Hi Isabella,

Thanks for your post on digital identities. Your mention of using formal language on LinkedIn reminds me of all the commonly seen posts that start with “I’m happy to announce that…” on the platform. It’s interesting how many people seemingly lose their unique voices when they start posting on LinkedIn, sometimes resulting in a stark difference between their personal identity and professional identities. 

I think there’s a nuance we should keep in mind: it’s important to use formal language without falling into the trap of sounding generic. We should strive to find our own voices and maintain authenticity to stand out from the mass of uniform posts. Ultimately, crafting a professional identity that is both authentic and impactful can help us build genuine connections and enhance our rapport, both online and in real-life!

Thanks again for a great read, Isabella.
