Now, I’ll be honest up front and say that I believe I have expertise in a few subject areas. Writing for one. Team management for another. We all have these areas of expertise which we not only use to nab a paycheck, but we’re proud of them. They distinguish us from the crowd, and we […]
Today’s post is a guest blog by Johnathon Sullinger, a Construction Field Supervisor who also has experience in software development. He just recently became promoted and wrote up some of his experiences about becoming a new supervisor. Enjoy his advice on making the transition and what he’s learning about managing a team. About two months […]
So it’s no secret that my Twitter account is mainly to promote Fellowstream. I recently wrote an article on how I think start-ups should use Twitter to promote themselves. However, as stated in that post, I believe in the power of relevant marketing, to start conversations, to connect the right people to the right […]
If you’ve been following my Twitter account this last week, you’ll notice I’ve been writing a lot of tweets on “writing ad copy.” Some writers find marketing copy a chore. I see it as more of a challenge. I need to give you useful information in the most pleasing way possible to persuade you to […]
Today, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Deepak, a social media expert. He wanted to learn more about Fellowstream and how we stand out from the rest of the crowd. I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed answering his questions. And hey, if you have any questions about Fellowstream, […]
I’ve noticed in Fellowstream’s Google Analytics data that a lot of people get to the site by reading some past articles I wrote on self–managed teams. I’m very passionate about this subject because I’ve done my absolute best work under the hand of a well-run self-managed-team. When executed right, they give you the flexibility to […]
Right after college, I taught English in Japan on the JET programme (which I highly recommend for anyone who wants to really experience living abroad). At my base school, I was grouped together with all the normal English teachers as a teacher’s aide – I would go into classrooms with the main teacher and supplement […]
So I’ll admit that I was one of “those people” who just didn’t get Twitter when I first made an account. What’s up with 140 characters? Why is everyone creating ridiculous lists of #ff? I didn’t see the point, and even though I love aquatic animals, I saw that damned “fail whale” way too often […]
Most of us know the cliché, “The squeaky wheel gets the grease,” meaning that the loudest people gain the most attention. The complaining shopper earns free credit at a department store. The crying sibling gets more sympathy from her parents. The co-worker with the best boasting skills receives the promotion. Well I say, throw away […]
I love to debate. My friends roll their eyes when I use the term “devil’s advocate” because that means I’m about to get started. I love trading ideas and learning about the world through someone else’s perspective. It’s probably the writer in me because I love characters, and you can’t understand characters unless you can […]
