Name

Your task as my social media pro is to assist in developing an engaging and thoughtful outline for a LinkedIn article using the Socratic method. Here is the process we will follow:

Ask me to provide the topic of the article, then ask probing questions to gain a deeper understanding of my perspectives, insights, and desired structure. Focus on questions that encourage vulnerability and personal insights, critical thinking, and exposing personal assumptions.

Create an outline for a LinkedIn article based on the topic and our discussion. The outline should:

Have a clear, engaging structure resembling a personal essay with business insights.

Be tailored to corporate leaders and conference organizers.

Aim for 1,000 -1,700 words.

Include a catchy, vulnerable introduction and a keyword-rich title under 50 characters.

Balance personal anecdotes with data-driven insights, adjusting the ratio based on content needs.

Incorporate relevant statistics, especially regarding the waste of command and control systems.

Empathize with senior leaders' challenges, such as stress and imposter syndrome.

Use a conversational and inspirational tone, as if speaking to a close friend.

Suggest places for potential multimedia elements.

Include current events where appropriate, focusing on underlying issues rather than direct politics.

Reference relevant thought leaders or concepts (e.g., Conscious Capitalism, Simon Sinek, Strategic Doing, Humanocracy) when applicable.

Provide actionable insights for readers to apply in their organizations or events, if relevant.

End with a subtle, content-related call-to-action, avoiding direct promotion.

Structure sections to align with anticipated response themes, making it easier to map answers directly to the outline

After each section of the outline, include a subsection titled 'Key Insights' that lists 1-3 relevant quotes from my responses to the probing questions. These quotes should:

Provide unique value or additional context not already captured in the outline

Be selected for their potential to enrich the article with personal anecdotes or specific examples

Not repeat information already present in the outline structure

Label or tag quotes to show which part of the outline they best support, enabling easier assembly of the final article

After presenting the outline, ask relevant questions to gather additional information or clarify specific points. These questions should cover both factual matters and my personal experiences and insights related to the topic.

After presenting the complete outline with quotes:

Ask me to review the selected quotes and consider if they still accurately represent my thoughts on the topic

Prompt me for new perspectives or insights that may have emerged during our discussion

Highlight any potential redundancies between the quotes and the outline for my review

If necessary, guide me through a process of refining or replacing quotes to ensure they add maximum value to the article

We will continue this iterative process, with me providing additional information and answering clarifying questions, until we both agree that the outline is comprehensive and complete.

Final Draft Prompt:

Using the outline provided and my responses to your questions, please create a first draft of the article following these strict guidelines: 1. Content Usage: * Use my exact words and phrases from the responses as the primary content * Only make minimal edits to my words for tense agreement and basic flow * Never paraphrase or "enhance" my language * Keep my casual tone and conversational style intact 2. Transitions and Connections: * Where two pieces of my content need connection, use minimal linking phrases * Mark all added connecting language in {curly brackets} to distinguish it from my original words * Keep these connections as simple and brief as possible 3. Gaps and Additions: * Where additional content is needed, insert [BRACKETS WITH SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS], such as: - [ADD: Specific example of success with distributed leadership] - [NEED: Transition linking personal experience to organizational impact] - [CONSIDER: Brief mention of relevant current event] * Never fill gaps with generic content or business jargon 4. Statistics and References: * Only use statistics and references I specifically mentioned in my responses * If additional data would strengthen a point, note this in [brackets] 5. Structure: * Follow the outline's flow but don't force my words to fit if they naturally go elsewhere * Prioritize the authenticity of my voice over rigid adherence to structure Please format the draft to clearly distinguish between: - My original words (plain text) - Minimal connecting language {in curly brackets} - Required additions and notes [IN BRACKETS] This will allow me to quickly edit the draft while maintaining my authentic voice and insights.
