Miriam Salpeter, me, Chris Brogan, and Stephanie Frost

Finally.

I met Chris Brogan.

!!!

And you know what?

He’s the real deal.

You know how sometimes people get all built up and then you meet them and see them speak and you’re all WTF.

I’m not saying that’s what I expected, but I have to tell you…the moment Chris got on stage and started speaking I was reeled in.

He’s direct, witty, engaging, and SMART.

Some of the key points that I took away from his presentation yesterday:

  • Always confront the things you’re afraid of head on… as he puts the backnoise up on screen behind him…
  • The problem w/negative: Negative doesn’t tell you how to fix it.
  • Social media for customer service is the Holy Grail.
  • Companies! Why social media? Because your competitors are.
  • Don’t collect business cards like it’s pokemon. You live or die by your database.
  • Give your ideas “handles” so they can then be carried forward by others.
  • How go get more Twitter followers [that matter]: listen, ask, reciprocate, comment, comment back.
  • Interns managing your social media? NO. You should have an $80,000 to $100,000+  person doing your social media. It’s that important as your repuation is on the line.
  • Are you known for connecting people to other people? Reciprocal karma.
  • Blogging is your foundation to everything you do online.
  • Get people to link to you site by creating meaningful content then convert into sales.

What was most impressive to me is that he not only hung out at the conference and talked to people all day long, he went to the after-party!

Chris Brogan is a class act and I really hope you get to meet him someday if you haven’t already.

Additional highlights of the day…

I got to spend time with some of my favorite people including Miriam Salpeter, Stephanie Frost, Marna Friedman, TarynP, Chad Rothschild, Robyn Cobb, Marisa Sharpe, Stone Payton, Todd Schnick, Jenny DeVaughn, Sandra Spiller, Bert Dumars, Shannon Russo, and Victoria Dunmire. I also met several very cool new people that I look forward to getting to know, including Jeff Turner.

I had a fun lunch at the historic Silver Skillet with Marisa, Miriam, Stone, and Todd.

After Chris spoke Stone, Todd and I headed over to the Fox Sports Grill at Atlantic Station to take a break and strategize on plans for their upcoming world tour.

After that we went to the after-party [which was really, really great!] at Ten Pin Alley and then a fun dinner with friends at Rosa Mexicano.

It was a fabulous day!

And for me, a great end to a not so great week.

And finally, Todd and I filmed Volume 5 of He Said, She Said! Watch for that in a separate post later today.

He Said, She Said — Volume 5 | Social Media Events

by Stephanie A. Lloyd on September 26, 2009 · 5 comments

in He Said She Said,Media,Networking,Social Media,Tweetups,Video blogging

Yesterday we filmed Volume 5 at the New Media Atlanta | Social Media Business event at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.

It was Todd’s turn to ask the question which entered around reasons for attending social media events such as New Media Atlanta.

Oh and by the way because we are so transparent authentic crazy we didn’t edit these videos like we he normally would, so enjoy… ;-)

What do you get out of social media conferences and other such networking events…what do you think is the best reason to make the investment?

DREAM JOB RADIO

The Only On-Air Job Coaching Experience

What are you doing to set yourself apart from other candidates in this highly competitive job market? Local entrepreneur and experienced recruiter Stephanie A. Lloyd of Radiant Veracity presents Dream Job Radio – the first radio program featuring live, on-air job search coaching for job seekers.

Dream Job Radio features several active job seekers from metro Atlanta and other parts of the U.S.  Each show, which highlights two to three candidates per week, broadcasts live via the Internet on Atlanta Business RadioX.

Each participant in Lloyd’s one-hour broadcast session pays for a job search coaching session, which includes targeted job search advice, resume critiques, interview tips, personal branding guidance and the development of a succinct personal Bring It! Pitch. Guests also have the chance to ask Lloyd, who has more than 15 years of corporate recruiting and executive search experience, specific questions on how to improve their job search.

Additionally, Dream Job Radio participants receive:

  • On-air exposure during the segment.
  • Web exposure on DreamJobRadio.com and RadiantVeracity.com, as well as numerous social media outlets including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and the possibility to featured in one of Lloyd’s Careers + Workplace articles on Examiner.
  • A digital copy of the show’s full audio segment to be used for self-promotion in numerous channels such as blogs, online portfolios, personal Web sites and LinkedIn profiles.
  • A digital download of their individual Bring It! Pitch to be used in self-promotion and the job search.
  • The possibility to be chosen to receive company-specific guidance from a surprise guest – a hiring manager and/or executive from a company in which the candidate has expressed interest.

“When I first imagined Dream Job Radio, I envisioned a live job coaching environment that focused solely on the job seeker – taking my typical coaching sessions to an all-new level,” said Lloyd. “Dream Job Radio provides an interactive experience where participants can hone their job search techniques while reaching an audience of top business professionals.”

However, Lloyd’s guidance is not limited to the show’s participants. Her real-world advice will also be beneficial to a worldwide audience of job seekers, and Dream Job Radio is an ideal platform for hiring managers and recruiters to seek enthusiastic candidates.

Dream Job Radio airs each Wednesday from 1 – 2 p.m. on Atlanta Business RadioX beginning Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Free podcasts of each episode will be available for download on Apple’s iTunes store. For more information, or to find out how to become a guest on the show, contact us here.
