LinkedIn culture demands that you use it as a brag book: what are you doing differently? what awards or recognition has your organization has achieved.
Your online messaging is your key differentiation.
If you fail to use that right, you should expect to eventually be in damage control, wishing you had built a better reputation.
Information is on everyone's fingertips. The power to exploit information majorly huge.
What people share is the currency.
It doesn't matter whether it is based on fact.
If it appeals to others, shared with a tribe of followers who it resonates with, it can and will likely be re-shared, commented upon or liked.
LIKE Is a bigger endorsement now.
KEY to currency.
A person or entity do not have to follow an identity, be represented by a person, company, brand or method.
The ability to attrack clicks is where it's at and will distinguish between real influencers (those that are trusted with a loyal following who trust clicking on the content, it to be sincere, thought-provoking or inspiring).
That is the next decade's currency.
Predicted back in 2010: that content would be king.
NOW,
* authenticity
* transparency
* articulate
* poised
* logical reasoning
* unique perspective
A dance of Algorithms, creating a voice.
A voice can be a brand, company or person.
People want to be inspired.
The rubber-neckers are left behind.
>those who dwell in tragedy, violence, war, hate
People want fairy tales happening from real life.
Inspiring heroes, motivational moms, millennial angst, sustainability, empathy
If you can convey those qualities, you will become what you think.
*Practice the #GoldenRule of treat others as you'd wish to be treated thine self.
Be mindful.
Be respectful.
Appreciate the difference of opinion.
Challenge thought, where logic outweighs emotion, fact-based
Recognize those who are making the world a better place
>regardless of whether they have recognition
>it all starts with a click+a like+comment+reshare to catch fire!
The most logical is the most likeliest of outcome.
Humanity will always prevail over evil.
For at least the next decade.
I aspire to be blocked by @realDonaldTrump
wanting to be the voice of reasoning
based from afar, yet intertwined peacefully, loyally, respectfully for dozens of years.
Regardless of TheDonald's antics, the numbers do speak loudly.
My take: Americans are embarrassed with their President, whom they'd pegged hopes upon a great slogan "Make America Great Again" with dreadful proof.
The political gloves are off, and the boxing match begins.
I began watching CNN's portrayal of the political drama constantly unfolding in America's governing Amendments advocates. THAT turned out to be fairly obvious leaning towards Hilary Clinton, and anything Trump was filled with ridicule or scorn.
I perplexed over Anderson Cooper.
My senses told me he was in a downward spiral.
Abusing drugs or facing addictions.
My bet: alcohol.
Alcohol.
From prohibition to acceptance.
I ask why?
Enter weed.
Legalization.
Acceptance.
Considered the "gateway" drug to all else.
At 58, I resisted during the 1970s period of experimentation. To 2020 where it is legally and a way to take some of the heat off.
