My Google Profile+

Backgrounder: In 2011 I was fortunate to attend many conferences on the subject of Social Media, something that I continue to do as I expand my knowledge, meet new friends, and get inspired. I feel that these conferences provide such value, that I felt it was important to bring an event like the ones I had attended to Montreal. With the sponsors, my social media community, as well as the the kind permission of Jeff Pulver (founder of #140 Conferences Worldwide) , I Produced #140conf Montreal May 15th, 2012.

This is a picture of Deborah Weinstein and me on stage at #140MTL, I was so honored to have her speak, she has been a huge role model for me. Her talk on Social Media Crisis Management and PR was exceptional! I am more honored now to be able to call her a dear good friend!

In an environment where many businesses are afraid to take the risk, I feel it is important to provide access to information about technology that helps businesses provide open environments for the employees, increased communication amd superior service to their clients. My mission is to help others see the value, shed some light on the possibilities, create new bridges, new relationships and spark great ideas for business owners and professionals.

I share stories and ideas here, on my blog, with you. I am a business person, I believe in relationships, I have seen some amazing things using Social Media, and I believe this is something to share.

On this blog I discuss leadership, social business, employee engagement, customer service and various topics. I hope you will join me and all my good friends in conversation, thats what social media is all about. You can also like me on Facebook by clicking here, to keep up with me there!

I am a contributing author to  Social Media Today, Business 2 Community, 12 Most , Grow, The Online SafeHouse,  and Winning at the Insurance Gamble.

I am also honored to have been featured in: “The Mila Araujo School of Commenting” on Geoff Livingston’s Blog,  Alexandra Levit‘s Water Cooler Wisdom, in the article “4 Reasons Why Social Media Use = Great Customer Service”  (originally published on Intuit’s Quickbase blog), and in the interview Five Questions on ILSTV.com.
