The most popular quote from our twitter account in week 43 of 2013: 1
Each Monday I share the most RT’d quote(s) from the blogs twitter account over the previous week. Last week there was a tie for the most RT’d tweet between:
“People who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it.”
(George Bernard Shaw)
Tweeted on 26th October
and:
“Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.”
(Jack Canfield)
Tweeted on 27th October
The second most RT’d tweet was:
“He who thinks too much about every step he takes will stay on one leg all his life.”
(Chinese Proverb)
Tweeted on 23rd October
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 this week I’ve been playing with www.twitonomy.com)

Recapping the Facebook Monday Invite (from 20th October 2013)
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. This week was a quieter week but one which saw new faces share their work.

Want your post included next week? 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 the thread on our Facebook page so they can be easily shared.
