Often the smart ambitious women that I talk to every week are not being assertive enough on LinkedIn.

This week my theme is about being more assertive in the workplace without getting labelled as aggressive. At the same time I don't want you to be underestimated.

When I work with my clients, whether one-to-one or in a group, I notice that women who present as confident and assertive in the workplace .... well their LinkedIn profile tells a different story. If you want to make a bigger impact and attract the right career opportunities you need to be more assertive on LinkedIn too.

Discover 3 smart ways that you can be more assertive on LinkedIn:

• Maximise your LinkedIn profile summary to 'big yourself up'
• Focus on the more senior roles not the junior ones from the past
• Add more skills to your profile
