One of the big misconceptions of my exploits as a blogger is that my interest is self-serving. I understand that the URL is my name and yes, "the dude actually has a logo" lol, talking about this always makes me smile. It does because if you spend any time around me you would know that I am very pro-Caribbean in my outlook and I am always willing to share my knowledge to help out a situation.

Now for me, CoreyKGraham.Me is my "portal to the world". I see it as a domain where I can share my thoughts, ideas and experiences with the world. It is my hope that these posts will move the world forward, however small. My greatest pleasure actually comes when one of my blog posts helps people who I would not normally touch make more informed decisions, whether it is with their marketing strategy or their next smartphone purchase. My drive is to help others and to do my part to enhance this world.

Having said all of that I want to invite you to become a member of my site and subscribe to my newsletter so that I can continue to share with you. To be quite honest my decision to do this membership / subscribe to my newsletter drive is to set up the platform to offer freebies and discounts to you as the opportunity arises. I'll so no more you decide if its of value to you.

Alrite so get involved,

Science took over much of my younger years. When my peers were caught up reading novels, I was into the science books exploring and reading about great inventors especially the "light bulb man" Thomas Edison. He is one inventor I really respect. I also was into creating things. I always had some new project I was working on putting together or experimenting with when I should have been doing homework or studying to get an A instead of a B.

There were some good times, I remember borrowing my mother's face mirror to make a solar cooker and staying up till 4:30 am writing code for my computer game among many, many other  things. Not all of my experiments went right of course … like the time I got a new science kit. I was all excited intoxicated but all the new ideas and possibilities filling my head. Immediately I started to experiment. I remember the last thing I tried on that first day of receiving the kit was removing my night light from the socket and putting wires into the wall socket…. Before I continue let me just make it clear that my night light was only used because of security concerns from my parents. 

Now, about that final experiment of Day 1 of receiving the science kit. Actually I made an equation which captures what I learnt brilliantly. It taught me -

wires + wall socket + small fire + burned wall socket = unhappy parents + l,

where l  = licks to impart a lesson imparted by my loving parents – don't get caught experimenting

My experimenting today, is most publicly apparent on this blog. Those of you who are longstanding readers of my blog would know that it is a constant evolution, there is always something new. I would say though, that in the Caribbean we don't always get to be on the creative side of technology as most of our technology is imported and maintained. Personally, I believe in creativity and innovation and I believe that we have alot of potential in this area. As a result, I am happy to be involved with the online promotion of the SciTech Expo In Barbados through Drenalin Productions.

Today, I want to remove the official hat and talk to you outside of professional allegiances, because too often we limit creativity to music, dance and visual arts. If you believe that creativity and a spirit of innovation should exist in our Caribbean Community, make some time to become involved in the SciTech Expo if even as a guest interacting with primary, secondary and tertiary students, professionals and other like minded persons.

You can

• share it on Facebook
• put it in your status
• tweet about it
• mention it to interested persons

See you later this week! Come and see exhibits in the area of agriculture, computer science, engineering, environment, medicine, health and technology

Successful venture capitalist, Marketing Expert and International Entrepreneur, Bill Walsh is coming to Barbados to deliver a free seminar on "Vision To Wealth" at the Barbados Hilton on Thursday, March 18th 2010, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM. 

Now I was able to see Bill live at the Caribbean Internet Marketing Summit and he was very good. He spent 90 minutes showing some of the key ways to grow your business. Now from my vantage point he seemed to know what I he was talking about. His points centred around  the need to build a business with a strong foundation and with systems that win. Its also interesting that some of the top names in the personal development business have openly endorsed him. Brian Tracy gave him a testimonial and Les Brown has actually partnered with him to produce the Method and Motivation seminar. (http://www.methodandmotivation.com/)

It can't hurt to listen. I know I will be there!

We hear a lot about social media daily and in your business I am sure you are approached often about incorporating these new tools into your strategies, right at the central nervous system. There are several people who are pro-social media, myself included, who are consistently sharing the benefits in every way possible and from every conceivable perspective. The thing is though what happens in a crisis? When the sea of social media tools and networks only serves to strengthen the hurricane?

Now for those of you in Barbados the International Association Of Business Communicators – Barbados (IABC Barbados), is putting together a teleseminar to discuss this exact point. Now for those of you outside of Barbados, stay tuned in, as I will be posting the key points from the session.

Christal McIntosh, President of the IABC Barbados expands on this - 

When a crisis hits, companies without a crisis communication plan may lose control of the story while management and the legal department are still agonising over the press release, says the head of a local organisation for corporate communicators.

“You can’t wait until the crisis is upon you to start figuring out how you will communicate with stakeholders and the wider public,” warns Christal McIntosh, president of the Barbados chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC).

“You need a written plan that anticipates the major crises that could affect your company, and spells out who is going to do what and by when, if any of those crises occur.”

McIntosh says the advent of social media has dramatically altered the speed at which companies have been accustomed to communicate when a crisis happens.
