When asked what benefits he gets from participating in social media, Jordan said:
Social media is a great way to hear first-hand from leaders, innovators and others practising on the front lines from all over the world. Having access to the thoughts and experiences of those in your industry through social media allows for a broadening of one’s knowledge base on a scale unlike anything that was previously possible. Social media provides a platform for an ongoing exchange of ideas, best practices and advice which can serve to improve our profession as a whole. It is also great to have a constant stream of news and events that I can absorb quickly to stay informed.
