Our Personal Learning Network

The hardest portion of gaining and maintaining one's place in the working world is our professional relationships. One misstep can lead to years of missed opportunities and the chance that other people can dictate what the world thinks of you. As they say, perception becomes reality.

The choice of mentors, networking circles, and eventually the individuals who have the most influence on our professional mindset has to be taken with get care. Moreover, the choices must cover the people we may have  alienated or done a disservice to along the way. Pressures, in the workplace are manifestation of how we handled the problem(s). 

Unlike most professions, artistic pursuits rarely fit the Wharton Business School models. Of course the rules of business are practical at all times. Still, the painting of Sistine Chapel is not the daily running of Boeing Aerospace. They are both enterprises, but they are vastly different in what they accomplish and how they get to completion.

So I'm including a link for a collection of resources for those in the arts or those related pursuits: Social Arts Practices Network (SPAN). There are timely articles and information on the arts, grants, and finance.

So feel free to drop me a line if you like...
