Creating a Webinar on Social Media Basics

Collaborating with others to create a finished product can be fraught with peril. Or, if you are fortunate like me, it can be a joyous experience. A couple of months ago, Paula Adelman, Founder of BoomerSurf, proposed that we collaborate on creating a webinar to help Baby Boomers and those older than boomers to better understand social media. She wanted to offer a webinar as part of the launch of her BoomerSurf business and she knew that I specialize in tutoring and training Boomers to be more effective in their use of social media. It was a match made in [...]

Gain Confidence and Skills with Toastmasters

Do you want to be more confident? Would you like to improve your communication and leadership skills? If the answer to either of these questions is “Yes,” then I strongly suggest that you join a Toastmasters club. These clubs are available all over the world, and you can find the ones closest to you at www.toastmastersinternational.org.   The mission of a Toastmasters club is to “provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.” I have been a member of Toastmasters for nearly 20 [...]

Getting Too Much Info on Facebook?

Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the status updates you receive on Facebook? If so, you’re not alone. Many of the members of my Facebook for Beginners class at Colorado Free University complain about this problem, as do lots of other folks I know.   There are many possible for getting too many updates: maybe you have a lot of Facebook friends, maybe a few of your Facebook friends post continuously, and/or maybe you receive a lot of posts from business pages you have liked or from members of the Facebook groups you have joined. No matter the reason, there [...]

Use Social Media to Mentor Others

Do you mentor others through social media? There are countless ways to use social media to mentor others. And just as when you mentor people in real life, you end up benefiting just as much, if not more, as the person being mentored.   Not long after I got active on LinkedIn, I happened to read a discussion posted in the Toastmasters International LinkedIn group by a fellow named Raj. He was looking for some guidance on a specialized speaking project, and no one in his club had ever done that type of project, which involved interpersonal communication. His request [...]

Showcase Yourself in Your LinkedIn Profile Headline

How does your LinkedIn profile headline represent you? When I review a client’s LinkedIn profile in order to make suggestions for improving it, one of the first places I start is with their profile headline, which, if you are not sure what I am referring to, is found just below their name. Too often, people simply use the default headline, which is the title of their current position and the company name. In the case of business owners, it is often something like founder or owner or whatever they call themselves, plus the name of their company. This is not [...]

Learning Curves and Social Media

Change is often difficult. Yet, without change, we don’t merely stagnate, we get left behind. So many of my clients come to me because they don’t want to be left behind. Their professional colleagues talk about making great connections through LinkedIn. Their friends get and stay in touch with their family and friends through Facebook. And all kinds of people are using Twitter to stay up-to-date on current events Yet, sometimes my clients resist getting involved in social media because it feels like just one more thing to do, one more thing to learn, one more they don’t have time [...]

Be a Go-Giver on Social Media

Are you a Go-Giver? So many of us, especially in the business world, have been rewarded for being go-getters, yet, the truly generous people, the Go-Givers, are often the most successful. This point is driven home very eloquently and practically in the classic book The Go-Giver: A Little Story about a Powerful Business Idea, by Bob Burg and John D. Mann and first published in 2007. What makes this book so appealing is its simplicity. Written in the format of a fable, with tales of business people illuminating each of the five main principles or “laws”: The law of value [...]

Free Ways for Nonprofits to Use Facebook

More and more nonprofits are using social media – from Facebook to Twitter to YouTube and more. With Facebook so popular among adults now, including those over 50, many of your greatest fans and donors are on Facebook. . While a Facebook business page offers a lot of potential exposure, it also has some downsides, one of which is that less than 10% (some say that number is as low as 3-5%) of those who like a business page will actually see the posts made on that page. So, what’s a nonprofit with a possibly limited marketing budget to do? [...]

LinkedIn is Much More Than an Electronic Rolodex

Too many people think of LinkedIn as simply a site where they craft an attractive profile of themselves and then wait for people to find them and contact them. LinkedIn is not just an electronic rolodex – it’s a powerful site for business professionals.   Beyond the Profile – Five Ways of Using LinkedIn Use the Advanced People Search feature. Click on the word “Advanced”, located to the right of the search box. Enter a key word, a location (if appropriate), the name of your current and most recent past employer, the industry you work in, and whatever else seems [...]

Successful Self-Employment Tips at an Un-Job Fair

One of my favorite events of the year is the Un-Job Fair, sponsored by the Colorado Free University and held at their facility in east Denver on a Saturday in late May. Entrepreneurs come from all over the greater Denver metro area to discover ways to enhance their self-employment success. Space doesn’t permit me to elaborate on what I learned from each presenter this year, so I have highlighted some of the tips from three: Tamara Kleinberg, Brad Friedman, and Deborah Flomberg.   Tamara Kleinberg: Founder of The Shuuk, a Testing Ground for Cool New Ideas Give yourself permission to [...]
