How can I help?

Hi, CoreConnector. How can I help with your adoption? I saw that you have an interest in Communication, which is something I studied a little bit when getting (speech, parliamentary procedure, mass communications, TV production) my BA. More recently, I have had some exposure to to more outlying topics such nonviolent communication, sociocracy, open Space Technology, & smoke signal. I also worked in IT for a phone company.

My strength as an editor is finding & placing citations.

Thank you for responding, Peaceray! I appreciate your willingess to help out.

I'm glad to hear you have some Communication experience through your BA! And funny you should mention your expertise in citations and education on nonviolent communication because I attempted my first edit on that very page!

A couple questions...

Eventually, I will want to try creating a page and want to give it the best chance of being accepted. Would it help my credibility to develop my User Page? If so, what is the best way to approach it?

What recommendations do you have for editing/improving pages in the Communications realm?

On a more personal note, with your experience in IT, did you feel that your role necessitated a lot of strong communications and relationship-building? As that is my experience with IT professionals, and I admire people who possess both advanced technical and relationship knowledge!
