Build Visible Presence

Communicate Expertise Clearly

Strengthen Professional Networks

It’s rarely acknowledged — but this is where opportunity is being lost...

  • You meet great people through networking, yet those conversations rarely turn into enquiries.

  • Your LinkedIn profile doesn’t clearly explain what you do, so the value of your expertise is easy to miss.

  • You know LinkedIn could bring opportunities, but without a clear approach it becomes something you “should” be doing rather than something that works for you.

The result is missed opportunities — not because your work isn’t valuable, but because it isn’t being seen or understood by the right people.

When LinkedIn lacks clarity and intent, expertise stays hidden and conversations go nowhere.

 

When LinkedIn clearly communicates your expertise, conversations turn into opportunities.

When LinkedIn starts working properly, things change

Conversations from networking continue online.

Your profile clearly explains what you do and who you help.

Prospective clients understand your expertise quickly — without you having to over-explain it.

LinkedIn becomes a natural extension of your professional reputation rather than something you feel you “should” be doing.

Instead of wondering what to post or how to show up, you have a clear approach that fits your business and your personality.

Client Experience:

“Elaine is amazing, insightful, and straightforward. She brought genuine expertise that had an immediate impact, reshaping our client relationships and unlocking new opportunities through clearly articulated relationship frameworks." - Malcolm Jull, CEO of Purchase Plus

Elaine Walsh-McGrath brings over 25 years of senior marketing and media strategy experience into her LinkedIn advisory work.

She has worked at decision-making level with organisations including L’Oréal, Colgate, Fiat and Ryanair — where clarity of positioning and communication had direct commercial consequences.

More recently, she was recognised as one of the Top 5 LinkedIn Growth Specialists in Ireland and has helped hundreds of professionals improve how they show up on LinkedIn and turn activity on the platform into real business opportunities.

Her approach is practical, commercially grounded and easy to apply — helping professionals show up with more clarity, confidence and consistency without turning LinkedIn into a full-time job.

Elaine is trusted to deliver training within organisations and professional services environments.

How Elaine Works in Training Environments?

Elaine is invited into organisations to build clarity, confidence and capability across teams.

Her training focuses on visibility, professional positioning and influence — helping people understand how their expertise is currently showing up, and how to communicate it more clearly and consistently in real working contexts.

Training is:
• Structured, not ad-hoc
• Commercially grounded, not theoretical
• Practical without being tactical or overwhelming

Elaine respects the experience in the room.
She doesn’t talk down to participants or overload them with techniques.

The result is teams that are clearer, more confident and more aligned — better equipped to represent their role, expertise and organisation internally and externally.

What clients say:

Our message used to come from one person when there were many more voices to be heard and stories to share. Sharing on social platforms can be off putting when you don't know what to say , when to say it, or how to say it.  And who's really looking anyway! - is what we used to think.

Elaine changed all this for us. Quickly understanding our business, our message, our value, she delivered a few hands-on workshops to increase our skills and knowledge around social media. Our team was empowered to show up with more confidence and consistency, so our company expertise travelled further than just that one voice. Whilst the team embraced the learning at different paces, we are now all showing up with greater visibility, clearer purpose and increased connections.  This has been a fundamental part of our wider company visibility and growth plans.

Elaine's knowledge, skill and experience just makes this work - and she is great fun to work with. 

- Charlotte Dean, Managing Director, P3 People Management

Who this is designed for:

Elaine’s training is best suited to organisations where people are experienced, client-facing and expected to represent the organisation with confidence.

This work resonates particularly well with:

• Professional services teams and consultancies
• Leadership and management teams
• Client-facing roles where visibility and credibility matter
• Organisations strengthening internal and external presence

These programmes are designed for organisations that want capability built into teams — not one-off sessions or generic skills training.
