Thanks to Michelle Kaye at Battelle and Battelle, who brought me in today to speak about networking, social media, blogs, networking, and the emerging web to a number of her fellow employees as well as some of the employees of McGohan Brabender. Originally the event was going to be held at Battelle and Battelle, but because of the large number of people who signed up, it was moved down the street to McGohan Brabender.  I was thrilled that so many would show up to hear me speak.
My presentation revolved around the concept of using the web to connect with others and to create and develop, as Tom Peters would call it, Brand You. In addition to discussing some general concepts, I spoke specifically about tools like Twitter, Squidoo, WordPress, and LinkedIn – discussing how these tools could be used in conjunction with traditional items like hand written thank you notes and face to face meetings to connect with the world.  We live in a truly amazing time. Never before have individuals been so empowered to learn, share, and grow both personally and professionally. I appreciate being given the opportunity to share the little that I know with others. It was my pleasure, and I hope that those who took the time to listen to me enjoyed my presentation.  Thanks for your hospitality.
