Not-So-Social Media

Today’s Guest Poster

Today we’re fortunate enough to have guest blogger Mark joining us!
 
Mark takes us on a journey into the realms of social media and its increasingly pervasive influence over our work lives and on our careers.

Not-so-social media

Social media faux pas have hit the headlines recently, and the stories act to remind us that as employees we are brand/company ambassadors for those that employ us.  Of equal importance is the notion that once you click to post that comment, photo or video, we lose control of what we are sharing with others, regardless of our privacy settings.  Additionally, we lose the context – and in so many instances, the context can be everything.  Whilst these examples relate to political issues, the people involved are still effectively employees. read more

Today I’ve got a fantastic motivational parable to share.

So many people I speak to absolutely dread a Monday morning, knowing that it’s time for them to return to work.  If you’re one of those people, then this week in particular is for you.

There is nothing that cannot be overcome… every obstacle is an opportunity.

A long long time ago, a King placed a boulder on the roadway.

He hid himself to watch whether anyone would remove the large rock. read more

For the first time ever, this week’s Happy Monday is late!  What is the world coming to?  😉

Unfortunately I’ve been wrapped up in bed for 24 hours with a nasty old bug.  Boo!  But thankfully the worst now seems to be over and I’m back up and writing.  Happy days!

So without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, I give you this week’s Happy Monday:

I don’t know about you, but people paying it forward never fails to tug on my old heart strings.  When the newspapers are choc full of cynical negativity, it’s easy to start believing that we’re all losing our humanity. read more

Good morning Survive at Workers!
 

How’s it going?  I hope you’re all wrapped up warm and driving carefully on these dark, rainy, windswept mornings. The UK Autumn has well and truly landed.

Neil Pasricha is the owner of a site called 1000awesomethings.com, where he lists the simple & small little things in life that we don’t really talk about enough, even though they are true pleasures.  Stuff like the first scoop of peanut butter out of the jar, or using Rock-Paper-Scissors to settle anything!  
 
By the way, Rock Paper Scissors is a much under-utilised decision making tool in my opinion 😉
