f8, Facebook’s annual Developer Conference, took place today and I spent the morning listening to the keynotes on the livestream. Lots more change is coming to Facebook. (Don’t panic!) I’m excited about what I’ve seen so far and the potential for users to have a more engaging experience. Let me walk you through what I [...]
Can you take a break from social media? I’ve been offline much of the last month. Instead of doing social I’ve been out and about being social. I didn’t plan it that way, it’s just what happened. And it’s been grand. I kept up with my offline work obligations – teaching assignments, coaching sessions and [...]

I’m a conference junkie. Yup, I have the habit of going to conferences. These events are a great opportunity for networking, learning and gaining some new perspectives.

If you’ve ever struggled to connect with friends, fans or followers; wondered what to say to them or know that you’re using social media without a clear plan in place, this is the program [...]
I have always advised business owners to leave politics and religion out of their marketing mix unless they’re selling something specific to a partisan group. For me, it’s more important to build a business relationship based on mutual respect and a client’s needs rather than starting from some sort of “old boys’ club” premise that [...]

Your spokesperson must be passionate or funny or eloquent or all three to represent your brand well. Now, take each speaking engagement to the next level using social media. Here [...]

Just wanted to thank you for your time and insight today. Being new to the social media world, your coaching session really clarified what Twitter is and more importantly, how to leverage its power to build my business. Prior to meeting with you, I was "tweeting" without really knowing what...
