Moving on

Not all ideas will work immediately, the 5 day challenge, was one of those. If something does not immediately resonate, then drop it. This is a particularly busy time for networkers and an added activity is certainly not sought after.

I'm keen now to explore if any of the 'unexpected outcomes' from posing a challenge like this actually took place. You know the very notion that there could be room for improvement in a share web space is often enough for the owner to take a critical look and to make improvements.

So during October I need to call in to as many of the networks as possible to see what has changed. Offering some individual points of improvement may work better in this busy time period.

Dear Diary, its been one month since my posting and I'm overstretched with my online coaching so must plan to post less frequently. For those who may be following this blog, you'll find that I scatter my thoughts in various places and you can find some of these by visiting my online space at Coach Carole's Space at:

5 day challenge

The 5 day challenge was posted to the Networkers Nexus on 5th September. It has been advertised as beginning on September 19 when the Networks facilitators have their next online meeting. The posting contained an attachment which spells out the tasks for each of the 5 days to creating a better network.

So far I've added two replies to the posting:
1. to notify of the 5 day challenge blog in the Nexus and
2. to provide some tips on creating a dynamic community.

I will need to have some others strategies ready to add further engagement in the Nexus during September. Some of the ideas I have on that are:

a. adding new imagery
b. adding voice files

Now let's see if I can rise to the challenge of building a better network too.

Coaching in Centra

Some screen shots from a Coaching and Mentoring session in Centra are captured here at this address. Somewhere in here I should be able to embed these slides using this code.

What do I use a Blog for?

It is becoming increasingly useful to point people to my blogs to find out the following things in context:

1. my coaching and mentoring philosophy
2. my project reflections
3. my family updates
4. my digital storytelling journey

Of course, as a gemini, I keep quite a few blogs so that I can keep my postings well categorised and meaningful to readers. The blogs are great little repositories for reflections on many topics and it is always interesting to go back to read them on occasions. For example I noticed that I had not made an entry in this one since late last year. So for me, one of the downsides to keeping many blogs is remembering to use them frequently.

Today we'll be talking about the use of blogs at the 24/7 virtual room linked from the AFLF Community. Join us there if you like for a discussion on blogs and some practical 'how to's' for setting up a blog.
