Thrilled to contribute my perspective to this month's "Ask The Expert" column on how to combat digital overwhelm in the business-to-business (B2B) space.
I answer this question from the community of executives and services professionals:
"I’m mentally exhausted from my social media responsibilities. What can I do differently with my digital strategy to make it more sustainable? Automation? Passing it to the intern?"
As you can imagine my approach and method for sustainability hinges on making your engagement with your online social networks one that nourishes you rather than depletes you.
Your network should delight and challenge you; bring you fresh insights and curated news you can use; it should activate you and engage you.
Once you start receiving true value from your network by curating your connections, you’ll have a better sense of how to provide value in return.
As your online communities begin to sustain you, participating in them will become sustainable.
Thanks to my fellow editorial pro Meryl Evans (who I met on Twitter many years ago!) for the invitation to share my perspective with the 40,000 subscribers of this 11-year-old newsletter for consultants, lawyers, accountants, architects, and other professional services professionals.
