What's Professional Now?

I used to think LinkedIn was a place to be polished, professional, and never too personal.

 Now I scroll past:

→ a selfie with a raw, honest caption—and I stop

→ a meme post that makes me laugh or cringe a little…

→ or a heartfelt personal post that makes me cry.

 I 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 something. 

And I keep scrolling… but I keep 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Something is shifting.

Not just on LinkedIn but in the workplace.

 We’re watching a generational shift in real time. 

And instead of resisting it, I’m not only curious—I’m here for it.

I grew up with resumes and press releases. 

I still love a smart strategy, a clean headline, and a well-written post. 

But I see the value of unfiltered videos and meme posts from those who grew up with selfies and side hustles.

Both are showing up to work. 

Both are trying to be understood.

If you work in communication, or leadership, or frankly 𝘪𝘯 the workplace, this shift matters.

It’s not about one way of communicating being better. 

It’s about learning each other’s language.

Because this isn’t just a platform shift. 

It’s a culture shift.

What’s labeled “cringe” today might just be tomorrow’s clarity.
