Ever since I started writing this blog, I’ve thought about my role in social media in terms of some of my favorite metaphors, like Translator, Interpreter, and Ambassador.
As time has gone on, I have only become more convinced that this is what I’m really good at, that this is really what I have to offer.
I’m [...]

My organization hosted an event this last weekend, with about 150 people — artists, business leaders, community leaders, etc. — in attendance. In the days leading up to the reception, several people called me to ask me what the dress code for the event was.
Now, things are pretty casual on Cape Cod, as a [...]

I’m off to the Simmons Leadership Conference tomorrow, and I’m excited to meet some of the faculty in the Simmons MBA program, which hosts this annual conference. I’m particularly hoping that new faculty member Jill Avery will be around, since her teaching and research interests sound eerily similar to mine.
But before diving into bed [...]

Blahg Blahg Blahg
I gave a presentation on blogging — should you blog? why and how? — at Geek Girl Camp Cape Cod Thursday night. It was a first-time event, this Geek Girl Camp thing, and so it was hard to know quite what to expect.
I knew that it was sold out. There were [...]

I took a week off from writing, for several very good reasons, and now I’m back.
Miss me?
Of course you didn’t.
One of the reasons I took a brief sabbatical was my reaction to this post by Chris Brogan on what it felt like to not have a blog for eight days.
In it, he talks about how [...]

The very first NewBCamp was held in Providence, Rhode Island yesterday, and I was there, happy to join in the excitement and fun. Founded by a current student at Johnson and Wales, and modelled on the wildly successful “unconference” series known as Podcamp (co-founded by Chris Penn and Chris Brogan), NewBCamp provided an opportunity [...]

The year is almost one week old. I’ve been busy hanging art and making lists, but in the meantime I’ve been thinking about some of the year-end posts I’ve read recently about goals for 2008, resolutions, and the like.
Now that my head is above water again, I went back and reread the ones I had [...]

Do social networks mostly promote inclusion or exclusion?
It depends, of course, on the user. Like The Force, social media can be used for good or ill.
And some will say that it depends on what your objectives are. I’m going to take a stand and say that inclusion - and openness - is [...]

Thanks to all who helped me cement my ideas for my upcoming course for artists. It’s really starting to take shape - but I don’t want to write about the specifics until I have a conversation or two with the specialists I’m trying to recruit to help me pull it all together. I [...]

I’ve been thinking about Jeremiah’s recent Utter, his post on paying yourself first and about how we get where we eventually go.
Jeremiah asks if we are moving too fast in the Social Media Sphere. My answer - for me - is (1) No, and (2) Maybe.
(1)
As Chris Brogan urged us to recently, I took a moment to step back, [...]
