Speaking

Speaking, or rather, interacting with a live group of people is one thing I do love to do. Suffice to say I am pretty passionate about the topics I get asked to speak on so I’m usually a bit bummed out when it all comes to an end each time. Fortunately with social media many connections are usually made during these interactive sessions – an approach which I am often singing the benefits of.
My topics usually center around where social media meets business meets the power of community. Here are a few of my recent past speaking engagements mixed in with some future ones on the horizon.

Upcoming Speaking Engagements:
One of the amazing things about conferences is getting together face-to-face with so many online friends. It truly shows the power of social media in creating meaningful and truly rewarding friendships. Here are just a few of the many photos captured of these great reunions.
I’ve also recently tried experimenting with Prezi as a new way of displaying information while speaking. It’s a pretty neat new Web 2.0 app so you may want to check it out for yourself.
Here are some of the upcoming speaking engagements in 2010:

Another amazing benefit of connecting via social media is the opportunity to get feedback on how you did as a speaker. Here are a few tweets from my most recent keynote in Toronto. Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts.
