HOW TO MANAGE YOUR STRESS LEVELS IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR STRESS LEVELS Guest Blog Post By Jane Jackson     My oldest and dearest friend recently told me I’ve got “Rushing Woman Syndrome”. I’d always thought that I was simply multi tasking with a bit of a frazzled appearance. She made me take a step back and look at all I was doing.  I had to admit that I did have a bit of a wannabe Superwoman attitude.  The problem was that I was doing so much that I was actually going around in circles and just was not as productive as I really wanted to be.

I still have a recording of that first show (on cassette - lol)     Jane Jackson: Welcome to my careers podcast, where I interview fascinating professionals who have made amazing career changes. Now, I am very fortunate to have, on the show, a twitter guru. This twitter guru is Keith Keller, who is now well known internationally as the Global Twitter Marketing Specialist. He is a popular speaker on the subject too. He’s appeared on numerous radio shows, teleseminars and webinars across the United States and Canada, UK and Europe as well as Australasia. His regular tweets, @KeithKeller, are testament to his passion for sharing the latest information about Twitter, as well as other social media platforms. He certainly has an ever growing list...
