As you said, it's tough to separate the two worlds.

If dropping a 'thoughts are mine' in a profile or on a blog 'About me' page provides some protection for the company (not sure if it really does), and gives the employee more freedom than they might have otherwise, then I don't have a problem with that. Of course Jay, I agree with you in reality it is hard to separate the professional from the personal, with or without disclaimer language.

I kept my facebook account "personal" for a long time, but eventually realized that at least for me, opening myself up across all platforms was the best option.

However, what I quickly realized is how much the personal and professional mesh nowadays if you want to present a total, authentic picture of yourself. So I am slowly making my way out of the "blogger closet" and allowing more people to know the total me -- including the people at work.

I call it the "One Second Rule." That is, give yourself a moment to reflect on what you're about to say before you actually say it. That rule is so important when using social media.Jay Kuhns, SPHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813031657500594380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-55134924648850904512012-01-10T08:37:18.616-05:002012-01-10T08:37:18.616-05:00It takes a while to find the balance.

I also consider for a moment before soemthing "controversial" and reflect on how that might be perceived by my larger community, and how it might impact the brands/groups I do community work for. Otherwise, I still run my mouth.Michael VanDervorthttp://thehumanracehorses.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-89715509860760527122012-01-10T08:07:50.580-05:002012-01-10T08:07:50.580-05:00You got me at "heavy metal" . . .
Love ...You got me at "heavy metal" . . .<br /><br />Love the post !! This is a great point to throw out to the masses because these have to be personal thoughts. One always has to be conscious of what they put out to everyone. Unfortunately, we have some who choose an "on-line" persona vs. being themselves.<br /><br />Being genuine and consistent will always keep you in line with your approach. Jay, great post as always.
