AND IN
POLL POSITION

LinkedIn and My Life in Polls

Seven years of daily questions, curiosity and the conversations hiding behind the votes.

Kindle preorder available now. Printed copies coming shortly.

A poll is never just a poll. It is a question sitting on top of more questions.

This is not a book about beating the algorithm.

It is about what happens when you keep asking people questions — every day — and remain curious enough to listen when their answers do not agree with yours.

Curiosity

How asking better questions helps us notice more possibilities and become more comfortable with being wrong.

Communication

Why comments, votes and visibility are not automatically the same thing as genuine dialogue.

Consistency

What seven years of daily polls teaches you about creative practice, people and stubbornness.

What is inside?

Stories, observations and practical lessons from one of LinkedIn's longest-running daily creative practices.

  • Why fun and emotional questions often create broader conversations than cautious business posts.
  • What polls reveal about visibility, performance and real dialogue.
  • How curiosity can improve communication online and away from the screen.
  • Original LinkedIn poll ideas, each with a note explaining what it can help uncover.
  • The mistakes, experiments and unexpected answers that changed Graham's thinking.

One question can change the room.

The book includes original poll prompts designed to begin conversations rather than perform at people.

What has curiosity changed most in you?

I notice more possibilities
I understand people differently
I am happier being wrong
Ask me in the comments

“Performance says: gather underneath what I already think. Dialogue says: something you say might alter it.
