Portia Obeng is a trainer and strategist helping organizations and individuals show up with clarity, confidence, and results.
 

LINKEDIN TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Forget boring training. There’s a better way to learn.

You know that person who has been doing great work for years but still struggles to explain what they do? Or the business owner who has an excellent product or service but isn't sure how to get more people to notice?

Having the skills, experience, and expertise is one thing. Knowing how to communicate them, build relationships, and show up online is another.

That's what we work on at Portia Obeng LLC.

Our training helps professionals, students, and entrepreneurs communicate their value, strengthen their digital presence, and show up with confidence.

We design and facilitate interactive LinkedIn, personal branding, and digital presence training for organizations, government agencies, universities, associations, and small-business programs. Whether we're working with employees, college students, entrepreneurs, or business owners, our goal is to give people skills they can actually use.

And yes, we believe training should be fun, too!

Your people have the talent. Let’s make sure people clearly understand it.

Think about the people in your organization. They have experience, ideas, accomplishments, and skills that deserve recognition. But are they communicating those things effectively?

What about the college students preparing to enter the workforce? Do they know how to talk about their strengths and make professional connections?

And the small-business owners in your programs? Are they using LinkedIn and other digital platforms to help people understand what they offer and why their business is worth considering?

These are skills people need, but they're not always taught.

That's where we come in.

What can we help your audience learn?

LinkedIn Strategy: Learn How to Work the Platform

Your employees, students, members, or small-business clients may already have LinkedIn profiles. But do they know how to use the platform to build professional relationships, communicate their expertise, and create opportunities?

Our LinkedIn workshops help them understand how to use LinkedIn with intention, from making a profile easier to find to strategically building a network, engaging with the right people, and sharing content that gives people a reason to pay attention.

Personal Branding: Communicate Value and Impact

Whether you're preparing students for the workforce, investing in employee development, or helping small-business owners grow their reputations, personal branding is an important skill.

Our personal branding workshops help participants identify what sets them apart, communicate their strengths, and become more intentional about how they present their experience and expertise both online and in-person. It's practical professional development that can benefit people at every stage of their careers and businesses.

Digital Presence: Showing Up Effectively Online

From LinkedIn to a Google Business Profile to a website, an online presence influences how others discover, understand, and engage with entrepreneurs and small business owners.

They only have 10 to 20 seconds to capture a potential customer’s attention, so they have to position themselves in a memorable way that converts.

Our digital presence workshops help participants learn how to make their online presence more consistent, credible, and reflective of the value they bring.

A B O U T
Who is Portia Obeng ?

I've spent nearly 15 years working in training, social media strategy, and content management. Along the way, I've had the opportunity to work with professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and organizations across different industries.

One thing I've noticed? People often have more to offer than they're communicating.

Sometimes they need help figuring out what makes them different. Sometimes they need to get more comfortable talking about their accomplishments. And sometimes they simply need someone to show them how to use a platform or tool they haven't quite figured out.

That's the work I enjoy.

I love taking a topic that people might find intimidating or overwhelming and making it easier to understand. I also believe people learn best when they can participate, ask questions, share experiences, and have a little fun along the way.

Whether I'm teaching a room full of college students, facilitating a corporate workshop, or working with small-business owners, I want people to leave thinking, "OK, I can do this!"

Because they can.

Outside of my business, I love being Ghanaian, hanging with my family and friends, eating spicy food, dancing, experiencing live music, and reading a good romance book (preferably on a beautiful beach in Ghana).
