February 4, 2010Social media savvy and New Dymamics

Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

My social media coach and Technology Cheerleader, Phyllis, is a sincere and savvy social networker. She helped me get my foundations, and had no problem when I put our process on hold to focus on other things. In the meantime, she sends me links to articles that tie into what I’m focused on and posts on my blog from time to time. Her helpfulness off the clock keeps her in mind for what I’m ready to go back on the clock.

Sharon is similar. She does a little research and writing for me, particularly in the area of disability, since that’s her focus. And she regularly sends me links to leads and articles she thinks I can use. I remembered her when I decided I could use some help in my disabilities in the revision of my Perfect Phrases for Managers and Supervisors book.

Both like what I do, so it isn’t some kind of contrived formulaic strategy. It’s a sincere engagement that enhances continued engagement, and makes me want to do things like post about how great they are.

I could write about my new assistant too, but I better not get started on that. I’ll just say that the New Dynamics of Communication are relational, and people who engage naturally have a distinct advantage. And more fun, of course. I’m having lots of fun these days with my amazing formal and informal teams.
