Be original on LinkedIn: 3 tips for unique posts

💡 Start a “Brag Book.” Every time you hit a milestone, get feedback, or finish a project, write it down. It’s not bragging—it’s building proof of your value. And when you share those wins, you’re also shining a light on the impact your company is making. Future you (and your next performance review) will thank you. #PersonalBranding #CareerTips #ProfessionalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceSuccess

📚 “Books are not just stories or information — they are mirrors that reflect who we are and windows that show who we can become.” ✅ Advice: If you want to grow in your career and personal life, build a small habit of daily reading.

Your deck is not your diary.   It’s not your novel.   It’s not your PhD thesis.   And it’s definitely not a bedtime story.   Yet I keep seeing slides crammed with words, as if the audience has turned up for a reading, not a presentation.   The problem? Your brain can’t read and listen at the same time.   So if they’re reading your slides, they’ve stopped listening to you. And if they’re listening to you, they’ve stopped reading your slides.   Which means all those carefully crafted sentences on the screen? Wasted.   The solution: two decks. One “book deck” with all the details, that they can review later. One real deck for the live moment, where you, not the slides, are the point of connection.   Because you are the presentation. Always. Always. Always.

Ever find yourself sitting with your notes or textbook, just flipping pages like, “yeahhh I’m grinding, I’m locked in.” But lowkey? You’re just rereading the same line five times, highlighting like a rainbow, and convincing yourself you’re learning. Here’s the catch: rereading feels safe. It tricks your brain into thinking you’re being productive, but you’re really just vibing in comfort mode. Like when you rewatch the same Netflix show instead of starting a new one that actually makes you think. Real learning? That’s the uncomfortable stuff. Quizzing yourself, flashcards, teaching it to a friend, testing without looking at the notes. That’s the “ugh, my brain hurts” grind, but it sticks way harder than rereading. So next time you catch yourself on page 47 for the sixth time, just know: rereading isn't it. Test yourself, struggle a little, and let your brain cook fr.   #StudyTips #GoodOff #NoMoreHighlighting #StudySmartNotHard #BrainGains #StudentStruggle #CollegeLife #LearnBetter

Truly fulfilling work is an extension of who you are. The key is aligning your work to who you are and what you value most. Not the other way around.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 | 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared lessons that shaped my journey—listening more than speaking, choosing effectiveness over busyness, realizing that attitude matters more than a degree, and understanding the importance of energy and feedback. Each of these chapters was a piece of one bigger truth: your career is more than the work you do. It’s the 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱. Your 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 isn’t defined by your title or the last project you delivered. It shows up in the trust you earn by asking the right questions, the respect you gain when you focus on what truly matters, the way people remember you when you stay calm during change, the support you give by protecting others’ energy as well as your own, and the growth you unlock when you treat feedback as a helping hand rather than criticism. When you put it all together, the playbook is simple: • Speak with purpose • Work with focus • Lead with humility • Care for people • Keep growing Because in the end, jobs will change, markets will shift, and industries will evolve. But the way you show up—your personal brand—travels with you. It opens doors, builds trust, establishes you as a 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 and leaves an impression long after the meeting ends. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘁. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘁. 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁. Thank you to everyone who followed 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸. The chapters may close here, but the lessons live on—for all of us. #Jspeaks #theunwrittenplaybook #personalbranding #careergrowth #leadershipdevelopment #brandstrategy #workplacewisdom #growthmindset #leadwithpurpose #professionaljourney #inspiration

Your smartest posts vanish in 24 hours? Here’s a fix you can use today. Make posts work while you rest Try this five-part spine: • Clear title that names the outcome • Empathic hook in 3 short lines • One core idea (not five) • Skimmable sections and bullets • A gentle next step, not a shove Mini example: a coach’s essay called “The Silent Thief of Time” was gorgeous—and invisible. We retitled it “How to Finally Stop Procrastinating,” opened with a lived moment, and watch time: it started getting found, saved, and shared. Do this now: write one literal title and a three-line hook that mirrors your reader’s day. Your future reader will find it when they need it. Want the 60-minute checklist we use?
