Networking is a number one skill and Linkedin has become the number one place to do it safely, securely and free of spam. It's Facebook for grown-ups.Today maximising Linkedin to the full as part of a marketing mix is essential and vital for any healthy business.Understanding Linkedin leads to gaining visibility, credibility and an expansive network of business professionals.I discovered for myself the amazingness of Linkedin a good few years back as I wanted to build an audience for my artistic work. I built my community to 27K. Now I'm regularly consulted by small business owners and entrepreneurial movers and shakers who want this powerful potential to reach out and spread the word about their own dream missions without feeling inauthentic.In one to one consulting and groups I weave together my artistic experience and training in N.L.P (Neuro Linguistic Programming) so you get to show up joyfully, authentically, and in a way that makes sense for you. The work is to find the people that will resonate with you and your work, because no one style fits all. Warning - once you get the hang of it - It’s addictive.

  “To the singer Procter it is only necessary to be grateful to her for the opportunity the audience celebrated of re-discovering the incomparable and inimitable singularity of the beauty of the human voice. Her intervention [...] was simply dazzling for the technical solvency in the range and her versatility in having intervened in a work that demands superlative competences in order to translate the complex interior world that it expresses.” Marín, EL DIARIO“...concentration of the material and a distinctive sound... the strange dialect that the beautiful voice of Procter articulates, that seems to border on an articulated language, with the effect of the almost figurative swarming of these tiny words, more than with Pollock, the music of the ENS seems to connect with certain landscapes of [Argentinean] artist Stupía.” Monjeau, LA NACIÓN“...the formidable Welsh singer Deborah Claire Procter (her voice acting as an instrument)...the ensemble accompanies an incredible intervention of Procter, a singer that is a sort of cross between Cathy Berberian and the free jazz vocalist Lauren Newton.“ Garcia, EL AMANTEENS have earned themselves a legendary reputation performing in a variety of important venues in Latin America. Concerts: Sala Caras y Caretas, Centro Cultural Nestor Kirchner, Casa de la Cultura del Fondo Nacional de las Artes, La Trastienda, Café Vinilo - BA / Spectrum, NYC / Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, BA / Universidad Nacional de Córdoba / Teatro Municipal 3 de Febrero, Paraná “Edelstein - one of the most outstanding composers of avant-garde music in Argentina.” LA NACIÓN | “...fundamental for [his] importance & originality but, especially, for [his] power of communication."
