10th Year Blogiversary – The Unfinished Journey of Blogging and Why It Matters

Remember the good old days when people were writing about the death of blogging thanks to social media tools? When they wrote, rather prolifically, about how Google Plus, Tumblr, LinkedIn’s Pulse, Facebook’s Notes, Medium and a whole bunch of other platforms were just going to kill our own ability to have a personal Web Journal of … Continue reading 10th Year Blogiversary – The Unfinished Journey of Blogging and Why It Matters

Collaborators, Cooperators and People I Learn From

When I first got things started with #elsuahackstwitter, the experiment where I decided to unfollow everyone on Twitter and instead move on to using, exclusively, Public Lists, I knew, right from the start, that I’d have a bit of a challenge in terms of not necessarily grouping people together, but what names would I pick … Continue reading Collaborators, Cooperators and People I Learn From

2014, The Year That Was

And nearly four months later… I am back to blogging. Again. And for how long this time around? I just don’t know. We will have to wait and see, but, I tell you, if I were to describe what 2014 has been like so far for yours truly, as we are coming close to its … Continue reading 2014, The Year That Was

The Call to Adventure – On Doing What You Love

Over the course of the last six months it’s been quite an interesting experience, to say the least, being asked, on a rather frequent basis, why did I leave big corporate life at IBM, specially, with the last round of dream jobs, to instead build my own business into the unknown with that inherent flair … Continue reading The Call to Adventure – On Doing What You Love

Pardon the Interruption … From Adaptation into Engagement by Luis Suarez #soccnx

A couple of months back you would remember how I put together a blog post over here on an upcoming business trip I was about to embark on heading to Prague, by mid-June, to speak a couple of times at the Social Connections VI event (#soccnx). A few of you have asked me over the … Continue reading Pardon the Interruption … From Adaptation into Engagement by Luis Suarez #soccnx

Active Listening – When Shutting Up Matters

There is a lot that the business world can learn from NGOs in general. And vice versa, I am sure. We all know that. But if there is anything that I have learned just recently that certainly has stroked a chord with me in terms of what would be rather critical and paramount for enterprises … Continue reading Active Listening – When Shutting Up Matters

#LeadWithRespect Meme: a Challenge for 21st Century Management

I can’t remember the last time that I participated on a blog carnival or meme blog series for that matter. I guess it’s been far too long, so when my good friend Cecil Dijoux launched a meme invitation to a group of us around #LeadWithRespect : a Challenge for 21st Century Management, based on a recent blog … Continue reading #LeadWithRespect Meme: a Challenge for 21st Century Management

The Magic of That First Client Engagement

A little while ago I mentioned over here how I would be starting to work out loud more often, through making extensive use of Google Plus, to share additional thoughts and insights on what it is like being an independent trusted advisor on Social Business & Digital Transformation, specially, with the induced massive learning curve, … Continue reading The Magic of That First Client Engagement

The Soothing Effect of Blogging

It’s hard to believe, even for myself, how the last time I wrote a blog post over here was a bit over two months ago. However, it doesn’t even feel totally awkward, as it used to be in the past, whenever I embarked on a longish blogging hiatus of sorts. Not even embarrassing anymore. I know, … Continue reading The Soothing Effect of Blogging

Challenges of Social Business in the Workplace

A couple of weeks ago the smart and talented folks from Bloomfire approached me through Twitter to ask me whether I would be willing to participate on an interview around Social Business and be featured on the series of bloggers and influencers they have got going on for a little while now. Of course, I couldn’t … Continue reading Challenges of Social Business in the Workplace
