Publishing
Share your experiences and insights such that they contribute to the sensemaking of others.
participate in a Sensemaker Network by both consuming the information others provide and contributing your own work.
If we don’t communicate what we experience and what we’ve learned from our experience, then it will be lost to others when we die.

In academia, publishing has a very specific meaning. It means that you write papers that are good enough to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. In our case, we want to get our ideas out into the world, so almost any publishing method is acceptable. You will want to tie into a Sensemaker Network, however, that can verify your thinking and give it greater credibility.

Publishing doesn’t have to be limited to writing. You can publish using any media that works for you, like video for example.
Therefore:
Share your experiences and insights with others through some form of publishing that can persist and be shared by others. Publish in a form that contributes to the sensemaking of others and doesn’t increase confusion or otherwise add to the pollution of the information ecology.
As you’re working to improve your sensemaking and communication, look for Heroes that you can emulate, and work to become one for others. You may be able to set up your publishing as a component of the system that allows you to share your Working Files
