Weighing In On Social Media

Per my previous post, I took in a 6-week Social Media class…not really sure how it’d work for me.

But now…I’m a believer! . Since beginning the program, I’ve gained many contacts, have had conversations with potential clients and even gained the opportunity to interview several people not previously in my circle of influence. Amazing!

What I’m even happier about is that it was relatively painless, needing only a few minutes per day to implement the recommended strategies.

Bonus: On last week’s call, our “guest host” was Brian Ahearn http://influence-people-brian.blogspot.com, who’s one of only 2 dozen people who are certified to teach Robert Cialdini’s “Principles of Persuasion” workshop. In terms of useful information as well as confirmation of being on target with various principles…excellent.

Another aha moment during this course was that although I’d read “How To Win Friends And Influence People” years ago, it warrants a re-read every now and again. Our experiences and perspectives shift and grow, thus leading to greater insights on the human condition upon revisiting the book.

All in all, it’s great! I’m totally sold on the power of the “pure” form of social media and how it works for the common good. Win-win.

More to follow in a later post.

Warmly,
