This past Wednesday I spoke at the Northern Kentucky Career Achievement Network (CAN) to a group of over 50 people, giving a workshop entitled “Activate Your Super Powers: The Social Media Utility Belt“.  Below are the slides from my talk.

This coming Wednesday, January 27, 2010, I will be giving a free workshop as part of the Northern Kentucky One Stop‘s Career Achievement Network (CAN) monthly series.  The title of the session is “Activate Your Super Powers: The Social Media Utility Belt”.  Sign up here.

Some basic themes we’ll probably cover: (more…)

This week has been rather tiring, but I admit, it’s been exhilarating at the same time. Here’s an opportunity for me to “come up for air” somewhat, and provide a recap, highlighting some milestones and other media-related items. (more…)

Today I will be on a panel at the University of Cincinnati as part of the Broadcast Educators Association (BEA) conference, talking about The Future of Local News.  Others on the panel with me are Brennan Donnellan, Hagit Limor, Elissa Sonnenberg.

Here is an excerpt from the event description I received:

Ten years ago, there were two strong local newspapers that competed on both sides of the Ohio River with Cincinnati and Kentucky editions of The Post and The Enquirer . A joint-operating agreement between the Gannett-owned and Scripps-owned newspapers dissolved in 2007 and The Cincinnati Post ceased publication. Meanwhile, four network-affiliated television stations continue to local news with the Fox affiliated WXIX-TV recently adding a local newscast. Yet, WXIX-19 news’ additional newscast now must compete with hyperlocal content produced by Web sites such as AroundAnderson.com. Meanwhile a growing community of social media enthusiasts show up each month for meetings of the group, New Media Cincinnati, which is less than two years old. It’s a new day in local news and the future is bright for those who are forward-looking. The symposium will bring together those from the old and new media along with one who crosses both. The goal of this symposium is to arm broadcast educators with a 2009 perspective on what it means to do LOCAL NEWS and to gauge what that might look like in the next two to three years for the new broadcast journalists heading into the industry.

It looks to be an interesting time.

Earlier this summer I got an opportunity to talk to a group of people in the Cincinnati Social Media community about the How I Got My Job project for one of their Open Mic Nights. If you’re not part of the LinkedIn group, and you’re into social media in the Greater Cincinnati area, you should join.

It was an interesting time for me, because

1. I had recently been laid off the month before
2. I was running Kevin Dugan’s UStream channel for those who were unable to attend and to create an archive of the individual speakers’ talks.

Below is the UStream video of my talk, followed by the slides I used, so that you, too, can follow along.
