Facebook Groups – Why Start One?

Facebook groups - what's the value of starting one? That is a question I’ve asked myself often during my years of working in social media. I’ve participated in a range of Facebook groups. Like anything else on social media, some have been more valuable than others. Recently, I decided to create a Facebook group that ties in with my new Meetup group: Simplify Your Social Media. At the first Meetup, someone asked if we could form a Facebook group. They pointed out that having one would provide a way for us to communicate between our monthly gatherings. So, to help [...]

Meetup Groups: The What, How and Why

This blog post: Meetup Groups: the what, how and why addresses many aspects of Meetup groups. Many people attend Meetup groups, yet they don’t really know how Meetup works.   What is Meetup and How Did It Get Started? According to Meetup’s Facebook business page: “Meetup is the world's largest network of self-organized clubs and community groups. We make it easy for anyone to organize their own local group, or find one of the thousands already meeting face-to-face.” Scott Heiferman, Matt Meeker, and Brendan McGovern launched Meetup in June 2002 in New York City. They created Meetup after seeing the [...]

Simplify Your Social Media Meetup Group

I created Simplify Your Social Media Meetup Group to help make things easier for business people using social media. If you live in the Denver area, I’d love to have you join us!

You will see that I ask you to answer three questions before I approve your request to join. I did this to [...]

How to Decide Whether to Connect on Social Media

Do you struggle with the question of how to decide whether to connect on social media? Many of my clients pose this question to me. The answer, as is often the case, is “it depends.” It depends on how you use the site, your natural networking style, your line of work, your gut instincts, and more. Whether you are doing the reaching out or responding to a connection request, here are some things to consider.   How You Use a Social Site Let’s say you mainly use the social site for personal matters. Then it probably makes sense to keep [...]

LinkedIn Work Experience Updates – Make Public or Not?

What are your thoughts on the question of LinkedIn profile updates – make them public or not? Many of my clients tell me that they don’t want their connections to see the changes they’re making in their profile. There are plenty of reasons not to let your connections see these changes. Then again, there can be value in letting your connections know when you make an update to your profile. Typically, I don’t make my profile updates public. However, recently I added a volunteer leadership role in my Toastmasters club to my profile. For several reasons, I decided to allow [...]

An Entrepreneurial Renaissance: Connecting 4 Generations of Entrepreneurs

Would you like to be part of an entrepreneurial renaissance connecting four generations of entrepreneurs? If so, consider joining the movement inspired by 4GenNow. This movement is gaining momentum around this country, as well as in other parts of the world. On November 17, I had the privilege of being one of nearly 200 people attending their first-ever Power Partners Summit.

Want to Be Braver? Join Toastmasters!

  Most people would like to be braver both in person and on social media. If you are one of those people, I highly recommend that you join a local Toastmasters club. “The mission of a Toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral communications and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.” (from the Toastmasters’ website) Webster’s defines brave as “possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance.” I believe that having more self-confidence helps people be braver. The concepts are closely [...]

Voices in Aging – an Awesome Experience

This weekend-long event, held November 3-5, 2017, and officially called Voices in Aging: The Business of Aging had an enormous impact on me. By intermingling thought-provoking keynotes with dynamic interactive sessions, this event challenged me intellectually. It also brought out both the team player and the leader within me, and it encouraged me to foster deep connections with others. It even brought me to tears at times. Sponsored by The Society of Certified Senior Advisors (SCSA), who began planning for it over a year ago, it was indeed an awesome experience. I am so grateful to Judy Rough, Senior Director [...]

How to Engage People on LinkedIn

Are you wondering how to engage people on LinkedIn? Too many people think of social media as one-way communication. Remember the “social” in social media and look for ways to engage people on LinkedIn and other social sites. The point of LinkedIn is to help people in the business world connect with each other. This means that you should spend at least some of your time liking, commenting on and possibly sharing the information that others post on it. Find a good balance between sharing valuable information posted by others and sharing your own posts. How to Effectively Engage on [...]
