June 19, 2009The SpeakStrong Zen of Twitter

Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

A very wise and inspired friend spoke of the joy he finds moment to moment in how the play of life unfolds. “And it keeps on moving.” He said.

You can never assume you’ve got it. You must be open to what comes next. If you have an inspired moment and hold on to it, you will lose the magic.

Can you guess where this is going? Twitter moves so fast that you always have to be awake and aware in the moment. You have to respond to the community as it exist now, not five minutes ago.

Speaking Strong is like that. I wrote my book PowerPhrases fully aware that the danger in providing phrases is that people will use it in a static way, rather than reference the uniqueness of each moment and respond genuinely.

And I recently wrote the book SpeakStrong (visit my store) to help people connect with the experience right in front of them and respond. It’s kind of a Zen of Business and Personal Communication book.

It’s a great lesson in being in the moment. But so is twitter.
