What I Learned this Week

Friday, April 17th, 2009 by Starr Million Baker

That I spend too much timing thinking about/fretting about/worrying about what to write in a blog post and should just write the dang blog post (thus this blog post ;-) ).

That I so love public speaking and want to do more of it – thank you Central TX PRSA for reminding me of that and UT Austin adv/pr class, I look forward to talking with you in two weeks.

That the reason I love public speaking is similar to the reason I love twitter – the opportunity to talk with people whom I would not otherwise have had the opportunity.

That the other reason I love twitter is that EVERY DAY (thank you Chris Brogan, Todd Defren, and yes, even you Evil PR Guy) I am inspired to do a better job at my profession and at my humanity.

That I don’t think @oprah and @aplusk are ruining Twitter – don’t we all have the right not to follow them? Follow those who inspire you and ENGAGE with you.

That working all the time is hard work, but working at something you love makes it all worthwhile.

That when you’re the best fit for the client, you get the client (welcome BlueAnt!).

That two weeks is a LONG time for @poloskey to be gone.

That at the end of the day, work is where the head is, but home is where the heart is – and I am very lucky in both regards.

What did you learn this week?
