I’ve updated my Shock-proofing your Use of Social Media presentation for the Fall 2014 New Student Orientation program at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I’ve changed the passphrase example, added a new cartoon, and generally worked to make the presentation more culturally relevant to 18 to 20 year olds.

Let me know what you think of it!

Visualizing Your Professional Network

Category:Infosec Communicator,Social Networking,STC,STC Rochester Tags : 

Did you know that LinkedIn Labs provides a graphical representation of your professional network? It’s similar to a hyperbolic browser I saw demonstrated several years ago in a research facility in Silicon Valley. The map allows you to hover over each point and provides a popup of your connection. After spending last week at the STC Summit conference and adding many contacts to LinkedIn, I thought it would be fun to take a look.

Here’s a picture of my network, highlighting one of my favorite connections. You’ll note that the connections are clustered in several different groups, representing my involvement in two professional organizations, higher education, and the corporate world.

LinkedIn provides a short video overview of the connections map.

Do you find this type of graphical representation useful? Why or why not?

The Introvert’s Dilemma: Why We Fight for Our Teams but Hide from Ourselves

July 28, 2026
Infographic titled "Affirming Your Quiet Superpowers: Build on Strengths, Not Weaknesses," featuring two main sections detailing internal and external shifts for quiet leadership: The Internal Shift: Redefining Leadership Strength-Based Growth Over Weakness Repair: Focuses on building natural strengths rather than spending energy trying to mitigate non-strengths. Quiet Influence vs. Loud Control: Focuses on leading through deep listening, trust-building, and internal processing rather than "command-and-control" management. The Relational Superpower Model: Replaces aggressive "Command" traits with relational strengths like Connectedness, Positivity, and the Relater talent. The External Shift: Building Collaborative Networks The Power of Complementary Teams: Partners with others who naturally excel where you do not to create a balanced network. Shore Up Weaknesses Through Partnership: Strengthens the collective by letting team members focus on their natural areas of excellence. "We Really Need Each Other": Highlights that effective change is driven by individual contributors who leverage mutual credibility and diverse perspectives.
