LinkedIn

There are days LinkedIn feels like a conversation.

People sharing ideas or a recent promotion, even (imagine if you can) a thoughtful article that makes you pause for a minute.

And then there are the other days.

The scroll gets longer.

The voices get louder (and more shrill)

Everyone seems to be announcing something bigger, faster, better.

That’s when the platform shifts from connection to comparison.

The trick, I think, is remembering that LinkedIn is a tool, not a mirror of your worth.

Use it to learn.

Use it to share.

Use it to reach out to someone interesting.

But every now and then, close the tab.

The most important work you’ll ever post about is the work you’re doing while you’re not scrolling.
