Elsewhere is Better

Having been inspired by the wonderful and prolific onatrainagain, I wrote a blog post about LinkedIn. I drafted it, played with it and got it into shape. I stuck it in my draft folder to publish today.

This morning I read a great post by Greg Savage called “Don’t be a LinkedIn Tart“. Greg’s post talks about pretty much what had been on my mind. The key difference being his post is much better. It’s got a better title than mine and it hangs together better. It’s just better.

So I’ve deleted my post about LinkedIn. Sometimes there’s just too much happening and floating around out here in blogland. Pop over to Greg’s place and read his instead.

Credo

I believe that everyone goes to work to try and do the best they can

I believe in the power of Proceed until Apprehended

I believe in a thing called love

We received loads of lovely suggestions to our Three Little Words game last week. Perhaps you might like to tell us – what are your credos?

Three Little Words

I’m doing a lot of work in London and though the commute is a bit of a drag, I do enjoy the walk to the train station of a morning. In my head three words buzzed around as I walked. Three words I will need to help me do good work this week.

Simple. Accessible. Authentic.

I tweeted these three words while waiting for my train and I invited others to respond. Here is what the immediacy of Twitter fed back to me:

Natalie Weaving was first out of the blocks with: Motivated. Positive. Committed.

The HRD, back from a week on holiday hit us with simply….: Wine.

Rosemarie McGuire went for: Reality. Impact. Professionalism.

Kevin Ball then suggested three words for Gareth Jones. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Given that I was on the way to meet Gareth for breakfast and he in turn was then off for lunch and other mainly eating related appointments – this was a fitting set of words.

Katie D, aka HRHopeful is hoping for: Focus. Clarity. And good candidates.

Sukh Pabial (Gareth’s lunch date) was in search of: Sleep. Friends. Food. I know he found the second and third – more news on number one when I get it.

Katherine Wiid is seeking: Perseverance. And she appreciated (and is welcome to share) Authentic .

And suddenly, they were gone. Twitter’s in the momentness is great. This morning it allowed me to share three little words and for others to share theirs too. Twitter – I love you.

If you want to share three little words here. Please. Do. So.
