Sanity Check!

I started blogging four months ago today.

My goal was to start a conversation about change and how it impacts people and organizations. By sharing observations and asking questions, I’m hoping that we can develop strategies for anticipating change, viewing it positively, adapting, and even changing the rules of the game as often as we can!  

To some degree our focus is on information management: What will happen in the world of content creation, marketing, distribution/delivery, and the business models of media and publishing, as technology advances and consumer demands change?

But… you can’t talk about change without talking about traditions, current events, philosophy, and human nature (perspective, diversity, A Whole New Mind, rules, character, etc.). 

So, why did I start blogging?

Goal #1: To participate in publishing and media on a personal and professional level.  

Goal #2: To satisfy my curiosity about blogging, start writing on a daily basis, and learn new things.

Goal #3: To “meet” people with similar interests (and, hopefully, diverse opinions about those interests). 

Goal #4: To provide prospective clients and colleagues with a no-risk way to get to know me. You can stop by and I may never even know you were here!

I’m happy to report that there have been more comments than postings on this blog, but there are never enough comments! So, if something strikes you (positively or negatively), please comment. We all want to hear from you. 

I’ve also met some great people (one in person) and learned so much (but not nearly enough).

Thanks Darren (ProBlogger), for starting this group writing project.  It’s always good to revisit your goals.

Ann, great new layout you've got here at your blog. I'd say you're doing well at achieving these four goals you've set for yourself and I think you grasp very well the benefits of blogging.
