Your lesson plan · about 10 minutes
Check whether every platform tells the same story
Compare three public touchpoints and identify the one inconsistency most likely to weaken confidence.
Your short exercise
- Open your LinkedIn profile, website or portfolio, and one other active channel.
- Write the expertise, values and tone a visitor would infer from each.
- Align one conflicting headline, bio, image or proof point so all three feel recognisably connected.
Worked example
A consultant uses the same outcome-led description across LinkedIn, their website bio and speaking profile while adapting the length for each space.
Check your output
- □ The same core expertise is recognisable everywhere.
- □ The tone feels like one person across platforms.
- □ Each touchpoint adds evidence rather than a competing identity.
