Create Your e-mage©

Create your e-mage …or I choose to start my blog the day I answer yes ! to what is following:

Define (my) project or «realistic goals and means»
I am a Project Executive, working in the (b2b) events business for 8+ years. I am in the process of moving forward to reach the next level in my career.

Need a showcase or find the accurate tool to make the difference
Answering “yes” to the “do you have a blog” question is not the point. Creating an useful tool (plus you are good at) is the correct target. Later on, you will need/create/be involved in face-to-face contacts.

Have something to say or “personal branding is a full-time job”
Well, it is the hardest part isn’t it ? Pick up fitted tool to do it, do it well and keep in mind that “the exercise” itself is an asset for the future.

Manage to save the time. To prepare (and succeed in) your project, you need time, save it !

Love writing
In my current job, I have to write on a daily basis : promotion literature to be built or drop some guidelines to be posted online. Putting it more «personal» : writing and reading are 2 assets I can rely on eg a few words about “the next big thing”, a quote, feedback from recent professional experience and …. creating connections that way.

Love sharing vs hating the «take-and-go» internet thing
Social media define new trends and new habits in communications, marketing and research. It does not mean that you can do anything : copy and paste existing articles, never saying thank you to new connections, boosting your number of connections to “create that image”… these are basic tricks to avoid. Plus (which is worse), readers will guess easily.

“Networking is the key” “Keep on learning from the internet“
These are not quotes, of course. They are what I include in my professional scheme.
