Passively Impudent

By Bob Deakin

The fact you are on LinkedIn is proof you are being your best self. You’re putting it out there, whatever IT is. Keep up the good work! 

There is No Shame in Hard Work 

The tedious moments and unpleasant tasks separate you from the rest. Another edit, download, more research, posts, keywords, and a tenth version of your bio. 

Be proud. 

You graciously use Outlook, WhatsApp, Slack and Google Chat. One client likes Zoom for meetings, another Microsoft Teams (why?), and another, Starbucks. 

Breathe… Just breathe…

We’re not connections, we’re kindred spirits (except for the hackers, humblebraggers and lunatics). [note to self: possible band name]

Passively Impudent

Merriam-Webster describes Impudence as “being offensively bold, disrespectful, or shameless, characterized by a disregard for others’ feelings or social boundaries.” 

I like it! LinkedIn is a social network with boundaries. I’ll be passively impudent if you will. 

“YOUR BOOK, MARKETING, AEO, GEO and SEO ARE NO GOOD!!!”

“I’m good. Thank you for asking.”

You’ve seen it all. 

Kindred spirits shine through in a heartbeat. Embrace them. And you. Be devoted, hopelessly in love with yourself. Do I hear a song?

Passively Impudent with You. 

Let me work on the title.
