The most popular quote from our twitter account in week 6 of 2013:
Each Monday I share the most RT’d quote(s) from the blogs twitter account over the previous week.
Last week the one quote that was RT’d the most was:
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
(John Quincy Adams)
Tweeted on 5th February
The second most RT’d tweet was:
“Teachers open the doors, but you must enter by yourself.”
(Chinese Proverb)
Tweeted on 9th February
Many thanks to everyone who shared the quotes above and the other quotes from last week. I know that there are various aspects that can influence if a quote attracts your attention – if you saw the tweet, personal style, if it speaks to something happening in your life at that moment etc.
(For those of you as geeky as I am and wondering what tool I’m using to measure individual RT’s it’s www.twitonomy.com)

Recapping the Facebook Monday Invite (from 4th February)
Each Monday on this blogs Facebook page I issue the following question and invitation:
“Have you written/seen a blog post in the past week that you’d think is of interest to coaches and that you’d like to share?”
At the end of each week I will be posting a recap of a selection of the links shared that Monday on our Facebook page.
As normal this week coaches from different parts of the world, with different areas of expertise and specialisms, took the time to share.

If you have a post that you think will be of interest to coaches do take part in tomorrow’s Monday invite and leave the details on our Facebook page.
Whilst it’s lovely for posts to be sent to me via twitter, the nature of a tweet means that it can easily be overlooked when this post is being compiled at a later time. Please leave links in one place, ie our Facebook page so they can be easily shared.
