www.CatherineBosley.comRemember the saying, "image is everything"? Forget that. Instead, today it's "online image is everything" or "social media image is everything." That Google search can make or break you-whether it's you as an individual, a corporation, an association, or a small business. That, combined with the fact that there's incredible pressure and temptation to share everything we do, see, hear, think and feel with the world (we're talking EVERYTHING, ugh!), leaves us with a reality that calls for a new level of navigational skills. Not just to succeed but, more importantly, to simply stay out of harm's way. The kind of harm that didn't even exist not long ago. The kind of harm that, with one keystroke, can cause chaos, destruction, and pain on so many levels. Our day of digital everything lets us connect like never before, and our human instinct is to take advantage of that-connect, connect, connect. That also makes us vulnerable to being exposed like never before in ways we never imagined and are still discovering. All it takes is one Tweet, share, or forward gone wrong, an impulsive social media post or picture, a misinterpreted email or text-one poor choice, online or off, to set scandal into motion. No one, no company, no organization is immune. Bottom line, there's very little room for a "what was I thinking?" moment, online or off, before it could become attached to you forever and for all to see, one mouse click away. The digital world can turn a real-life world upside down in a virtual split second. It happens every day.Award-winning news anchor Catherine Bosley knows all about it.
