About Linkedin
LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, enabling members to connect, share insights, and discover opportunities. It fosters career growth, drives collaboration, and supports innovation in diverse global workplaces.
Our approach
Keynote
The audience:
A global finance & operations organization of over 200 team members
CLIENT CHALLENGES:
LinkedIn’s operations team recognized it was heading into a year of unprecedented change; fueled by post-pandemic shifts, rapidly evolving AI capabilities, and a heightened need for global compliance—the leadership team saw signs of organizational resistance to new systems and structures. Seeking to unify and energize over 200 professionals at their first in-person summit in years, they reached out for a keynote experience that could drive collaboration, resilience, and renewed commitment to the company’s ambitious priorities.
Pivoting for a year of tremendous change: LinkedIn needed to align the operation organization’s mindset and strategy to support major shifts announced at the company-wide kickoff while accelerating new priorities.
Maintaining speed and compliance in a rapidly evolving environment: Leaders faced the dual challenge of driving innovation for business growth while ensuring rigorous financial accuracy and adherence to strict regulations.
Overcoming natural resistance: The global Finance team sought methods to break through the hesitation and discomfort that surface when processes and systems outpace current resources.
THE RESULTS: 1 MONTH POST-EVENT
Unified and Energized Team: Sterling’s keynote quickly aligned the global Finance organization around a shared sense of purpose, infusing the summit with renewed energy and connection.
Actionable Tools & Personal Commitments: Participants received clear frameworks to transform ideas into personal commitments, ensuring tangible next steps were taken beyond the event.
Immediate Shift in Mindset: Almost instantly, the team began referencing “no matter what” in everyday conversations, reflecting a newly embraced willingness to tackle challenges head-on.
Memorable, Customized Experience: By weaving in LinkedIn-specific insights and spending ample time engaging with attendees, Sterling delivered a uniquely resonant keynote that left a lasting impression on every participant.
“Bringing in Sterling was the best decision we made for our summit...so much so that we blew the budget to make it happen.
