During this episode, You, Me, and Your Top Three host and CGS Advisors CEO, Gregg Garrett, discusses how CEOs may be able to take a lesson from government during this pandemic. He then welcomes Brenda Meller, Chief Engagement Officer at Meller Marketing. Brenda is a social media marketing expert who shares how to unlock the power of LinkedIn to grow your network. Of course, Brenda speaks about her \\u2018Top Three\\u2019 ranging from her closest family members who keep her true to herself and cheer her along the way, to vendors who go beyond being just vendors, to a services company she leans on to help her find efficiencies to scale. And you have to hear what she has to say about being brave and putting yourself out there to succeed in social media.

Once upon a time, I hated speaking in front of people. Then, I realized I needed to figure out how to get comfortable with it to move up in my career.\\xa0 In 2006, I joined LinkedIn and developed a knack for helping others unlock the power of this amazing professional networking site. Fast forward to 2020 and now as an independent marketing consultant, I\'ve trained thousands of individuals, corporate teams, conference attendees, executives, sales people, and marketers how to unlock the power of LinkedIn. PLUS: I also give away a pie to one lucky attendee every time I present. 2020 has already been an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G year at Meller Marketing. And if you\'re looking to ROCK on LinkedIn, I\'d love to help YOU. www.linkedin.com/in/brendameller
