Tom Etherington has spent the last decade helping people use LinkedIn to amplify their networking and build a storytelling and branding strategy that gains credibility, trust, and wins business.

Affectionately known as ‘The LinkedIn Guy,’ Tom presents on leveraging LinkedIn for networking, and is a popular podcast guest having been featured on podcasts including two episodes with BNI Founder Ivan Misner. His unique ability to tell engaging and authentic stories has made him a sought-after speaker and coach.

In episode 277 of YOUR CAREER Podcast, discover how his fascinating career journey took him from London to Sydney, from the London Evening Standard to EMAP as TV editor to editor at Bauer Media, Pacific Magazines and now as founder of his company, Connect Content.

Connect Content is the go-to agency for online personal and business branding, with LinkedIn strategy, coaching, and content at the heart of each campaign.

Before launching Connect Content, Tom interviewed celebrities for 20 years as an entertainment journalist and editor. This experience honed his passion for storytelling and equipped him with the skills to uncover and present compelling narratives for individuals and organisations.

Fun Fact: Tom’s parents wrote a UK sitcom called Second Thoughts in the 1990s, which was based on his family life. Watched by millions, everyone in the show was a household name… except the actor who played Tom. It was his first and last role. The entire story is quite amazing … listen and enjoy!

Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place - Age Discrimination in Australia

New research from the Australian Human Rights Commission reveals a shocking truth: employers are crying out for workers while systematically excluding them based on age.

Key findings show only 56% of employers will hire 50-64 year olds, dropping to 28% for those 65+, while just 41% are open to hiring 15-24 year olds.

Even more concerning - 24% of HR professionals now classify workers over 50 as "older," up 10% from 2023!

Jane explores why this research is important to mid-career professionals, and shares strategies mature Australian workers can use to navigate this challenging landscape with confidence.
