Introducing The Circle (What Online Community Questions Do You Want Answered?)
Having been in this space for so long, I am fortunate to know many great minds that work within it. I enjoy the interactions that I have with them and have been thinking recently about how I could showcase those conversations here. I came up with something I am referring to as The Circle.
My hope is that it will become a regular feature, fueled by your questions. I will select questions and then ask great community professionals to answer them, instead of just trying to answer them myself. It’ll be a different group of people each time. A lot of these professionals will not be people who blog regularly or write regularly on the profession. They’ll be people I know who do the work and understand this space as well as anyone.
It’ll be fun to add these other perspectives into the blog. I look forward to learning from them. But to get started, I wanted to introduce the concept and put a call out for questions. What would you like me to ask? Please leave me a comment or, if you’d like to remain anonymous, send me an email. Thanks.
Patrick, this is a great idea. Having more opinions and voices giving their perspective is great. I really enjoyed your interview with Bassey Etim and David Williams.. So will these be like that or more “guest posts”? Look forward to seeing some great questions and new insights.
Hey Adrian,
Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad that you enjoyed the conversation with Bassey and David. What I envision for The Circle is one question with 4-6 people answering it. They won’t be aware of each other’s answers, as Bassey and David were, but I think it will help expose professionals in this space to some of our greatest minds and hopefully bring about different ways of looking at the same issue. Most issues don’t have a singular right answer and this will help illustrate that, as well.
Thanks again,
Patrick
