David Petherick
The Doctor is In
Hello, I'm David Petherick.
I am 22 years old with 33 years of experience (55), I have been writing LinkedIn profiles, advising organisations on LinkedIn marketing & advertising, and speaking about effective use of LinkedIn since 2006.
"I was lucky to have David speak at my very first 24 Stories Conference and he delivered a fantastic keynote that people really learned from. David also gave two great workshops in the afternoon of the conference and the feedback from those attending was excellent.
If you are looking for someone to talk about LinkedIn at your event look no further than David.
On top of his expertise on LinkedIn David is also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with, I was blown away by his engagement with everyone at the conference and with his replies to people online after the event was finished. Looking forward to having David back in Cork again in the future."
- Stephen Ryan

"David is a honey pot, he can draw people together, enthrall them, persuade people to listen and participate in events or listen to him speak.
I have worked with him on numerous occasions and he can make interviews interesting, words make sense when spoken - he translates technical aspects into real life normal words.
He delivers on time and executes with a professionalism, that is second to none whilst maintaining a clear focus on the audience and goals that are to be met."

Detailed Proposal
Event at Halifax New Oxford Street <strong>April / May-2020</strong>

Format: Presentation of approximately 45 minutes followed by 15 Minutes Question & Answers. Followed by two hours of one-to-one surgeries offered to delegates via simple booking system.
Option: Additional 10-Minute Profile Microsurgeries for those unable to take part on day of event - all booking handled by my own automated system.
Audience: To be confirmed. I will present with a Business or Consumer focus accordingly.
Date: Provisionally in April or May 2020, times to be confirmed.
Location: Halifax New Oxford Street, London
Equipment Requirements:
Visual and PA
Data Projector /Screen with 16:9 ratio and HDMI or VGA connector for laptop, cordless microphone or lapel microphone, and PA. Power supply and wifi connection.
One to One Surgery 'Booth'
If option of one to one surgery for delegates is included, an enclosed room or quiet area aside from the main venue would be ideal to allow confidential discussions to take place. Ideally with power supply, and ideally with task lighting. Wifi connection required.
One to One Profile Microsurgeries at Halifax, New Oxford Street, London
Proposal:
The Doctor would deliver a presentation of approximately 45 minutes to start the event, answer questions for 15 minutes, and then optionally be available to all delegates after the presentation to deliver informal one-to-one LinkedIn Profile ‘surgery’ at a designated area.
Assuming eight minute average consultations, this would allow conversations with approximately 16 delegates, assuming a 3-hour overall event.
An additional table could be provided with David's Android tablet device on a tethered stand, with a custom version of Doctor LinkedIn's interactive Ten Tips for a better LinkedIn Profile pre-loaded as browser home page content. This content can be co-branded with your corporate identity.
One or two additional tables might be provided, with additional tablets (to be supplied by Halifax) or furnished with printed materials in sufficient quantities for all delegates. This can include provision of one-page 30 Top LinkedIn Profile Tips, again, if required, co-branded with Halifax identity.
Option:
Offer via literature and presentation information a link allowing delegates to book a personal ten minute one to one phone or skype / zoom surgery with Doctor LinkedIn as part of your package for them.
This would allow them to discuss their individual profile and use of LinkedIn with me individually by skype, zoom or phone, at a future date to suit their diaries, and I would follow up these calls with individual written ‘prescriptions’ of tips and advice.
An version of this service is described at https://mzs.es/p20m. The booking mechanism and written advice to delegates can be co-branded and delivered as a Halifax service, in line with your requirements.
You can see a simple demonstration of how my online booking system works at https://mzs.es/free.
Rest assured that no sales messages, upselling or pitching for additional services would be a part in this package - it would simply be a complimentary ‘One to One Doctor’s Surgery’ offered with the compliments of Halifax.

"David delivered an excellent package for us that started with an inspiring and very enjoyable group presentation which got all of our diverse team aligned with a common sense of purpose and focus.
He followed that up by providing detailed 40-minute remote phone and Skype consultations with everyone on the team, delivered one to one, covering the US to the UK.
He was also able to spend time one on one with our founder and CEO to assist and guide his social media activity.
As a result of his work, we feel that our collective profiles on LinkedIn are far more focused and cohesive. We also have more confidence and structure to how we all interact on LinkedIn to help build our audience, and inform and keep close to our existing and future customers.
I can highly recommend his LinkedIn services - he's knowledgeable, professional, flexible and highly attentive"
