Here are all my intentional LinkedIn posts to date…
Today’s post on LinkedIn is promoting the PSTA’s upcoming contract management course — which will be amazing:
Have you ever seen a brilliant contract go wayyyy off track? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_contract-management-public-service-transformation-activity-6985858338269876224-7VOn/
And I’m looking forward to promoting the exciting Level 7 Systems Thinking Practitioner Apprenticeship from Cherith Simmons with SCiO shortly: https://www.systemspractice.org/node/870
So, all told, with the job adverts, a lot of my recent posts have been ‘promotional’. I went to look back on my catalogue of intentional posts, since I started maybe three years ago (very badly recorded in Roam). And roughly sorting them took all my time — so I’m sharing them here for consideration, future reference… I dunno, something like that! All of them are also available at www.chosen-path.org and https://antlerboy.medium.com/
It’s fascinating to see how the number of views (which is recorded — based on rough checking soon after the time of posting — at the start of each item) is somewhat arbitrary, based on timing, boosting, and so on.
Please ignore the [[Roam]] cross-links, which obviously don’t work here… and, Because Roam Sort, they’re in ascending order of views…
