LinkedIn Trainer, Expert and Development Coach: I am a trainer, expert and strategist on the LinkedIn social network. I also host LinkedIn Live events around the Midwest. Along with a team of partners, I help develop and facilitate corporate and scholastic training sessions to help you and area companies maximize their LinkedIn experience.
Professional Presenter: I speak to businesses, networking groups and associations on the power LinkedIn and social media can have on building your business and personal brand.
Entrepreneur: I enjoy meeting new people, especially those who run their own businesses. I started and run several businesses and the most recent endeavor is MKELive. I am energized by the entrepreneurial spirit which drives our company and economy and have always used networking as a key business building activity to help me build successful businesses.
Networker: I have started and facilitated several networking groups. I have been a connector since a young age as I come from a very large family (4 birth siblings and 17 adopted siblings from a multitude of cultures and backgrounds). I believe in the power of diversity and strong relationships and I am passionate about making connections for myself and others that can truly change businesses if not lives.
Technologist: I actively research and educate myself and others on emerging technologies and the power they have in the world around us. I am passionate about learning new applications and media and am enthusiastic to share my discoveries with others.

LinkedIn Trainer/Expert
MKELive
(Partnership; Events Services industry)
November 2007 — Present (1 year 9 months)
MKELive provides LinkedIn training, networking and event services to companies, communities and Chambers of Commerce. In essence, we help entrepreneurs and business leaders expand their professional contacts to leverage their products and services through larger – and more powerful – professional networks.
MKELive is the brainchild of Katie Felten. An entrepreneur and natural networker, Katie signed up as a LinkedIn user in 2006 and immediately recognized it as a tool that could exponentially expand peoples’ opportunities in their careers or sales efforts. Her skill in teaching and communicating the useful tools of networking through LinkedIn, Twitter and simple face-to-face communications led to the creation of LinkedIn Milwaukee. As this monthly event grew in popularity – and as Katie was asked for private LinkedIn consulting with increasing regularity – she quickly recognized the need for a LinkedIn and social media resource. The result – MKELive.
One of MKELive’s most recognized assets is its network of 17 regional and four specialty “Link Up” groups. The regional Link Up groups provide business professionals with opportunities to network with other LinkedIn users, develop new relationships and learn tips using LinkedIn.
MKELive is also known for its customized training curriculum for organizations with specific LinkedIn needs. In May 2009, MKELive developed an exclusive partnership with Sales Progress that allows both firms to provide enterprise-level LinkedIn training that specifically addresses areas in advanced selling, human resources, customer service, marketing and branding.
Today, MKELive continues to remain true to its core service – LinkedIn training. With the help of its strategic partners, it is also expanding its services in event management, social media consultation, training and marketing. -
