LinkedIn post ideas about finding your voice

Many professionals start posting on LinkedIn by imitating others, and it shows. The path to finding your own voice, your own perspective, and your own way of communicating is something every content creator goes through. Sharing that path helps others find theirs.

6 post ideas to try

  1. 1Describe the specific moment you stopped trying to sound like other LinkedIn creators and started sounding like yourself.
  2. 2Share the post that felt many 'you', the one you almost didn't publish because it was too honest or too different.
  3. 3Write about the feedback that helped you understand what your unique voice actually sounds like to others.
  4. 4Tell the story of the content phase you went through that wasn't you, the corporate voice, the motivational voice, the expert voice.
  5. 5Share how you found the topics that are authentically yours versus the ones you thought you 'should' post about.
  6. 6Describe what your writing or speaking sounds like at its best and the conditions that bring that voice out.

Someone told me my posts sounded like ChatGPT. They were right. Here's how I found my actual voice.

Tips for writing about this topic

  • Show the evolution. Before-and-after examples of your own content are compelling and educational.
  • Talk about what you stopped doing, not what you started. Finding your voice is partly about elimination.
  • Be specific about what 'authenticity' means for you. Abstract authenticity advice doesn't help anyone. What does YOUR voice sound like?
