Product Leaders and Aspiring Execs: Stop Overlooking These 10 Simple but Effective LinkedIn Storytelling Tips

Story telling is a powerful tool for Product Managers on Linkedin

Like it or not, what you say matters as much as what you’ve done.

90% of employers use social media and professional networks to recruit - CareerArc

In product management, great work doesn’t always speak for itself. But great stories do.

10 magnetic storytelling tips to help PMs achieve undeniable influence:

1. Lead with Emotion
Start your post with a feeling—fear, frustration, pride, curiosity. It instantly humanizes your message.

2. Get Obsessively Specific
Generic = forgettable. Specific = relatable. Name the moment, quote the feedback, describe the scene.

3. Stop Hiding the Mess
Perfection is boring. People connect with what went sideways—what you fixed, what you learned.

4. Paint the Product Vision Like a Movie Scene
Don’t just state the outcome. Show the transformation like you’re storyboarding a movie.

5. Turn Pain Into a Power Play
If you’ve been rejected, doubted, or humbled, use it. Your scars show strength.

6. Build Stories With Cinematic Structure
Every great post has a beginning, middle, and end. Setup the tension—then resolve it.

7. Write Like You Speak—Seriously
Ditch the buzzwords. Write like a real person with a voice, not a press release.

8. Use the Power of Before & After
Before: chaos. After: clarity. Transformation makes your value obvious.

9. Make Doubt Your Most Magnetic Trait
Sharing hesitation shows self-awareness—and invites trust. “I wasn’t sure it would work…” draws readers in.

10. Share Lessons Like a Mentor, Not a Brand
Don’t pitch. Teach. The more generous you are, the more credibility you earn.
