Here are two videoclip thank-yous to four colleagues who visited Northfield last week during the Int’l Symposium on Local Edemocracy.
This one goes out to a couple of ReadMyDay bloggers, Mary Reid and Isobel Harding.
And this one to Dylan Jeffrey and Julian Bowrey, local e-Gov honchos at the ODPM who, along with Steve Clift, made the whole Symposium happen.
I’m trying to learn my way into how videoblogging (vlogging) can be an effective leadership tool. The idea in these clips:
- verbal tone, gestures, and facial expressions can sometimes convey emotional impact more easily and effectively than plain text
- posting a personal thanks to a public blog like the clip above to Dylan and Julian is somewhat equivalent to saying thanks to an individual in a roomful of people. It widens the impact.
Note to self: next time, move the camera away from my noisy computer fan.
