“Claire is a very helpful and caring coach. I am a new business owner and had no idea how to navigate LinkedIn as a business. Claire not only helped me with creating impactful posts, but she also educated me on how to set up my business LinkedIn account. Claire is also very passionate about engagement and generating leads, and all of this knowledge has helped me make new contacts that I didn’t have before working with her. I would recommend Claire to anyone who is looking to find ways to build their business via a platform like LinkedIn because she knows what she is talking about. If you are on the fence about hiring— Don’t! She is worth every penny and then some! ” – Shantey Brown
“I am thankful that I met Claire at my first BNHRA Network and Chill event. Claire was super supportive and encouraging in my decision to transition from the insurance field to the HR field. I was a bit nervous and Claire gave me some great insight on my approach. Claire introduced me to LinkedIn and showed me how it would help my transition into the HR field. I can honestly say I have become obsessed with using LinkedIn! When the position of Sr. Hiring Specialist became available at my current employer, Claire helped me prepare for my interview. If it wasn’t for Claire, I would not be currently working my dream job in HR.” – Marib Dhalai
“Claire is a knowledgeable, dedicated, and inspiring coach. I joined her coaching program to learn of ways I can leverage technology to reach my full potential. I was part of a three-month program with homework and biweekly check-in calls. The pace allowed me to fully grasp the concepts we were learning and get feedback on the recommendations I implemented. At the start, Claire shared how her professional life was transformed when she tapped into LinkedIn and started to actively engage on the platform. She reviewed my Linkedin profile and provided recommendations to make it stand out and shared with me best practices about what leads to successful engagement on Linkedin. She is truly a LinkedIn expert. Claire is dedicated to her clients and can gauge where they are and provide appropriate guidance on the next step. I recall when I shared how I wanted to consistently share my reflections on the platform, she was encouraging and helped me find the balance that would work for me. Above all, Claire is an inspiring coach who walks the talk. When I look at her Linkedin profile and the successful journey she is on, I see at work all the strategies and skills we covered in the coaching program.” – Mo Muhire

“I’ve been following Claire for over a year, but never had the opportunity to speak with her directly. Last week I had the pleasure of connecting with Claire via Zoom and she’s an absolute JOY. I am drawn to people that are authentic, transparent, and present which is probably why I started following Claire. She’s extremely funny, responsive, talented, and refreshing. Claire was fully prepared for our meeting, ready to provide me with strategies, feedback, and guidance based on my goals. Far too often coaches lack the ability to provide customized solutions that work for their clients.

“I’ve had the pleasure of being co-panelist with Claire Petrie for 2 different panel discussions that were specifically about how to maximize a Linkedin profile. One of the panels, I organized for the SUNY Career Development Organization (SUNYCDO) conference in June 2019. This conference hosted career development professionals from all over New York State. When deciding who to put on this panel I immediately thought of Claire. She is an expert in using Linkedin from both the job seeker and recruiter perspective. Claire did an awesome job on the panel. She is not only a Linkedin guru but also an excellent public speaker and trainer. Just being connected to Claire on Linkedin will be helpful to you, as she can use her Linkedin profile and followers to promote your activity, posts, etc. Connect with her and then message Claire about how she may help you to meet your goals. I am glad I did.” – Ed Brodka
“Claire served as a speaker and presenter for the Buffalo Niagara Partnership’s young professionals program, BN360. The event was called “LinkedIn Lessons.” Claire is an exceptional presenter and a true expert in her field. She combines her industry knowledge of HR, LinkedIn and other key topics with her hands-on experience in a way that is both engaging and educational. She not only had the room engaged…but actually participating and asking questions. What’s more is that Claire’s LinkedIn learnings were taken and applied outside of the educational seminar. In the days, weeks, and months following attendees were using what Claire taught them – a true measure of her success as an educator, facilitator and expert in the field.” – Rachael Herrmann
