LinkedIn 101 Rotary Club in Denver

Last night I had the pleasure or presenting a brief introduction to LinkedIn to a group of Rotary members. Debra Fine, author of the bestselling book The Fine Art of Small Talk, asked me to present to the members of her chapter at their informal gathering. After watching a video on her website, I see that social media is actually not so different from her suggestions on how to engage people through small talk. Through LinkedIn and all social networks, it's  all about having a conversation with your connections, friends or followers. Her advice: show that you are listening - also great for social media.

Thanks so much, Rotary members, for having me at your meeting. Oh and my brother will be so proud that I spoke to you as he has been a member with perfect attendance of the Rotary Club in Laredo, Texas for almost 30 years.
