Why Your LinkedIn Posts Sound Corporate (and How to Fix It)

Spend enough time in the LinkedIn feed and you start writing like it: hedged claims, committee-safe phrasing, an opening that clears its throat for two lines before saying anything. It feels professional. It reads as forgettable.

The irony is that the platform full of that voice is exactly where a plainly human one stands out most.

Take a real position instead of a balanced non-statement. Use a specific example from your own work. Cut the throat-clearing and start on the tension. Write the first two lines to earn the "see more," because that's all that shows before the fold.

The hard part is doing this consistently without it eating your week - which is where drafting in your own voice, fast, changes what's sustainable.
