There are several ways you can demonstrate your services during your presentations. For example, if you are a business coach, you could demonstrate coaching someone.

Develop your speeches and training materials so that you can easily mix and match [...]

Consider Teaching Classes at Colorado Free University

I encourage my Denver-area readers to consider teaching classes at Colorado Free University (CFU).

Since then, I’ve taken a wide range of classes and had excellent experiences each time. In December 2012, I earned an online marketing and social media certificate from CFU. Nine months later I started to teach some of the classes [...]

Take Your Speaking to the Next Level by Joining Toastmasters

Boost Denver Rocks!

Recently I had the privilege of sharing my “Showcase Yourself on LinkedIn” presentation with Boost Denver – Actionable Education for Passionate Enterprises. Over 20 members learned about ways to optimize the headline, summary, and experience sections of a LinkedIn profile. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had as a social media trainer. My favorite part of the morning was when each participant shared what action they were going to take with their LinkedIn profile based on the tips that I had shared. Talk about powerful feedback!   History and Background of Boost Denver Dru Shockley, CEO and Founder [...]
