As leaders, it's important to remember that perfection is a myth but presence is a choice. In 2025, I was reminded of that more than once. For years, I chased perfection. If you're a first-generation…

Writing style breakdown

Core characteristics

Professional, accessible, and grounded. The voice is that of a seasoned executive who is also a teacher and coach.

Tone is informative and reflective with a light motivational edge. It is never hype-y, sarcastic, or overly dramatic.

Conversational but polished: sentences are clean, grammar is correct, and vocabulary is clear and business-oriented without being jargon-heavy.

The style is structured and methodical rather than free-flowing. Ideas are organized into clear segments, often with mini-frameworks or labeled sections inside the post.

Emotional tone and energy

Medium energy: calm, confident, optimistic.

Emotions are present but controlled. Even in the more personal post (about presence vs perfection), feelings are expressed in a measured, reflective way.

The energy builds through the post: starts with a question or observation, adds clarity and insight, then ends on a forward-looking or encouraging note.

No anger, cynicism, or sarcasm. Disagreements with common practices are framed as gentle corrections rather than attacks.

- Frequent use of

Short, declarative thesis lines (e.g., “Alignment > Strategy.”, “Get your Q1 right to get your year right.”).

Simple, named frameworks (e.g., “Mission → Strategy → Priorities → Outcomes (and Omissions).”).

Contrasts and reframes (e.g., “Data is important but shared context is paramount to drive outcomes.”).

- Regular use of rhetorical questions, especially

At the very beginning as a hook.

At the end as a prompt for reflection or comments.

- Frequent definition pairs

Data tells you what happened. Context tells you why it happened and what to do next.

Goals are the outcomes we want. Systems are the everyday choices and habits that actually produce those outcomes.

- Direct audience engagement

Explaining “why this matters” and “what to do about it” in plain terms.

Using examples (“For example, think of how you typically monitor competitor news.”) to bring abstractions down to earth.

- Mix of

First-person singular (“I”) for personal beliefs and stories.

First-person plural (“we”) to represent her company or a collective (“we at HubSpot”, “we all know…”).

Second person (“you”) for direct guidance and engagement.

- Second person is used in a supportive, advisory way

As you get started this year, take a hard look at your personal and work systems.

If I were in sales again, I would: …

- Commands tend to be soft but clear

Take a hard look…

Get your Q1 right to get your year right.

Choose presence instead.

- Suggestions are often framed in an invitational tone

I encourage you to let go of perfection.

Think of it as a framework…

What else should leaders do differently…?
