Stephen Ryan recommends Doctor LinkedIn

" I was lucky to have David speak at my very first 24 Stories Conference and he delivered a fantastic keynote that people really learned from. David also gave two great workshops in the afternoon of the conference and the feedback from those attending was excellent. If you are looking for someone to talk about LinkedIn at your event look no further than David." - Stephen Ryan, Founder, 24 Stories


"David delivered an excellent package for us that started with an inspiring and very enjoyable group presentation which got all of our diverse team aligned with a common sense of purpose and focus. He followed that up by providing detailed 40-minute remote phone and skype consultations with everyone on the team, delivered one to one, covering the US to the UK. He was also able to spend time one on one with our founder and CEO to assist and guide his social media activity.

Karla Rivershaw recommends Doctor LinkedIn

As a result of his work, we feel that our collective profiles on LinkedIn are far more focused and cohesive. We also have more confidence and structure to how we all interact on LinkedIn to help build our audience, and inform and keep close to our existing and future customers.

I can highly recommend his LinkedIn services - he's knowledgeable, professional, flexible and highly attentive" - Karla Rivershaw, Head of Marketing, Turtl

How do The Flying Doctor's Live Profile Surgeries or Remote Surgery work?

Here are some of the situations where I've delivered profile surgeries

  • During conferences, with delegates booking online in advance for one to one sessions, and fees met either met by organisers or delegates
  • Pre-booked and drop-in advice hybrids, sometimes with a professional headshot photographer
  • In conference hubs or breakout areas with a pop-up stand and laptop
  • Provided to all speakers prior to an event to ensure everyone's profile is at its best before their presentation
  • Delivered along with group workshops as part of your conference programme
  • Delivered remotely via zoom or bespoke webinar platforms

Doctor David Petherick's services have been delivered in Barcelona, Moscow, London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, Cork, Manchester, Madrid, Marseille, Paris, Venice, Amsterdam & beyond...

Let's talk about what will suit your event and how best to optimise the service to add value for your delegates.

  • Where? You choose. I'm Scottish born and a UK passport holder.
  • When? You choose. Times can be built to work around your event schedule.
  • How much? You cover travel & subsistence and we negotiate a fee. Or there's a fee to cover everything. Or delegates pay a subsidised rate with a booking badged with your identity. It's flexible.
  • What Language? Provided in English. I speak reasonable Russian and Spanish, but am not a native speaker. Experienced working with simultaneous and consecutive interpreting.

Introducing the new Flying Doctor Company Surgery Day

Invest as little as 70 minutes of your staff's time to get great results on LinkedIn

Also available delivered as a remote service to suit your work-from-home workforce

This is a new packaged service driven by customer demand.

  • Doctor David Petherick in Manchester at Lloyd's Bank

    Doctor David Petherick in Manchester at Lloyd's Bank

    We start the day with a lively customised 30-50-minute keynote describing how your organisation and personnel can be more visible legible and credible on LinkedIn - the why and how

  • This is followed by a Q&A session
  • Next up, The Doctor offers individual one-to-one profile surgeries
  • Alternatively, for groups over 12, or if you're pushed for time, the keynote is followed by a workshop, with laptops out, and live updates made to profiles
  • The Doctor can also offer a bespoke booking mechanism for 10-20 minute one-to-one profile surgeries, to take place at a future date and time to suit your individual delegates. This is very time-efficient and lets delegates make arrangements to suit their specific situation and agenda.
  • Another value-added option is to have a professional headshot photographer on site to take shots of every member of your team to use on their new, improved LinkedIn Profiles

The benefit for your organisation is that at the end of as little as half a day's input, your team will be educated, motivated, with fully aligned consistent profiles, and will be armed with tools, strategies and knowledge to boost your business presence through LinkedIn, and optionally, with everyone looking great with consistent, professional profile photographs

Let's talk about what will suit your organisation, and how best to optimise the service to add value for your team or delegates.

  • Where? Anywhere. Technology now allows these events to be delivered effectively online.
  • When? You choose the date. Each individuals' time commitment can be as little as 30 minutes for the keynote, then 10 minutes for a one to one profile surgery. So this can be an investment of just 40 minutes of your valuable individual staff member's time.
  • How much? Investment for up to 12 people with the classic Flying Doctor service is £1600. The Key Surgery Package for up to 24 people is £1800. The Doctor is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. These fees exclude any travel, travel time, and subsistence costs.
  • Per head? That's an investment of as little as £75 for each individual benefitting from the training.
  • Headshot Photography costs vary with location, but cover most of the UK and can be from zero-fee, with delegates paying direct online for any headshots they like, or with a 'one fee covers all' arrangement.
  • I reverse the risk: The Flying Doctor comes with a unique 100% 1,000 day satisfaction guarantee.
  • Book Flying Doctor today: Schedule a free discovery call with David Petherick today.

Fergus Dearle"David is one of the good guys. I met David at StartupCamp in London a couple of year ago. StartupCamp is one of the new wave of 'Un'-conferences with no agenda or predetermined speakers. I can imagine that these events could fall flat on their faces unless the attendees are prepared to contribute. Fortunately we had David at this one. David's ability as a moderator/speaker/contributor at this conference was one of the highlights of the event for me." - Fergal Dearle

Fiona Ashe"I attended a social media masterclass delivered by David Petherick in Dublin in 2009 and it was enlightening. His communications skills are exceptional! The digital world is vast and complex: however David expertly distills it into understandable bitesize insights. He is an engaging, entertaining public speaker who delivers presentations that outline practical, implementable actions which maximize the benefit to those who attend. David was very generous in sharing further expertise with me following that masterclass and I feel privileged to have continuous opportunities to learn from him." - Fiona Ashe
