Nice addition, Dennis! Thanks for sharing.

I appreciated your perspective on social media and swimming, too: http://t.co/MdG3A5N0

Great insights and analogy, Petra. While I can’t speak directly (as a gymnast), I do believe in the importance of a good coach.

As it relates to social media, you might not have a coach (although there are plenty of social media consultants who provide that service), but you’ll be more effective if you apply learnings from all the wonderful people you interact with. So keep your eyes wide open and learn from those around you.

Love the comparison between sports and social media; often think of sports as separate from business, but both are just as competitive and require dedication, conditioning and training.
