In today’s world, how you present yourself on LinkedIn can make all the difference. Using polished language for effective communication and building trust is key. Now, a viral video has taken the internet by storm, showing a LinkedIn coach giving a creative spin to the phrase “I got drunk”-reframing it as a “strategic investment” and “liquid inspiration.”
In the video, a baby girl’s voice can be heard asking the coach to translate “I got drunk” into LinkedIn’s professional jargon-LinkedInese. Responding to this, Juliana said, “This evening, I indulged in a late-night session of liquid inspiration. It was a strategic investment into unlocking my creative expression and flow. Sometimes, you just need to throw caution to the wind and let magic happen. How about you? How do you unleash that inner genius?”
After the video surfaced on Instagram, the LinkedIn coach received praise for her wordplay. So far, the clip has racked up 3.2 million views.
One user wrote, “That was brilliant and funny.”
Another commented, “Nah, this is amazing.”
“You are such a creative genius, amazing,” read one comment.
However, one user joked, “That’s why I don’t trust LinkedIn profiles.”
Another quipped, “Drinking now doesn’t sound that bad either.”
“I want someone to actually post this on LinkedIn. Let me know if you spot one,” read another comment.
Praising the coach, a social media user wrote, “It takes real skill to find the perfect words and put them together like that. I admire you!”
However, when one person asked, “Um, why would a kid ask their mum how to say ‘I’m drunk’ in a business way?” Juliana clarified, “She was just helping me with my skit!”
A user quipped, “Did your daughter ask for some liquid inspiration after?” Juliana responded, “She’s not even old enough to drink coffee yet. Maybe in 10 years!”
Podcaster Bob Low joked, “Engaging in liquid inspiration sessions has been shown to stimulate endorphin release, enhance neural connectivity, and foster a work environment conducive to out-of-the-box solutions!”
Echoing the sentiment, another added, “Bob Low, not to forget, if done right, it’s a great strategy for team building and stress relief. Maybe HR should think outside the box for once.”
