I also put it up on my FaceBook so that will be interesting. A lot of my "friends" are my kids' friends. Thanks — I thought so. I also put it up on my FaceBook so that will be interesting.

]]> Comment on Internal vs External Consultants by Terry Carter http://jgjoyce.edublogs.org/2008/09/28/internal-vs-external-consultants/comment-page-1/#comment-6 Terry Carter Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:23:47 +0000 http://jgjoyce.edublogs.org/?p=20#comment-6 Yet the internal consultant has a distinct advantage over many external consultants ... credibility!! If you, as an internal consultant, have consistently been authentic with those for whom you work, have been helpful to them without causing them to lose face, and have understood them better than others because of your knowledge of and ability to understand the culture in which they are embedded, then you are at a distinct advantage. This is what makes you valuable, regardless of the rate or rank of your position in the organization. I have actually seen senior vice presidents jealous of the power and influence of an internal consultant because of her credibility and the respect that others inside the organization had for her. Talk about awesome responsibility!! tjc Yet the internal consultant has a distinct advantage over many external consultants … credibility!!

]]> Comment on First impressions of ADLT 610 by Terry Carter http://jgjoyce.edublogs.org/2008/08/26/first-impressions-of-adlt-610/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Terry Carter Fri, 29 Aug 2008 21:48:46 +0000 http://jgjoyce.edublogs.org/?p=9#comment-4 Hi, Janet, I think you may be surprised just how relevant this course is in your job ... we didn't cover a lot of ground in our first class since much of our time was devoted to getting our blogs up and running, but we'll make up for that when we next meet again. Very few of our learners will ever go out and "consult" in the sense of hanging out a shingle, but all of them work in contexts where they have to influence others, and most all of them have people who come to them for advice. I suspect that many people come to you with problems that appear to be related to training or management, asking for your input. When you help them, you're consulting. This course will introduce you to a philosophy of helping that enables you to teach others how to solve similar problems in the future -- in essence, you become a model for learning how to learn. I hope you enjoy it, and I think you'll learn much you can use in your work. Welcome. BTW, magic number is 8 for a class. Our classes are usually small, but that makes for an opportunity for all voices to be heard :-) Welcome! TJC. (Very, very nice site -- really beautifully customized.) Hi, Janet,

]]> Comment on My first entry into the world of blogging by Terry Carter http://jgjoyce.edublogs.org/2008/08/14/hello-world/comment-page-1/#comment-2 Terry Carter Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:58:33 +0000 #comment-2 Welcome to ADLT 610, Janet, and to the blogosphere, as well. We are delighted to have you join us as a prospective doctoral student. You've already gotten off to a great start with this blog. One thing I've noticed about Edublogs is that writing posts to the home page will allow others to offer comments; these blog entries will be tracked and listed ("archived") as entries to your blog. Any other pages that you add, including "About" and a page for 610 and The Journey, are static pages -- you can load content onto them in writing on the page, but you cannot "post" to them ... does that make sense? So, for any class assignments, you'll want to write posts to the home page. I have very much enjoyed reading your journey. It is NEVER too late for advanced education! I am looking forward to getting to know more about you and your interests and goals for doctoral education as the semester progresses.
