ist2_6400517-wolf-in-sheep-s-clothingTwo very different things. We all know that text book knowledge is one thing… actual hands on work experience is another.

My point is this – Social Media and the world that it is needs to be played with, practised, fudged, screwed up, excelled at and train wrecked so you can learn what <not> to do.

Reading about it is great. Living it is necessary. 

Beware all you newbies to SM. Beware of those so called experts who are really newbies dressed up in lamb’s clothing. If your expert is suggesting you play in, utilize, leverage or act in this space ask to see some ID.

This reminds me of something Nana used to say: Don’t do what I do. Do what I say. – It didn’t work then and I can’t imagine it working now.

For a broad stroke visual of what Social Media is, find my post “What the Hell is Going on!”

For a kick ass workshop on SM – email me – I take requests!

When I grow up I want a fabulously large building, beautifully decorated, full of inspiration, brilliant minds that attracts fabulous people with a common vision – to change their world for the better.

Until that happens, I shall be spending more time here – www.socialinnovation.ca

For the record – I think we should all be agents of change. Lovve this concept.

What comes to mind when you hear the word – Networking? I have a very good friend who literally is the Queen of Networking. We were discussing the term earlier today and some interesting assessments were made… what do you think?

By the way, my good friend is Donna Messer – check out her clip here. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=vQmVxLFtFn0
