Summer Reading
Kim Kaupe
I have some tips and references for you below on how to share your summer reading with your LinkedIn network.
INSTRUCTIONS
GOAL: Share our learnings with others in our network.
QUESTIONS TO ASK:
- Do we want to share ONE big takeaway from the book?
- Do we want to share our top 3 takeaways?
- Do we want to frame it as a vitamin (positive) “Top 3 Things I Learned from…”
- Do we want to frame it as a painkiller (negative) “Biggest Mistake to Avoid…”
Think about framing before you move on to the next section.
TEXT ONLY
Remember: 5 lines to share. Don’t forget about spacing, clean breaks and the coveted “see more” button. We want people to keep reading all your awesome insights!
Below is an easy template option to go with. Here is a 60 second instruction video where I’ve already done some of the “formatting” for you but will need you to put the final touches on it…
Text only post template:
I read The Long Game by Dorie Clark so you don’t have to.
Here are the Top 3 Points & how to implement them.
- 3 Month Goals > 6 Month Goals
Information here about why whatever statement you just said is true. Remember this should be 2-3 sentences MAX. People’s eyes don’t want to read much. Like you don’t want to read past this. (see where “this” landed!) - Put Your Goal Somewhere You Can See It
I love Post It Notes for Visualizing Goals but you can choose anything. A notebook and the rest of your sentence will go here. Remember 2 lines max! - Quit On Yourself
Not every goal is going to be a win. There are sunk costs where it’s better to abandon something then pushing through with it. One more point here.
- 3 Month Goals > 6 Month Goals
Thanks @DorieClark for the awesome read, now I need a new one!
What book are you loving lately? What should I read next?!

IMAGES
Remember: 3 lines to share. Don’t forget about spacing, clean breaks and a scroll-stopping image. Is a book lying on a table interesting? Maybe. But what’s more interesting is something with YOUR face in it or an interesting background like this….
Below is an easy template option to go with. Here is a 60 second instruction video where I’ve already done some of the “formatting” for you but will need you to put the final touches on it. I also mentioned a few tips and tricks in the video so please do check it out! It’s short, I promise!!!
This book by @RayDalio stopped me in my tracks.
Here are 2 Scary Facts I Learned:
- History Repeats Itself (Read: The Good Times End)
All great civilizations fall. Usually within a 200-300 year span. The United States is 246 years old. The graphs in this book detailing past civilizations & their downfalls was wild. - The Rich Have Been Forecasting All Along
Fact here about the book and why you think this point. Remember 2-3 sentences max because people hate reading!
- History Repeats Itself (Read: The Good Times End)
If you like history, are eager to learn how to put yourself in a better financial position and are apprehensive about the future this is a must read!
Have you read any of @RayDalio’s books? What did you think?
