Connected Worker

This is a site that’s been in the works for months — inside my brain.

I’m a guy who spends most of my day job producing Career Advice content for Monster.com and a good chunk of my “free time” blogging, podcasting, speaking, consulting, and thinking about social media. But what I wanted was a place to bring those two worlds together, where I could write and talk about how to use the social web for becoming a better, smarter, more productive, and more networked worker and person.

This site will serve as that place, and so, the Connected Worker is born.

If you’re a Connected Worker like I am, then you probably see things a little like this:

• You use technology not for just technology’s sake — although, yes, it can be downright scary cool at times — but because it helps you do your job.
• You live and embrace a blended life, where your work life and personal life form a complementary mashup.
• You’re part of the online social web not because you don’t want face-to-face relationships, but because you do value genuine and meaningful connections and friendships. You know that the latest and greatest social media tools and social networking sites help make these new relationships a reality.
• You recognize that by blogging, podcasting, or otherwise being savvy in the online space, you will build your personal brand and raise your professional profile.

The content of this site will reflect these beliefs. Thank you for joining me as I explore them. I’m looking forward to your input all along the way.
