What I’ve Learned About Creating A Remarkable Online Profile
April 28th, 2010 | 
Author: There are so many websites that ask us to create a profile for ourselves….Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, you get the idea. How do you convey the message you want people to remember in a tiny box? It’s tough, especially if you aren’t used to summing yourself up in 500 words or less. So, what do you say to make sure you are telling people the right things about yourself? The profile is like a mini-resume, and it can be memorable, or it can be a waste of space. Check out the 5 points I put together to setup a profile that will tell the world what you want them to know.

Employee Survival Guide – Guest Post
I’m frequently asked by people in corporate America what steps they could be taking to make their experience inside the paperwork jungle a little bit easier to get through each day. Some of my clients aren’t actually looking for a way out, they are looking for ways to make their mark, enjoy their day, and use some creativity in a job that may not be looking for that skill. Below is an awesome Employee Survival Guide by Bodo Albrecht, a business owner in New Jersey. I met Bodo virtually about a year ago on Seth Godin’s site, Triiibes. I also met him in person in January when we all went to Seth’s book launch for Linchpin. Bodo shares his experiences in the corporate environment and gives you straight up advice, no sugar coating here. So, if you’re looking for ways to stop ripping your hair out at work, keep reading.
Without further ado, the “Employee Survival Guide”
By Bodo Albrecht
Keeping your job in a large corporation is an art. Not many people are masters of this art although there are various approaches to surviving the seemingly random ups and downs a company is exposed to. Up front: I knew I’d never make it so I started my own business. I did, however, study a large number of people I met, people “in transition” with a fresh experience of what didn’t work, and people who seemed to have a lifetime job guarantee for mysterious reasons. Here is what I learned:
My One Year Anniversary Video
Ah yes, the video that encompasses 365 days of work for 365 Degrees Consulting. I started making this video back in May last year. I was capturing confessions, setting up cameras at events, showing highlights and hard times, and using it as a way to chronicle what I do. It was fun, and then it was scary. How you edit 35 hours of footage into a 10 minute movie? Great question! First, it takes a ton of patience. Then, it takes more patience. Then, you have to go through it with a fine-tooth comb. It was really fun and I’m proud of the results. I hope you like it and try it for yourself!
