In my last post, I mentioned that the best way for business leaders to understand Twitter or other social media is to begin using them. I recently saw how experimenting with social media can help business leaders appreciate its power. I had an opportunity to advise a business leader, Ms. Peg Breen, about blogging. Peg was without employment like thousands of other executives and was looking for a meaningful position. She blogged about the stress of this kind of transition, the reactions that people have they you go through job loss, and what it was like to surface leads, network and stay positive. Peg gained a lot from this experience and I asked her to write about her experience and share it with the readers of Leading Virtually. She graciously agreed and shares her experience with us in the following post.
