Eileen Soh

Eileen Soh is a Singapore-based LinkedIn writer and thought leadership advisor who teaches professionals how to catch a senior decision-maker’s attention in 90 seconds and give them a reason to remember you.

Before she started writing publicly, Eileen spent more than a decade writing for senior decision-makers in government and Fortune 500 companies. Working for readers with little time taught her to get to the point quickly, make every line worth reading and show immediately why something matters. That discipline still shapes her writing and teaching today.

Today, she teaches the same discipline. She conducts workshops how to use that 90 seconds to catch attention on LinkedIn and networking, and build a professional reputation that opens doors.

She has spoken at Women in Tech Singapore, RHT Law, the University of the Arts Singapore (UAS) and the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), and has been featured in The Straits Times and on The Flying Dutchman’s Morning Drive radio show.

Writes about: LinkedIn profile, networking, strategic communications, marketing
