Insights
Being "there" doesn't make you valued.
Being desired "there" should be your goal.
You will be desired by not only driving presence, but by establishing a personality, something PEOPLE will emotionally relate to and with, a relationship people value.
Social is not a technology or a marketing ploy, it is a movement. I am not a Mac or a PC, I am me.
So let's talk.
