exactly what to say and how to say it, without feeling icky or salesy.

Knew how to spot and start conversations with people who are the right fit — the ones who get what you do and might need it.

Grew your connections strategically, with less overwhelm and more ease, just by spending 30 minutes a day on this.

Used your content to start meaningful conversations that lead to calls, collaborations — and clients.

Stopped second-guessing your every move and started using LinkedIn like the virtual networking room it was meant to be.

Felt proud of how you show up, because it finally feels aligned, strategic, and you.

You're going to feel clear, confident, and in control of your LinkedIn strategy — and you’ll know exactly what to do next.

  • How to create content that sparks interest and starts conversations
