We are just sharing already

Recently, I posted a link to this article: Planning to Share Versus Just Sharing. The post struck a chord with me, because I have been involved in so many initiatives in my organization to plan how to share. We are a nonprofit with a large contingent of academic staff; we believe in sharing, theoretically. We … Continue reading We are just sharing already

Can social networking hurt your job prospects? Or help them?

Over the weekend, I saw yet another non-story on the morning talk shows about how careful you should be about what you post online because it may come back to bite you. The story was filled with warnings about how everything you put on the Internet is permanent, and all potential employers are spending their … Continue reading Can social networking hurt your job prospects? Or help them?

Image by Daniel F. Pigatto via Flickr I have a colleague who's interested in bringing some of our organization's knowledge management efforts into the Web 2.0 world, and she wanted to know how to get started. My advice was, before getting an organizational blog or setting up a wiki or something like that, that she … Continue reading How to get started in the Web 2.0 world

How to use tagging to make connections in the nonprofit web

Image via Wikipedia Probably one of the best innovations of the whole Web 2.0 phenomenon is tagging. A tag is "a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information" (source). Tags can be used to identify blog posts, bookmarks, photos, videos, presentations, events, etc., and are supported by pretty much every Web 2.0 … Continue reading How to use tagging to make connections in the nonprofit web

Identifying a personal brand

I've been trying to figure out what I want to do next. I think I've been trying to figure this out for years. One tool I am using to help me answer this question is blogging. I have a semi-private blog that I use as a journal, where I can record my ideas, wants and … Continue reading Identifying a personal brand

Take a blended approach to learning

No matter what the subject, there are a thousand people who have a one-size-fits-all solution to sell you. As a new parent, I've been reading a lot of parenting books lately, and the sheer amount of contradictory advice can be overwhelming. But this is true is pretty much every arena where I have an interest: … Continue reading Take a blended approach to learning

With blogs and online communities sweeping the web, every organization wants to jump on the social media bandwagon. While I think social media tools can provide easy ways for organizations to get their message out and connect with people, they shouldn’t be too quick to dive in–not before they know what they’re getting into. Here … Continue reading The social media bandwagon…

Twittering away

I have been playing with Twitter lately. You're welcome to follow me, although I can't promise that it will be scintillating. I have had some fun with it, but I am still thinking about how it might be useful, especially for work. The most fun I had was on Oscar night, when I joined in … Continue reading Twittering away

6-word memoir meme…

I'll admit that I don't generally like to read memoirs. I don't mind memoirs if they are well written; I'll read anything that's well written. But it seems like anyone who is remotely famous feels obligated to write a memoir, even if they are way too young to have done anything memorable enough to write … Continue reading 6-word memoir meme…

Identify strengths, passions and values

I recently completed a year of coaching that was extremely helpful for establishing balance in my work life and creating a more satisfying role for myself in my organization. The first thing my coach had me do was identify my strengths, passions or motivations, and values, which I have listed on a separate page. The … Continue reading Identify strengths, passions and values
