Terrific funny video I found. It’s a Steelcase promotional video making fun of the office environment. It’s relevant to some of the changes that are coming our way through the use of more social business collaboration tools. They’re doing some interesting work in “The Connected Workplace.” Love to hear some thoughts and comments!
Faith Popcorn was right about some things, the cocooning of America wasn’t one of them. Her popular book, The Popcorn Report predicted that we would be hermits in our homes with our food delivered and our media on demand. The social media and social networking capabilities of the internet have come out of the early adoption phase. Guess what? We’re gathering differently. We’re connecting more. Our relationships get real faster.
We’re proud to be associated with such a powerful message. Who’s got your back is not just some new flavor of the month self-help book. Our connectedness to others that are not just telling us what we want to hear, but instead telling us what we need to hear has been lacking. This is the beginning of an amazing change for those willing to embrace what it means to have true lifelines and to be a lifeline to others.
With excitement, pride and a dose of fear I’ve begun our campaign to help Keith Ferrazzi move into the realm of social media. Keith is a respected thought leader in relationship development. He writes and speaks passionately about relationships that are formed out of being vulnerable and generous. At the moment, though, we are just beginning to breath a listening, transparent presence into what and who Keith Ferrazzi is online.
Don't go it alone - I can help you create success using my step-by-step approach to building your own dream team.
When I spoke with Keith and Tahl Raz about it they were concerned, saying, “We want to do it right, our ideology is in absolute alignment, sociologically, and, we’re about to launch this book – as life changing a book as Never Eat Alone was…, ” And, it’s not a self-help book. It’s a learn-how-to-let-others-help book.”
Keith and the Ferrazzi brand are online in all forms of media. He’s well published, written about and often featured by major media like CNN and CNBC. It’s just that his audience is not, largely being listened and responded to online. Keith and the Ferrazzi team are not listening they way they feel they should. And, together, we’re determined to change – fast. We welcome advice and participation.
The University of Phoenix has agreed to sponsor a “Who’s Got Your Back,” Road Show. I’ had never heard of something like this – but as a “giveback” to his followers and fans, Keith is delivering his 9-step program for building the ultimate team-based success strategy, complimentary to the public. Take a look at this video of Keith’s explanation of what he and book are offering:
