Blog World?

Our local newspaper, The Orlando Sentinel, has a whole section dedicated to blogs.

Sea World, a world famous Theme Park down the street from The Walt Disney World Resort, has a twitter account claiming to come from The Real Shamu.  Amazing how technology can, and is, being used to help businesses adapt to their customer’s ever changing, and ever growing, use of social marketing media.

In the land of Mickey Mouse, in fact the entire planet, it’s a wide open cyber-frontier.  Saddle up and carpe diem, jungle jeff  🙂

Am I boring?

Am I boring?

Scary thought.  Sometimes I’m convinced I am. Know how I can tell?

Soon after I became a professional speaker a decade ago, a wise person told me, “Jeff, if you look out at your audience, and they looked bored, you’re boring them”. I’ve never forgotten that wisdom.

At risk every single day – failing them and boring them.  The two mortal sins public speakers commit most often.

Want the good news?

I don’t do it nearly as frequently as I used to.  Plus, I’ve also learned to recognize and react more effectively.

So, may I please ask you a question?  Are you boring?

Want to test yourself?

Read your LinkedIn profile and ask yourself, “Is this something that captures attention and motivates the reader to read.  Or, is it like so many others that people don’t even bother”?

At the core of this is your intent for using LinkedIn, in my opinion.

It’s tough out there.  If you don’t figure it out, who will?  Carpe diem, jungle jeff
