📨 The Dispatch

Today's prompt will help you with "Voice and Style Analysis". It's designed to help you evaluate your tone, adapt to various platforms, maintain consistency, and make ongoing adjustments.

I've come up with three archetypes I think fit into who might benefit from this prompt: "Career", "Solopreneur" and "Creator". You might even have cross over with all three.

Here's how someone in the Career archetype might use today's prompt.

Meet Frida, an up-and-coming UX designer committed to enhancing her expertise and connecting with the industry. Frida's been taking several courses and wants to share her newfound skills on LinkedIn more frequently.

But Frida's ambition goes beyond just sharing information; she wants her content to resonate with her personality, her professional aspirations, and her passion for user-centered design. She wants her voice to be not only heard but felt, connecting with others on a more profound level.

As Frida crafts her LinkedIn posts, she'll want to be mindful of her voice and tone, striking to strike a balance between professionalism and personal enthusiasm.

Her content should consistently reflect her growing confidence and expertise, as well as her genuine excitement about her field.

Clear language, avoiding jargon and including personal reflections, make her posts relatable not just to fellow designers but to a broader professional audience.

The consistency of Frida's voice and tone is vital. It's more than just words; it's a manifestation of her journey, her growth, and her identity as a UX designer.

By aligning her voice with her professional but passionate, informative, and reflective personality, she can build trust and engagement with her audience.

Her adaptation strategy ensures that her content feels right at home on LinkedIn, while remaining flexible enough to be adapted for other platforms.

She'll continually evaluate responses, adjust her approach, and strive to connect authentically with her community as a bridge to meaningful relationships and a fulfilling UX design career.

Here's a prompt for Frida (aka you) to translate this knowledge of how she wants her content to come across and be used to a system that can ensure she's always right on the money.
