I have the opportunity to speak at LeaderFest a regional for young professionals sponsored by the Fox Citied Chamber of Commerce and the Pulse Young professional network. www.foxcitiesyoungprofessionals.com
I am so excited to co-speak with Jess Dennis from Red Shoes PR on the topic How to be a Killer Social Media Advocate for your Company. I’m excited about this topic and its one that I’m passionate about. Many businesses are scared to embrace social media. I came from a culture that was 100% scared of the tools. I look forward to help inspire the next generation of leaders to do great things with social media.
So I get the latest edition of the Green bay Chamber magazine, Bay business Journal and there’s the title “30 Local Companies earn top-dog status. Insights on the top 30 privately owned brown county employers. Skimming through the article I see some well-known Green Bay companies… Wal-mart? Georgia Pacific and RR Donnelley? Seriously Local? What the…?!?!?!?!?! Something does not add up? What’s going on there? Please help me.
Tommy talks openly to the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce and how we can take their organization to 2010 and beyond. The chamber really need to focus on the building of new members. Now all members can be million dollar companies. its great to see the ones that are, but what about the little guys? For the chamber to move forward, it needs to reinvent itself and retool for the future. it needs to think outside the box and spread its offerings to those business who can not afford the chambers services, in the present form.
I want to help the chamber grow. I want to help drive more business and help others… put me to work!!
Yesterday I attended the Fox Cities Chamber of commerce Face Booth 2010 business to business expo. I was working in the HC Miller booth all morning to mid afternoon showing other local business our technological fare. So great to meet new people. After my shift int eh booth was over, I was able to browse around and see what other had to offer. I MET THE BEST PEOPLE!!! Just the best. I met Patty and Joy from the Chamber, I met folks from the Fox Cities magazine. I met my new best reporter friend in the whole world, Maureen from the Post-Crescent. I think the highlight was to be taken aside by Kathy at the chamber and she asked me some hard questions — I answered and she listened. SHE ACTUALLY LISTENED!!!
How many people in this world take the time to listen? I’m stunned and I can’t wait to listen to her needs and help
Below are some of my presentations and video speaking engagements that I have been involved in. I try to keep it up to date
