I’m aware of who I work for. (That’s a link to ECG Management Consultants.) I’m aware of what I say. (That’s a link to this very blog.) What I represent as coming from me is fairly easy to find and filter through. (That’s a link to a Google search for my name.)
I’m aware of various opinions about how blogging impacts and represents all the different entities involved, regardless of their desires to be involved or not. That’s why I am open an honest about what I write about. That’s why I don’t write about some things that I think will “get me in trouble.” At the same time, I don’t let anyone tell me what to write or what not to write. Those choices are my own. So, when I don’t get in trouble for what I don’t write, that is my own calculated decision.
I understand responsibilities and perceptions.
Sometimes I sign non-disclosure agreements. I have integrity in dealing with those, and I ask questions to clarify what things mean in those regards. If it makes sense or is smart to include that info as a disclosure when I’m blogging, I do that.
So, when you (as a reader) are wondering where I’m coming from when I write something, I’m coming from me, and I’m representing me.
