This week I took a webinar on aligning strategy with social media. This week I deleted my comments in a facebook discussion. Both of these events have me considering again what I am communicating in my online presence.
The facebook discussion started out with a comment a friend had made about a discussion we had on our faith the evening before. Several people joined in the conversation creating a stimulating dialogue. And then it turned nasty. Fortunately I was online following the conversation and was able to delete myself from the thread immediately. It wasn’t the forum for the comments being made.
I’ve been thinking about my personal strategy with social media. For me it is all about the conversation on facebook. My presence allows me to engage in casual conversations with friends from all over the world. I love reading updates, seeing pictures, and having a good time reading posts. I love that I can delete comments. You can’t do that face to face!

I was at a conference and from the 1 hour presentation the speaker shared (it was all about networking – face to face), I took this quote away to ponder – Be willing to come out of a conversation a different person – I had to share that one with you, knowing you’re all about great conversations – and I believe those conversations can occur online as well as face to face – as long as we take responsibility for showing up and being willing to be changed – and ideally, it’s for the better.
