Since this is an announcement, I am cross-posting this blog for wider audience reach.
I will be conducting a series of learning sessions about “Spiritual Intelligence” for free to different companies on the week of Holy Week, Monday to Wednesday [March 29-31, 2010]. This will only take for about an hour and max of 2 hours, 6 slots is availabe for three days.
This is my way of giving back to the community. Brands, in my opinion, whether personal or corporate, should touch and add value to it’s community whenever possible.
Please forward this invitation to interested companies so we can check schedule, or you may ask them to leave a message in this PAGE. Thank you
On my last post, for the benefit of new subscribers, we made a step backward by reviewing web 2.0. On this issue, allow me to discuss online reputation and responsible use of digital media.
In one fora, someone asked, “sir, what is an online reputation?”. I replied, “try typing your name in search engines [google, yahoo, bing] then analyze the results.
What is on the first page?
[assuming you own a blog or maintain different SNS accounts like Facebook & Twitter] Do you see your online accounts/profile?
Are others talking about you?
Can they find your career milestone?
You may repeat the exercise, this time do it inside a Social Networking Site where you maintain an account. i.e., Facebook, Multiply, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plurk.
We are in the age of digital media where distance and time is no longer an issue when accessing information. When your potential client or employer, or even old classmates or friends, or long lost relative tried to locate you using web 2.0 applications, they will do what you just did and chances are, they may get similar results. Unless you don’t like what your current online reputation is [or lack of it] and would want to take action.
Before we proceed, however, since there are notably new subscribers who are not familiar with the potential of web 2.0, I find it proper to just bring us all together in the same understanding. Thus, we will revisit web 2.0 and rebuild our foundation.
I will re-post 2 videos I shared in my other blog (HR 2.0) here. The 1st one is about understanding web 2.0 in layman’s term and the 2nd one, the technical definition. Here is the first video
One of the tips I am hearing from so called “personal branding gurus” to enhance your brand is to assert your expertise on people.
Promoting yourself, so to speak. While this is not necessarily bad, one must take extra precaution because too much of these can back fire and may actually do more harm than good.
Self promotion includes promoting your work accomplishments, articles and blog entries to social networking sites and list servs like yahoo groups. But these acts is venturing into unsolicited mail, or commonly known as “spamming”.
The blogger is a Human Resource Management Executive and Micro Entrepreneur.
He does lecture and consulting work for the integration of (1) "Spiritual Intelligence" in Organizational and Human Resource Management and Development, and (2) "Web 2.0" as platform and tool for Corporate communication, Productivity, Training/ People Development, Marketing and Brand Management.
