INFORMATION AGE....?

Bonjour mes amies,
Ca fait long temps, vers 5 mois ! (I am only practising my French).
How is life with you?
I recently entered a new season of my life....I will gist you more about this later on.

I have been perplexed by the “information age” drive going on around.
I recently received a business card from someone and all I saw was:
Front side – name, interest and roles
Back side – twitter, linked In, Facebook, Blog, email and phone nos
I was quite impressed. I guess networking these days is faster and easier with social media profiles as listed above.
I am almost there, social media wise, I can’t just get to sign myself up on twitter! (somebody please encourage me)

Someone I mentor asked me to proof read his first book and write a testimonial for him that would be published in the book. After sending the reviewed documents and testimonial he asked me a question I felt I have never been asked before. “How do you want to be addressed?” And I simply said “Joseph Adenuga.”
Then he said “Just like that”, at this point I figured I needed to give it a second thought so I told him to call me back so I can reflect on it.
After meditating for some couple of hours, guess what I came up with?

Joseph Adenuga
An Enthusiastic Dream coach, experienced geoscientist and a seasoned speaker

What do you think?! I really felt uncomfortable singing my own song.
So, finally I now know what to write on my personalized business card after all:
Front side
Joseph Adenuga
Dream Coach, Experienced Geoscientist, Seasoned Public Speaker, Staunch Investor
Backside
Facebook – Joseph Olalekan Adenuga
Linked In – Joseph Adenuga
Phone nos – 08038075789

So what will yours look like?
