I have been deviating from the key themes of this blog, i.e., learning, performance, training and collaboration, for some time now. However, the deviations have been topics that moved me deeply, and I did not want to write about them in a separate blog. I am talking about knowledge work here.

I do a lot of presentations where one of the topics is how to use LinkedIn more effectively as part of your knowledge work.

While this has been a momentous career shift for me, I may not have written a blog post on it except for the learning.
