Another Blog

I’ve given birth to yet another blog…metophorically, of course. You may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging much on here lately and that is true. I’ve been busy building yet another online presence at www.lindajohannesson.com.

As many of you know, I’ve been looking for my next great career opportunity here in Sydney for the past [...]

Volunteering

Volunteering is commonly understood as the practice of people working on behalf of others without being motivated by financial or material gain
No material or financial gain? Then what is it that makes us do it? What are the deciding factors in making a commitment to invest our time, energy, ideas?
I’ve asked a lot of people [...]

IABC conference in San Francisco

I know I’ve been a little quiet lately. That’s ’cause I’ve been spending my time with another blog (relax, we’re just friends!) but if you’re interested in seeing what I’ve been up to check out the outtathegate campaign.

Introducing outtathegate…

Introducing …outtathegate … news, highlights and ideas from the IABC World Conference 2009 in San Francisco this June 7th – 10th

Gruen Transfer …LIVE!

Was “in studio” last night for the taping of The Gruen Transfer, episode #6 of this season.
“The Gruen Transfer (TGT) is a show about advertising, how it works, and how it works on us. Hosted by the inimitable Wil Anderson, TGT decodes and defuses the commercial messages that swirl through our lives, with the [...]

SEEK and ye shall find…

..and hopefully it won’t take too long.
With the contract with Ingenium coming to an end because of cutbacks, I had hoped that I wouldn’t need to begin my job search yet. But, we were notified yesterday that our landlord is considering selling the property in the very near future. While I had visisons of coming [...]

A Conference, Chris and a Climax (of the writing kind, or course!)

For the past few days, Chris attended and presented three sessions at the  Leading a Digital School conference. I accompanied him and used the time for an impromptu writing retreat to forge forward on my novel.
 
Chris was pleased with his sessions and we both enjoyed many spirited discussions over the three days. We had a lovely time at the [...]

CAC September Newsletter Article by Yours Truly…

September 2008 Issue
Getting the Goods on Google’s Gems
I had wanted to share a plethora of cool tools with you in this month’s column, but to really “geek out” and share all the pertinent details, I would have gone on for days which would surely have sent you into a head spinning, eyes glazed over state [...]

Experiencing the “I” in IABC

I’ve been a card-carrying member of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) for almost 20 years now. Throughout that time, I’ve had glimpses of the International nature of the association, attending the International Conferences, forming alliances with people from far away lands – Bermuda, Greece and England just to name a few. 
Thursday night, right here [...]
