Why LinkedIn Matters for Leaders

For leaders, LinkedIn is more than a place to share updates. It provides an opportunity to build credibility, connect with people who can support your organisation’s goals and strengthen relationships across your sector and beyond.

This session will help you take a more strategic approach to LinkedIn, focusing on how your presence, influence and relationships can contribute to wider organisational goals.

Rather than simply being more active online, the focus is on using LinkedIn with greater purpose.

What Members Say About CO3

We’re delighted to get behind the financial resilience programme who, which will support a range of charity leaders from the small right through to the large, will really help give them the skills to be strong and be there for their communities for as long as they’re needed.

As a chief executive it is a very lonely job at times, particularly in small charities and Northern Ireland has got many small charities. So when you feel that loneliness or isolation, the one thing that CO3 brought was the ability to go and chat to somebody, whether it be a mentor or whether it be just another chief exec to bounce off.

Kate Fleck
Member of the Board, OCN NI

CO3 offer a wide range of courses for middle, middle managers, senior managers and chief executives within the third sector. Some of the programmes include the Leading Edge programme, there’s other leadership programmes available and then they also offer some micro learning sessions around how to present things like finances to your board of directors, reviewing your governance structure within the organisation and they would bring in some expert facilitators to deliver those sessions as well.
