the elevator pitch on speed

September 10, 2007

0

If you’re a jobseeker or entrepreneur, you’ve heard of the elevator pitch, that sixty second script about yourself and your work that you’re supposed to have burned into your subconscious, ready to whip out at any time in case you share an elevator with Bill Gates on some distant, blessed day. I think Gates has […]

blogging for branding

September 7, 2007

This is a solid, if pitchy, podcast from The Blog Squad about using your blog to help grow your brand as a professional. They put the hard sell on a couple of times, but it’s nonetheless worth listening to if you’re using your blog to raise your professional profile because it’s pretty solid on both […]

commenter’s remorse

September 5, 2007

4

Most people’s first introduction to writing for blogs is commenting on other people’s blogs; it’s a gateway drug for sure! Some, in fact, develop more of a reputation as commenters than they do as bloggers, and if your wit and wisdom is expressed best in two-to-three sentence bursts, that’s probably right and good. But if […]

video meditation: handling suppression and judgement

August 27, 2007

2

I like this series of videos; alas, their blog seems not to be updating much lately, in addition to being in a template too narrow to display YouTubes properly. As usual, I’ve put the video over the jump so it doesn’t slow the blog down for people on dialup. This is a good basic meditation, […]

Remember, inspiration and insight cannot strike […]
