blogging as an action point
A contributor at tompeters! poses this interesting question: “When we blog how can we ensure that we are adding to the amount of action in the world rather than the amount of chattering?” Here’s my response. Although I write articles for print and online publications, this blog gives me an unmatched platform for sharing my thoughts on optimizing skills, success and satisfaction in the law. Through blogging, I’ve connected with others looking to move the legal profession in a positive direction by creating a dialogue among legal service providers and consumers. The LexThink event I discussed here is a prime example of the constructive action blogging can beget in the world. And here’s another action point: Blogging (both publishing my own blog and reading others) has helped me put my ideas into practice through my seminars and consulting business and other speaking engagements. Because these ideas have been so well received, I've decided to devote more time and resources to my work as a speaker-educator. As I move along the new professional path I’ve mapped out, I know that this blog will provide a great forum for sharing the challenges I'll face and the triumphs that will spur me onward.
