Be Resourceful!
Well, I’m finally doing it. I’m starting a blog!
I’ve been a big fan of blogging (and podcasting) for a while now. I like the idea of people connecting with each other in conversation. All kinds of conversations. Some passionate, some mundane. All personal. Anyone with Internet access and an opinion can join in. Pretty cool, indeed.
So, why didn’t I do it before now? After all, I’m a communicator by profession. Mostly, because I couldn’t pick a topic. It had to be something people would want to read. And something I would want to write. Something useful. But I have a wide variety of interests and couldn’t pick just one. Then, it hit me! Find a common thread and weave that through the many topics that interest me. I firmly believe that regardless of the topic, knowing all about it isn’t the important thing; knowing how to figure it out is the key. So, resourcefulness emerged as my common thread.
I spend my work days helping the fine people who own and operate Wild Birds Unlimited retail stores. In my role as communications manager at the franchise headquarters, I spend a lot of time helping people locate and use resources. I do a lot of that in my personal life as well. I’ll use this blog as a place to share my favorite resources, tips and tricks on topics that interest me. I hope you’ll find what you read here useful and that it helps you learn to be resourceful!
