Listen To Me Talk… Fun, eh?

// April 7th, 2009 // life, Technology

So, it started a few weeks back when I got to spend the morning with some elementary kids telling them about interactive media and marketing. Of course, the kind of computer I had and if it played cool games was way more important to a fifth grader. It seems I’ve graduated and will be on a panel this week for the CRBJ’s Power Breakfast series and then presenting to the Charleston Chamber’s Area Business Council the following week. I’m looking forward to both of these and sharing thoughts from interactive marketing and social media. If you know me, then you know, that I want you to know all about social media and how it can enhance your life and business.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a little bit nervous. I’m not from the typical business/corporate world that most of these attendees will be used to. I’ve only worked in an office and for someone else (directly) for a year and a half. However, I’ve been doing “it” my way for many years which has paid off and has lead to some great opportunities including being featured on Wired.com in their small business program.

Outside of the box thinking has always been a part of who I am. How can we do things better? How can we manage interactive/social media better? How can we do it more affordable? These question came up many times because I had ideas and projects that I didn’t have funding to pursue. I had to figure it out on my own and have since been able to refine my thoughts and processes that have led to consulting, teaching and leading others in a new way of thinking.

Here’s my question to you… if you were/are wanting to learn more about social media what are you most wanting to understand? What outlets or practices are you unsure about? Are there any specific question you’d want addressed if you came to sit in on a social media “talk”?
