Giving Away Your Best Stuff is Good for You and Your Business

I truly believe that giving away your best stuff is good for you and your business. On the face of it, giving away your best stuff may not make sense. Yet, sharing valuable information and ideas for free pays off in the end. Many of us have been reflecting on how we can be of service to others during the COVID-19 era. We can each give of ourselves in countless ways, and it’s important to find the ways that fit you. Seeing so many people losing their jobs and business owners struggling, I decided to give back by helping job [...]

A Toastmaster Tribute to Amal Al-Saffar

Recently I helped to recognize and pay a Toastmaster tribute to Amal Al-Saffar, a member of Excelsior Advanced Toastmasters. Amal joined our club last fall and quickly captured our hearts.

Improve Your Communication and Leadership Skills

I encourage you to improve your communication and leadership skills. Most people join Toastmasters to improve their public speaking skills. They might need to give better presentations at work, or they may be doing a lot of speaking to help market their business. Perhaps they need to build their confidence, both professionally and personally. Research has shown that public speaking is most people’s greatest fear. Therefore, they join Toastmasters to conquer that fear and be more successful in life.

Use Social Media to Support Local Businesses

There are many ways to use social media to support local businesses, who need extra PR these days. Have you been primarily based in your home since mid-March as I have been? Think of ways you can promote local businesses you haven’t been able to use in the last two months. It occurs me that social media is a terrific tool for that. Examples that come to mind for me are my chiropractor, hairdresser, acupuncturist, and massage therapist. Who are some folks you are looking forward to seeing?   How I Promoted My Chiropractor, Dr. Jake Hasse Fortunately, my local [...]

Participating in the 10-Day Mom Challenge on Facebook

If you are a mom, you might be participating in the 10-day mom challenge on Facebook, as I am. A friend of mine from church recently nominated me for the challenge, which was certainly an honor. Yet, immediately the project felt a bit daunting. Before I continue with my experience, let me explain how this challenge works. If you are nominated for the 10-day mom challenge, you being asked to post 10 different photos over 10 consecutive days - one photo each day. The photos you choose need to relate to you as a mom.

How is Facebook’s Timeline Working For You?

If you were like me, you probably held back signing up for the Timeline format of Facebook until you saw enough other friends on Facebook converting to it.  I finally switched over to it shortly before the date that Facebook said they were switching everyone over to it. Once I got more comfortable with the Timeline format, I didn’t really mind it, just as I have adapted  (sometimes grudgingly) to all the other changes on Facebook.  The way I figure it, Facebook provides me at no charge a very nifty way to stay in touch with people I care about.

Being a Newbie

Being a Newbie Starting this blog as the Boomers’ Social Media Tutor has forced me to learn a lot. Sure, I can write, but the rest of the process has frankly been rather intimidating. Each night I promise myself I will actually figure out the logistics of the posting process. Then I find something else to do instead. Something I know how to do, like cruise around on Facebook or work a crossword puzzle. Being that my role as a social media tutor is helping the newbies to Facebook and LinkedIn (and other social media sites once I figure them [...]

Watershed Moments

What are your watershed moments? I am referring to those moments in time in which you realized that after that moment your life would never be the same. For me, three moments come to mind. Curiously - all occurred in December. The first moment happened in December 1980, for that’s when gave birth to my older daughter Anne. All through my 20s I had resisted having children. And finally at age 31 I was ready to take the plunge into parenting. Once my daughter was born, I realized how much being a mom meant to me, and how glad I [...]
