Security and eDiscovery – Can They Coexist?
This exchange that was written up on the Exterro blog reminded me of a training session I once had: So, back to the conversation between Legal and IT. Recently, I participated in a call with a prospective client who seem extremely interested in the possibility of having ECA, Collection, Review and Production capabilities at their…
Linked – How to Deal with Participants Who Deliberately Disrupt or Sabotage Training
Anyone who’s ever done any technology training has seen this: “What are some of the common disruptive behaviors we see? Side conversations, excessive cell phone use, and participants who tend to dominate discussions are just a few. There are also latecomers and resistant learners. It’s not always easy to determine the cause of these behaviors,…
If You Have to Constantly Remind People You’re a Leader, You’re Probably Not
My hypothesis, and the reason for my list above, is that leaders don’t talk about being leaders any more than brilliant people talk about being smart or kind people talk about being kind. They just do it, and it shows. Leaders set the example, help others succeed, and solve problems. They share credit and take the blame. They are constantly learning from others instead of setting themselves apart. People follow them because of those characteristics. These are people you want to follow. They don’t have to raise a flag and beg people to follow them any more than the most intelligent people have to remind you of how smart they are. Their actions show it.

Check it out at the link below, but if I was going to give my own take on that idea, is that for my own social media I usually try and consider what I have to offer the people who choose to follow me. I have this blog, obviously. I can share some other, useful, information, and even a laugh or two mixed in.
For me, most of what I do online goes back to my background in training. I learn something, and I want to share that with others. So I do.
And I try not to be “cringey”. 😉
