About
Leveraging his academic background, training in improvisational comedy at The Second City, and many years in broadcast media, JD GERSHBEIN is literally reinventing the concept of the personal brand strategist. An early adopter of social media, he has firmly established himself as a thought leader on the topic and a positive role model for people in all walks of business striving for excellence in the Digital Age. His multidisciplinary approach blends neuroscience, psychology, and the humanities, and affords his audiences valuable insights into how personal branding drives decision making and shapes our professional destiny. One of the world’s first independent LinkedIn consultants, JD remains at the forefront of training individuals and companies on LinkedIn best practices. He quickly rose to prominence as a LinkedIn profile writer, pioneering a proprietary methodology for crafting outcome-focused, story-driven content that positions his clients as executive leaders, thought leaders, trusted advisors, innovators, value creators, and solutionists. Those who retain JD to design their LinkedIn strategy will gain clarity on their personal brand narrative, convert more online conversations into real-world business wins, and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. Having fashioned his own inimitable style of communication, JD has cultivated an image as a “professional edutainer.” He is known for staging unique, interactive learning experiences that teach and delight audiences. He is an eminent speaker of unquestionable authenticity who brings candor, humor, and emotional intelligence to his keynotes, breakouts, workshops, and exclusive live events. As the creator and impresario behind a burgeoning broadcast media platform, which blends educational programming, entertainment, and networking, JD continues to blaze a trail as one of the most original personalities in new media.Company Spotlight in Tech
