Last week was an amazing confluence of inspiration and education...here's what happened for The Link!
Janet Lee Johnson (http://www.janetleejohnson.com/; twitter: @janetleejohnson) was our featured speaker this month, discussing the topic of "Social Media". We all need to become savvy to this new approach to marketing as well as connecting! Every business needs to add some aspect of social media to their marketing strategy!! The Link has started to Twitter and Blog to get the word out about what we do and why we do it!
25% of the 75 attendees sent evaluations...reflecting a very interested group!! The comments reminded me of the story of Goldie Locks and the 3 Bears...some thought it was "too light", some "too heavy" but most thought it was "just right"! Here are some comments...
Went right home and linked myself in!
Good speaker, interesting topic.
I loved the evening. Janet's presentation was engaging and informative and without question increased my knowledge base. Additionally, it was a pleasure to share ideas with this group of interesting and talented women.
Janet Lee Johnson's presentation was great, as were the questions and her responses to them. Social media is a hot topic and I thought she did a great job of covering it, especially considering the amount of material and the diversity of audience experience.
I felt less material and more live hands-on on-screen would have been helpful for this audience. People wanted to know what is it like and what's involved, and showing can help a lot with that.
I really enjoyed Janet's presentation - filled with great information and very timely for me. Based on her recommendation, I set up my Twitter account this morning!
This was a great event, it was my first to attend and I am looking forward to coming to the next one! I enjoyed the topic, Janet is an excellent presenter.
Janet was warm, knowledgeable, professional. Great choice and well prepared. Being a heavy social media user/coach myself, I might have structured the content differently for such a newbie audience - or specifically held different beginner/pro sessions. Rather hard to be everything to everyone - a wide gamut represented.
I couldn’t stop yawning. This was much too much information all at once and the level was not catered to anyone brand new to the social media/website game! I thought this was going to be a bit more baby-steps...
I was hoping for more meat, rather than an overview.
There was a bit of a problem with the volume in the adjacent room with Bingo night. We will definitely choose a different location for Tuesday night events!
Don't miss Doug Mendenhall's seminar on May 29 on "Risk Takers vs. Risk Talkers". Click Here for more info!
Had a great meeting with Sandy McDonough and Pam Knowles of the Portland Business Alliance (http://www.portlandalliance.com/). These 2 ladies are leading the charge in the Portland business community and we are exploring ways to create a synergy with The Link. Pam is running for school board and would bring her legal expertise and business savvy to our ailing school system. Sandy has been a mentor for A Seat at the Table and a member of The Link's community for many years. Great Girls!
On the Non Profit front...
A special thank you to Patrick Stickle and the staff at The Oregonian for supporting all girls by sponsoring Girls Inc.'s (http://www.girlsincnworegon.org/) Women of Honor. The ad ran on May 17th listing all of the women that were honored through donations commemorating women that have made a difference in our lives...The Oregonian rocks!
Also spent time at The Casey supporting OHSU Women's Center for Health, another favorite of The Link! Plan to attend the Nordstrom Designer Preview benefit on July 9! Always a blast!!! Click here to learn more!
