Goldie Chan is #1 creator on LinkedIn, a regular contributor to Forbes and the founder of social media strategy agency Warm Robots. Known as the “green-haired Oprah of LinkedIn,” she was one of the first people on LinkedIn Live and currently has the longest-running daily channel on LinkedIn with fully original content. Goldie believes everybody has the capacity to make engaging content—the trick is just figuring out which kind is best suited to your talents.
