Welcome back for another episode of Health Coach Conversations! Today, Cathy talks with social media expert Karen Yankovich. She works with people across social media and of all the platforms available, she truly believes everyone needs a LinkedIn profile because it comes up more readily in Google searches. Karen also believes LinkedIn allows you to take control of your brand in the digital marketing world.
