I got a great insight today about the difference between education and learning when discussing the usage of Klout. Some people who are working within Social media believes education is more important while others are focused on learning.
There are some people who dislike when people are repeating the same message over and over only with some new names. What they don’t know is that there is a human behind each of of those Thank you or Mentioning or Re-Tweet who really likes to be recognized. They are Learning by Doing and see how others are Doing!
What I mean with learning is that you can practice something while education is something you can put on a piece of paper and show but has seldom a value. See “Difference between learning and education” which explains the difference very well.
Since my background is primarily school of life I feel very close to Pink Floyd’s, “Another brick in the wall” and it feels suitable here. But I have to add that I like well educated people who have learned to use their knowledge wisely.
As an IBM Partner I am using webinars for meetings and online educations. IBM has a very smart solution which is far to little known on the market. It is perfect for collaboration using encrypted files and running projects.
There is a great functionality which makes it possible to export or create tasks to activities and assign to participants. Several other functions are also included in the package.
Please let me know if you want to participate on a creative social media webinar and I will get back to you with an appropriate time. It can be used for anything you need help with, coaching, consulting or education.
This is the perfect tool for companies who want to work virtual on a secure IBM environment in the cloud.
I am using Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats and Lateral Thinking which is very fun and efficient.
There are a lot of situations when we need to change our mind set and come up with new thinking and ideas especially when working with “new” areas as Social media.
But, there is always a but, the most ideas are newer implemented due to a lot of reasons I know and can teach you about how to come through.
Innovation Management and Innovation Processes are essential to know about since lack of involvement and understanding from top management and middle management are something you must be aware of.
Corporate Culture is also something you have to consider and how to make sure people are collaborating.

Do you want my Newsletter about creativity and social media?
One of todays biggest challenges is to be authenthic and genuine and don’t play around in Social media without knowing Why you should be there.
I have been working with Social media over 15 years educating people in using tools for collaboration and leading teams. I left IBM in 2010 and re-launched my own company with focus on creativity, values and social media.
If you want to know your values and visions I recommend ValuesOnLine which is a tool to help you to find your own. It’s an OnLine questionnary where you reply during 1 – 1 ½ hour. It’s used by leading companies all over the world and a part of the Swedish Scout training for their youth leaders.
I will get the result and share with you during a face 2 face or Skype session lasting about 2 hrs. I am doing this in my role as a ValuesOnline facilitator.
Read more about ValuesOnLine and book a session with me. I have one seat for free but only if you book within 24 hours. The investment are normally approx. 75 USD for the Ranking questionnary and 360 USD for the personal session.
Social media is HOT and many people want to know the “How to”. I am still questioning the Why since most people don’t understand it’s a paradigm shift and we cannot continue to work as before and only add Social media on top.
To start using Social media is about going into the public space and that’s why I am talking about values and visions as the most important before even think about being in a public space for business. You need to be authentic and genuine on a personal level. There are no work arounds!
I am offering 2 seats, only 1 left for free to go through your values and vision together with me. You start the journey with an OnLine tool and reply on questions during approx. 1 ½ hour. The result will then be shared with you during a Skype session or face 2 face meeting and everything is based on your own story. My role is only to facilitate your process.
You can reply to me by mail, phone, Twitter, Facebook or the tool you feel comfortable with. I am doing this for free as a part of my own training to be a facilitator for helping people to know their values and visions.
If you want to be successful in Social media you need to connect with people and do it regularely on a personal level.
My Klout score and peer index have had a remarkable increase during the last couple of weeks. This is only achieved thanks to a close collaboration with people who are dedicated to help each other to follow our dreams with passion.
Take some time and connect with my friends and leave comments and start up conversation through their blogs. I will continue to share my friends blogs. Pinterest is a Great tool for this and it gives a quick picture overview.

New opportunities and collaborations in 2012
There are no limits and every day has a new opportunity. What do You dream about and do you want to join me on this amazing journey where there are no limits except our imagination?
It’s frustrating to talk about how to use new tools in Social media while I am spending several hours without working smarter. It’s great with links between Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ with help of a Publish Sync app. But this is not enough for keeping track of the flow and reply within fair time.
Here are some tools that I am using and testing for improved collaboration. The feeling of schizophrenia and that I have to clone myself by dividing time between LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Klout and now also Empire Avenue is something which have occupied my creative mind for a while.
I want to be a part of proactive discussions between the social media experts.
It’s also very important to know the customers needs for using Social media. There can be new opportunities but only if we communicate the benefits and provide with some good examples about how to work with at least the three most common tools as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter at the same time.
Yoono a quick overview of a tool which is very easy to start using…
Hootsuite is an excellent tool with several options for analyze and control. You can add apps. for following your top contributors etc. and create reports.
I joined Empire Avenue yesterday and have spent some hours to test how it works.
The purpose is to increase your network by buying and sell shares in people based on their interest and presence in social media. There is a chat and you can easily recommend and endorse people etc.
But the best is it has almost all of the common social media tools as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter and they are reachable while networking.
My approach was to use intuition and creativity instead of thinking, reading and searching for how to do. This have paid off and I am honored to be listed on the EAv Hot Stocks for 12-27-11! Check it out:http://tinyurl.com/7qe8prt
