Gather the facts first
Before you write a sentence, collect what is already true and public.
- Your existing bio lines: a LinkedIn headline, an Instagram bio, a directory profile.
- Dates and places: when you started, where you trained, where you work.
- Numbers you can stand behind: years in practice, projects finished, people taught.
- Names you may use: clients, employers, publications, with permission where it is needed.
- Your own words: how you describe the work when someone asks.
Put them in the order a visitor reads
Lead with what you do now and for whom. Follow with how you got here: training, past roles, the turning point if there was one. End with how you work with people and what to do next.
Write it plainly
Use short sentences and concrete nouns. Replace each adjective with the fact behind it: instead of “experienced”, say how long; instead of “trusted”, say who trusts you. Pick the first or the third person and keep it all the way through.
Check it against the sources
Read each sentence and ask where it came from. If you cannot point to a source, or to your own memory with confidence, cut it or soften it. Out-of-date facts are easy to miss: an old job title, a closed location, last year’s price.
