Mama’s got a new favorite (blog)
Posted by Gretchen Anthony under Blogroll, Branding, Business Communication, Everyday Communication, Management, Marketing, Reading ListI just fell in love. And I’m willing to share the object of my desires with you. The Engaging Brand, a blog and podcast from Anna Farmery, portrays so much of what I try earnestly to relay to my own clients: that communication is about engagement. And not much else. When you’re engaged it means you’re connected with another; it means that you understand another, or that you’re doing the tough work of trying to; it means you’re getting somewhere, regardless of speed and pain levels; it means that you’ve been invited and able to pass along a piece of yourself.
Without engagement, you may as well be standing alone in a field with your feet stuck in the mud calling for a taxi.
So, check out The Engaging Brand, whether you’re in the business to sell product or lead employees, Anna’s likely got the goods to get you there.

Gosh, being the object of anyone’s passion at my age is “engaging!” Glad you are enjoying the blog, do you listen to the podcast as well? People spend so much money trying to attract but then forget the engagement part…which I find…well infuriating. Conversation is how the world runs, engagement is what creates change…

I am a podcast subscriber (though behind in listening as I recently lost my iPod at the gym - ugh!). Thanks for the interesting work.
