Approachable Authority: the new way to stand out on LinkedIn

Oct 22, 2025 10:51 am

Hey ,


After 3+ years ghostwriting LinkedIn content for founders, one thing is clear:


The personal brands that drive trust don’t scream “look at me.”


They balance credibility with connection.

They lead with clarity, warmth, and a tone that feels human.


It’s what I call approachable authority.

Real expertise.

Clear opinions.

Conversational tone.


In my latest podcast episode, I unpack:


  • What “approachable authority” means (and why it builds trust)
  • How to share bold takes without sounding like a LinkedIn bro
  • The confidence-relatability sweet spot that converts
  • 4 simple questions to audit your profile + content this week
