The best LinkedIn Posts

I suspect that an hour with Claude Cowork will give knowledge workers that "Claude Code" moment of realizing that these AI systems have suddenly gotten very very good, very quickly. Especially when it comes to complex projects.

I pointed Claude Cowork at a set of 107 documents (PPTs, Word docs, Excel) that were initially hand-created for my class at Wharton & expanded on by AI. They make up a very complex business case with lots of issues & opportunities spread across many different documents.

In a single go (deploying multiple agents spontaneously) it cracked the case and put together a PowerPoint with recommendations and approaches.

You don't need to be smart.
You need to be consistent. Proof Below.

90% of LinkedIn users waste their profile.

Because they don’t know how to build it right.

Here’s a cheat sheet to fix that 👇

☑︎ Headline
Bold + Clear → Result + Role + Skills + Who you help.

☑︎ About
Say who you are.
What you do.
Who you help.
Show proof with real results.

☑︎ Posts
3–5 a week.
Share wins.
Share fails.
Share tools.
Share client stories.

☑︎ Skills
List 25 for your role.
Add the tools you actually use.

☑︎ Endorsements & Recs
Ask for them.
Short, clear, polite works best.

☑︎ Tools 
Gamma
Notion
Typegrow 
Synthesia
Supergrow 
AI SuitUp
EasyGen

They’ll get you seen faster.

The truth?
Your LinkedIn isn’t a CV.
It’s your stage.

Make it sharp.
Make it sell you.

📌 P.S. Do you post 3 - 5 times a week?
Or are you still holding back?

I don’t even know if my company, VaynerMedia, looks at resumes. I sure don’t.
I hire SVPs and VPs — I did two interviews the other day — and I have no clue where any candidate worked or what college they went to.

Now, do college degrees matter? Yes, of course there are several professions where you need a college degree & many others who only hire from the Ivies, but it's not the standard for everyone anymore.

My company is a real legit company—the hottest Madison Avenue agency out there—we don't even require a college degree. I couldn't tell you what college 99% of my employees went to...

I have no f*cking clue. It doesn't matter. And by the way, other, real companies are taking it out of the equation too. Some of the best engineers ... these kids today are saying, "F*ck college! I'm going to make millions by building a little app."

It's becoming like sports out here. Nobody gave a f*ck that LeBron didn't go to college ... so I think businesses are starting to become like sports...

Talk to me about your TALENT, not about what box you check ✅

The hardest person you will ever lead is yourself. Master that and your influence grows everywhere you go.

Another strategic partnership tragically ending in divergent roadmaps and an inability to align on shared deliverables moving forward...

The best leaders don’t have all the answers.

They ask better questions.

One of the best leaders I ever had opened meetings with:

“What’s on your mind?”

No agenda.
No status update.
Just space to talk.

And people shared.
Because the way he listened made it obvious he cared.

Most managers talk.

Great leaders listen.

They don’t assume. They ask.

They don’t direct. They empower.

They don’t guess. They learn.

8 questions to try this week:

1/ How are you doing, really?
2/ What would make you feel more valued here?
3/ How can I better support you?
4/ What’s preventing you from doing your best work?
5/ What’s your next career goal, and how can I help?
6/ What decisions would you like to make on your own?
7/ What would make your work more meaningful?
8/ What skills would you like to develop next?

Ask one question a day.

Your team won’t be the same.

Most people think success just comes from working harder.
They're wrong.

It comes from willing to be different.

Not:
• Doing the “cool” thing
• Chasing someone else's idea of success
• Staying in a job because you're scared of being judged

But instead making choices others won't understand.

Like:
• Choosing freedom over status
• Making decisions that your family think are crazy
• Taking "weird" jobs where you can develop unique skills

The reality is...
Innovation rarely happens in crowds
New paths aren't walked by committees
The life you want doesn't come from following the herd

The price of being extraordinary isn't just working harder.
It's being comfortable standing alone.

At first, different feels uncomfortable.
Different feels uncertain.

But...
We're all different anyway, so just embrace it.
