Here's your first dose
Ian Yong Hoe Tan
I help people learn and grow through the power of words, visuals and AI. There is always a better way.
Now you've done it.
You've subscribed to yet another LinkedIn newsletter where every paragraph aspires to the length of a sentence.
But I promise not to waste your time.
The simple purpose of this newsletter is to let you check out what earth-shattering posts I've written this past week. Then, you can decide whether to read on or just swipe me away.
I write a lot on LinkedIn because, firstly, I tell my undergrad students that we must write daily to keep our writing sharp. In turn, I must walk the talk or be a hypocrite (shudder).
Secondly, I believe LinkedIn is where all of us need to build our personal brand because nobody really reads your paper CV anymore.
Why, if you aren't posting on LI, you don't actually exist in this new strange world where everyone is beating their chest and telling you how successful they are. My readers know I avoid writing such cringey stuff.
But posting frequently creates another problem.
My friends constantly tell me, "Ian, you're posting too much! I can't keep up!" or "I unfollowed you because your posts keep appearing in my feed."
OK, I get the message! Thus, even though I have a lecture to prepare today, I'm slapping this first newsletter together to prevent my remaining friendships from blowing up.
With any post or newsletter, I try to let you see the world a little differently by shifting the lens ever so slightly. Perhaps, just perhaps, your world will begin to change for the better as well.
Disclaimer: This newsletter...
OK, let's cut the BS and get straight to the good stuff. I wrote a lot about dragons this week as it's the Chinese New Year and lots of Wood Dragons will be born in coming months.

And a popular post that annoyed some LinkedIn users who have been hiding a little secret:
I refuse to pay others to mindlessly click on my posts so we can help each other get more views, likes and followers. You shouldn't have to either!
OK, till next week's haphazardly assembled newsletter... Peace.
Ian.
