Rethinking the Weekend Reader
As I alluded to last week, I’ve been working through yet another evaluation of the content here on DCO. Much of what I’ve been mulling over is simply a refinement of the current mission: I want to focus in more on the entrepreneurial side of things, I want to bring more of a personal nature [...]
Full Disclosure
Unless my world goes horribly wrong in the next few days, I will be posting the long-awaited “One Page Strategic Plan” next week. There has been much interest expressed in this and I’m pleased that I was able to get permission to post it publicly. One of the conditions for posting I was given was [...]
Don’t freak out…
This space, where you would normally see a DCO Weekend Reader, has intentionally been left blank. I have some interesting posts planned for next week, and am once again mulling over the focus and content of this blog. In the meantime – have yourself a great weekend. For those of you in the same region [...]
The Quarter in Review – 2008/Q4
Many of the blogs I read have quarterly, or even monthly recaps. Some of these blogs are personal some are professional, and the information in their recap generally reflects their orientation. Personal blogs tend to focus on their best content, what keywords seem most relevant in their space, comments or discussions of interest, etc. The professional blogs [...]
Thank You Simon
Much like reading the local paper over your morning coffee, one of my first activities at work is to fire up my RSS reader and scan through my topics to see if anything of interest pops out. This morning I rather unexpectedly saw my name in a post title. Huh??!!?? Simon Stapleton is a IT [...]
Web 2.0 meets Web 1.0
I moderated a fantastic panel last night for the local SIM Chapter I’m a member of. As a Board member in charge of Programming, I’m always very nervous come meeting night. After four years of scheduling presenters, the one lesson I’ve learned is no amount of planning is sufficient to even guess how the program [...]
Content comment for 11/14/08 Weekend Reader
The very first bullet in the Weekend Reader under Personal Excellence & Leadership mentioned a psychological examination of trust. If you were interested in the findings, but didn’t see any links, then you were probably reading either within an RSS reader or via E-mail. I used an embedded audio widget so you could play the [...]
The point of that last post
Most of my posts get written at night and then are scheduled to go live the following morning. So it went with my last post on using social networks to build relationships in response to the economic downturn. I had just finished the post and was getting ready to call it a night. I’m not [...]
Dots: Connected – Thanks Chris
I’ve always felt I’m a good “connect the dots” kind of person, whether those dots are people, concepts, initiatives, strategies, etc. In a sense a big part of my job now is helping entrepreneurs connect dots: their business concept to markets, their markets to market pain, market pain to opportunity and opportunity to investment. I’ve written [...]
“Recession-Proof” your Career
The good folks over at The Personal Branding Blog have been writing a series of tips on recession proofing your career through your personal brand. While they are titled from the point of view of personal branding, I’ve found most of the tips to have broad applicability and just make sense. The tips, currently at 10, [...]
