The Value of Sharing 


When I first saw this page it looked like a mess to me. A hodgepodge of links loosely categorized and approximating the steps of a job hunt or the sections in a career plan. As I investigated further and clicked a few links, I began to see the method to the madness. It was a diamond in the rough, waiting for a skilled artisan like me to see the facets of the shimmering prize hidden beneath the rubble. The links took me to a treasure trove of knowledge, tips and best practices I could use to advance my career. That’s when I realized the value of sharing. That’s when I began to pay it forward and share my links with the knowledge community every day.

What is a Knowledge Community?


Formerly known as a discourse community and having evolved from forums and web forums, knowledge communities are now often referred to as a community of practice or virtual community of practice. Knowledge communities nurture and facilitate ongoing relationships and a Knowledge Ecosystem where ideas are exchanged on an ongoing basis. Knowledge value is generated (derived, realized) during the transactional nature of the exchange.



PR 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

If you take one step in faith, the Lord will work it out!
