Biography

Sophie Lechner is a speaker, author, and business coach who helps mission-driven entrepreneurs turn marketing from a chore into a joy—so they can attract clients like a magnet instead of chasing them.

​Her mastery of LinkedIn over the past 20 years has led to global speaking engagements, including Oxford University, podcast features, and media recognition in Forbes and Authority Magazine.

​She has developed the Magnet Model, a powerful framework for client attraction which she shares in her upcoming book, Unlock Your Impact (March 2025).

Passion

Connecting with new people, learning new things, connecting people to each other, working with clients.

Origin Story

As a kid of mixed origins I traveled the world with my parents meeting friends and family. I developed a passion for connecting with people from different backgrounds. When the LinkedIn platform was launched I fell in love with it and started using it extensively for fun. 15 years later, when the pandemic hit, I started helping entrepreneurs around me and it led me to begin a LinkedIn coaching practice. Realizing I was offering a lot more than just how to use LinkedIn, I studied what I was doing and created the Magnet Model, a framework I teach in my upcoming book, Unlock Your Impact.
