How to write a LinkedIn bio that’s human and free of corporate jargon
Every time I read a LinkedIn bio littered with job description jargon it makes me wonder: what would a historical figure's bio look like?
We've normalized all the jargon so much, but what if you treated someone famous the same way?
So I asked ChatGPT to create a LinkedIn bio for the most famous of them all and then put my own spin on it:
Mission-driven leader with a track record of transforming lives and cultures at scale. Known for turning scarcity into abundance (fed 5,000+ with five loaves and two fish), crisis-to-celebration pivots (water → wine at Cana), and delivering high-impact messages that resonate across demographics (Sermon on the Mount; Beatitudes).
Core strengths:
Purpose-led leadership: Vision casting, servant leadership, values alignment
Operations in diverse environments: Desert, hillside, shoreline, urban temples
Product innovation: Parables as accessible learning frameworks
Customer success: Healing, coaching, and conflict resolution
Team building: Recruited, mentored, and mobilized 12-person core team; scaled to thousands
Highlights:
Calmed severe storm conditions; improved team morale and safety metrics
Restored health outcomes across complex cases (blindness, paralysis, chronic conditions)
Ethical disruption: Challenged legacy systems; prioritized dignity, mercy, and justice
Open to:
Speaking, mentorship, and advisory on purpose, leadership, and social impact
Collaborations focused on compassion at scale, inclusive communities, and sustainable hope
Contact: Available on the road, by the sea, or on the mountain.

Why is corporate jargon a problem on LinkedIn profiles?
Because it makes you blend in instead of stand out. Jargon hides your personality and unique value, while a genuine bio showcases who you really are.
How can I make my LinkedIn bio more authentic?
Focus on your actual achievements, strengths, and personality traits. Write like a human, not a job description. Share specific stories and results that highlight you.
