Earlier in the week, I posted here on A New Marketing Commentator what I called “my career imperative, my own personal brand mantra, my clarion call to any potential employer who will listen and accede to my dream of a new and even better way of doing my work.”
And while I suppose what I wrote in this post could have been perceived as over the top, I can tell you that it was straight from the heart, honest, urgent (at least in my mind, it was – and still is) and extemporaneous (although I second-guessed it for hours before I dared publish it).
It certainly was a reflection of who I am not just as a blogger, but as a person at home and at work.
I can’t help but keep it real.
Fortunately, the upshot of this one post has been more positive and prolonged than anything else I’ve written for this blog except for “Why Advertising, Marketing and PR Pros Should Blog,” Parts One, Two and Three.
So thank you, blogosphere, for doing what you do so well – bring like-minded people together.
Thank you, David Burn, editor of AdPulp (for picking up this post first)… Robert Rosenthal, creative genius at Mothers of Invention, (for your way-too-kind words about me on your way-too-cool new blog, Freaking Marketing)…Amy Gahran, conversational media consultant, content strategist, freelance writer/editor and author of both Contentious and The Right Conversation (I’ve been reading you for so long, it’s about time I connected with you!)…Stephanie Rogers (a marketing professional and kindred spirit who was kind enough to wish me luck on her blog, CultureJunkie)…and blogging mastermind, Ted Demopoulos (who wrote a flattering piece about my “career imperative” on his blog, Blogging for Business).
I appreciate the time everyone else took just to read this post, not to mention write the few comments left behind.
I am grateful for all your support and suggestions, phone calls and emails.
My search for a new job goes on, but I promise to get back next week to my regularly scheduled blogging. I already have two new posts in the queue, one in which Yvonne DiVita of Lip-Sticking answers several of my questions on fair use in the blogosphere and another in which David Baker, Principal of ReCourses, Inc. (a management consulting firm that works exclusively with public relations, advertising, and design firms), tells us which staffing decisions have the greatest impact on our clients.
So please do stay tuned. And, again, thank you.
