LinkedIn Post (and new manifesto for the future):
My LinkedIn policy for 2025 (and beyond): I'm dropping corporate speak.
I can't remember a single time in my life when it served me. Not one memory of someone who used it that made me want to follow them on any adventure.
It's the language used by those who feel obligated to communicate but don't want to rock the boat.
It's the language we encourage in companies when we build profitability on teams that we deny the tools to create genuine connection.
It's the lukewarm water of the last century.
Done!
I don't intend to be rude or hurtful, but I can't stand the blah blah blah anymore.
And I'm going to stop with the systematic emojis too. Once in a while, sure, to capture a smile on my face, but when it becomes a style "to grab attention," honestly, I can't take it anymore. I don't even read anymore.
And if you use an LLM to format your posts and add the right icons and "the positive tone desirable on a professional network," I think you're collectively hurting us and I'm going to stop following you.
My mistake was trying to network with people who don't interest me. Telling myself "I'll keep them just in case." No no no no no. "Hell yeah, or nothing." Or, as Jung said: "For the best to happen, the good must be set aside."
This is also a good time to stop following me. The worst is yet to come 🙂.
Happy back-to-school season.
