Here are some of the suggestions Tara gave to the Global Women’s Leadership Alliance for building a platform using existing free technology and ways to encourage the community to come together and share ideas.

Great points from GlobalNiche grad Kelly Hevel  about what community is for, how you in particular use it, how our needs change but we may not be able to see the kind we need or where we might find it, and how the border between online and offline evaporates when you take online seriously. 

Are you a drifting ship?* Here novelist Jessica J J Lutz writes about hoisting sails with GlobalNiche. *As she explains the phenomenon, "people who need help focusing their ideas, who get overwhelmed by all the options on social media and therefore don’t use it to the max to get their message out."

How would you fill in these blanks? “If all the people in my _____community were bonded together then we could accomplish ______.”

Experiment with filters until you find the ones that deliver what you want to know, and block out the material you can’t use.

People are going to Google you before getting to know you in person. You'll want them to find what you care about and how you want to be known.

My top 3 take-aways from facilitating a Personal Brand table at Cisco’s Connected Women – Networking With A Purpose event in San Jose.

Here, academic Zeynep Kilic explains "I resisted signing up even though I didn’t like the way my work life was going. I’m always behind and I work nonstop. I don’t have time to imagine other talents, a life that looks different, or figure out the steps to get there. GlobalNiche got me to streamline my interests in a way that would get me credit at my job. I feel a huge shift in my life. So much more hopeful and confident about who I am and what I want to do. I no longer feel apologetic about my interests. I can dream about a future that will feel fulfilling regardless of where I am."

"For two years I’ve been growing a ‘You’ centered business in a part of the world where people usually do not draw attention to themselves and certainly not with personal details in a professional setting.

"You can imagine how my work as a personal branding consultant might face a deeply-rooted cultural contradiction," writes India's personal branding pioneer Dr. Amit Nagpal.

My digital literacy training & consulting equips individuals & groups to reach offline goals through your online presence.

I live & breathe content (curation-creation-strategy-marketing); global personal branding; online & 'author' platform building; social & mobile tech as the contemporary survival skills they are; women's empowerment.

I'm a culture bridger with the breadth & the depth and fine understanding of the world demanded today. I get things done, too. Contact me if you want to make what you do better.

San Francisco may be a tech-forward location but that’s not why I’ve increasingly been turning to technology to help me be where and who I am today.I rely on tech because of the 30 moves in 4 countries that came before this one. I rely on tech for my total, global operation.

We’re born content producers. The more prolific among us are literally volcanoes of content. Yet, what you’ve generated probably isn’t working for you. It’s probably not laid out as a path where you want to go, nor presented as an invitation to other like-minded souls and interested parties to join you in your journey. It’s not contributing to the discoverability of you.

It's not going to rescue you. It's not going to ruin you. It's not going to stop even if you want it to. Can you add anything else social media-is-not?

Can you identify with this central paradox a whole field of risk-averse, prolific content generators face?

Lawyers online: so much to share, so many reasons not to.

We’re also doing a disservice to people in our networks who CAN use them right now. The way they are. The way we are.

Have you fully appreciated and acknowledged yourself for the acts of creation you commit?
