Until recently, I was a Twitterphobe. Some of you know that I am committed to being efficient–to spending my time wisely and fully–both personally and professionally. To me, Twitter seemed like a galactic waste of time. My frame (point of view) about Twitter was that it was a tool for stalking celebrities. While I enjoy an occasional People Magazine (and its trashier cousins), logging on daily to see what Ashton and Demi were up to struck me as a really inane way to spend my time.
My frame has changed: I am converted.
I now see Twitter as a tool to help me be more useful, and more efficient.
For those who disagree, let me explain. My goal is to improve the world, one corporate leader at a time. To help me help others, I try to do the following:
1. read, observe, and listen to experts
2. aggregate the inputs
3. create models, metaphors, and media (workshops, ebooks) that will inspire and improve the lives of others
One day I realized that people I respect and count on for inspiration are on Twitter. And they are not Tweeting what they ate for lunch (most times). They are sharing links to valuable information that informs and inspires them, that might or might not make it into their next book, and that I can use today.
I’m following three authors/coaches, two organizations, one journalist, and one celebrity.
If you have recommendations for great people to follow, please send them my way.
You can stalk/follow me at denisergreen. I commit to sharing information that is valuable, or at least entertaining.
