 One year ago, we went into lockdown. I remember I was just back from San Diego, from Social Media Marketing World. Full of energy, after a long summer break, realigning my goals, vision. I knew change was coming for me, and I took some time off to process things and integrate the changes. 3 months passed, I gave myself time. I focused on things that deserved priority and focus. And I felt ready for the “big come back after the break”. And well, change was just about to start! So there I was, off to San Diego, and back, with the buzz of the conference, after the break I so needed, so ready to go.
And then, lockdown hit. And it changed everything. Change of plan. Change of life. Change of priorities. Change in everything... One year passed. So many things happened. Last year was a huge one. My biggest growth, for me, personally, and of course, it had huge impact on my business. It was the biggest growth year for my business, too. All because of the change. That change. Changes. So many things happened that at the end of 2020, I felt like I needed another long break to “catch up” with growth, and with myself. So, I took a long summer break. Again. Then I prolonged it, just like last year. And so many things happened again. And it feels like I’m still catching up, and certain things need more time. So I listen. I tune in. I decide to pull back and take off the pressure. I am yet to catch up with myself. 3 months passed. And the 4th is coming. And the flower grows. By itself.

 We talk and do a lot of Social Media these days...
Many business owners & leaders seek visibility through the social platforms. You might be one of them? Now, how can you have an efficient presence and get to reach & connect the right clients? Well, it starts with you! And how emotional fluency impacts your business. Let's have a look! I had this vision... to bring together a group of like-minded people... with a common interest around building a Social Media presence for their business, around visibility, and who are willing to explore topics way beyond... So they can make more impact, a true impact on the world and on our communities, as leaders. To bring together people,
This year, I felt this was more relevant than ever... I knew there was something magical out there waiting for us... But it was currently missing in my business landscape of Social. It turned out, not only in my world... So, I decided to create it. Happily, I found the right people to join me on the ride. This is what happened... Join us as we explore! :) Maybe you will be part of it, too? This is just the beginning!  B!Social - Talks that Connect - The Dream team at the Launch! Opportunities, challenges, lessons learned from a big year, 2020, and our personal takes on how can we, as businesses, use Social Media, as we connect with the world, and ourselves, so we can make an impact. Behind the scenes from an event to remember!   Today, I would like to share with you a vision, my vision - it's going to be a personal one. I'm a little bit shy about it, but nevertheless, I feel it's time to do that.
So, my vision and my goal is to use social media as a very specific tool, as a tool for personal growth and development, and to use it as an opportunity - by using it and through the ways of expressing ourselves on it -, as a tool
I think this is missing very much in our world...  Throwback in my mind to the past few years and the life-changing exploration I went on. This is a very personal post and feels like the perfect time to share it. I’ll trust my gut, however, it still feels a bit scary to own this. Well, it is just the time.
September 30 is International Podcast Day. Here are my recommendations on podcast about Social Media, and beyond. Enjoy, and please feel free to share you favourites, too!
Realise. Reflect. Review. Reinvent. Relaunch. Lots of R words for today as we discussed some of our lessons learned from lockdown, the past few months, how our businesses, and we adapted to the sudden changes, and what opportunities we see ahead.
I was joined by a fantastic group of local businesses to exchange experiences, and here are some of the takeaways I really enjoyed so I thought I’ll share. Some are your words, some are mine, as I try to reflect the essence of our conversations, in no particular order of importance, as it is different for each of us. 
Photo of Tim & me as we realised we forgot to snap a pic in time. So here is one for the record ;)
 What happens when there's a very painful loss. Unexpected, out of control. Very very hard to believe, and then let go. Nothing to do, no way back. The tree is cut. The crown is gone. It's done. No one believes it can ever live again. Except for one. And then, the magic happens.
Four months later, two new beautiful shoots appear in the sun... A story of growth. Through expression.  I got these cute ferns from someone yesterday. I love ferns, they are so graceful, delicate & elegant. I’ve always been admiring their shapes & forms, and they would often inspire me as a photo topic when I’m out & about in nature.
As I was welcoming them home, trying to find a place for them, I was thinking about social media, business & growth. How can we spread good energy, good vibes? How can we spread like a fern, bringing people something special through our business? |
