Editor's Notes
- #4: Mowing the lawnGoing on a date?In Seattle? In NYC?
- #5: Not just job search.WORK has changed.CollaborationCommunicationCross-cultural understandingNo one will ever train you to use technology ever again!Not just the pace its how things get done
- #6: You cant have the whiff of resistance if you want to compete in todays job market.Companies dont know whats next, they need someone who can roll with the punches -competition used to happen in the executive office -now a random tweeter can become the face of the company and effect a turnaroundYou have 3 choices:Wait for something that resembles what you had (and risk losing time, money or never finding it)Go off on your ownGet in the game. Get energized by the digital age!
- #11: Were going to dive deeply in LinkedInAnd glance at twitter but before moving forward, lets talk about the elephant in the roomWho feel anxious and uncomfortable? Deal with Ambiguity
- #19: Make them come back for more!
