Bill has spent the past 25 years studying how work gets done, and much of what he’s found horrifies him. On this episode, we’re going to dive into Bill’s latest book Future Strong. We’ll hear from Bill why the disruptive economy requires a workforce that is future strong and exactly what that means to each of us individually and to brands around the world. Tune in to hear Bill’s secrets to building your best future and how to lead your organization into the future.
On this episode you’ll discover:
- Where Bill’s moniker Simpleton Bill came from and how it relates to “more, better, faster.”
- How Future Strong was inspired by Charles Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities and how people are struggling to keep up with everything.
- How the workforce needs to rely more on teammates (co-workers) and procedures, and the choices required to be future strong.
- How every business needs A Players, and how everyone needs to be an A Player in some area of the business.
- Why Bill says, everyone is facing an “Innovator’s Dilemma,” and how we all must be willing to be a “disruptive hero.”
- Why you should manage your skills like an investment portfolio by being prepared for tomorrow and be willing to let go of what no longer serves you.
- Why you should be intensely curious to be future strong.
- Why Bill says, personal choices are corporate choices, and corporate choices are personal choices.
- When researching for Future Strong, Bill crowd-sourced 7,000 senior executives, asking them, “What makes you, you?” and “What makes the tough choices that we all need to make as leaders to make future strong organizations?”
“The personal choices we make, also relate to how we work in the corporation.” @simpletonbill

10 thoughts on “15 LinkedIn Profile Optimization Tips to Get Found This 2023”
My LinkedIn account was ranking on the first page for best mommys blog keyword quite a few years back and I didn’t have any idea. While working, I stumbled upon the Analytic section of LinkedIn and saw that most of the visitors are coming from search engine later on I realized that in my profile I’ve used “Mommy’s blog” word a lot of time and that is the reason why it was ranking well on SERP. This is how I came to know about SEO and I was also amazed by the fact that how easy it was to rank for competitive keywords back then. Anyways loved your article and please share more tips on SEO.
Thanks for sharing. The number of times you mention a word or phrase is still a factor for sure.

There is a lot of value in this article, especially for those looking to improve their visibility on LinkedIn. My favorite of the fifteen tips shared in this article is number nine.

Interesting article, thank you for taking the time to put it together.

Thank you for another great blog post. For the alt text and/or naming images, do you mean two to three different keyword phrases as a maximum, like this?
