After taking the Summer off we will jump back in for the school year with a new series of Whole Brain Group Social Media classes in September! 

Meeting Dates:

• Wednesday, September 15: 9am - 12pm (LinkedIn)
• Wednesday, September 22 : 9am - 12pm (Facebook)

It's easy to set up accounts on LinkedIn, and Facebook, but sometimes hard to know what to do with them!  You may have been to an overview session where you learned "everything you need to know about social media" in a 60 minute session with 50 other people, and then left frustrated and overwhelmed.  Or maybe you felt empowered, went and set up your accounts and then waited for the business to pour in, only to hear crickets chirping....

Why this Social Media Workshop has Whole Brain Goodness

It's important to understand how social media fits into your overall strategy and goals as a professional or business owner, and it's really helpful to do this in a group environment where you can talk through your plans and get feedback from others who are struggling with the same issues.  When it's a group that's facilitated by people with expertise to get your accounts configured properly, understand the tools well enough to help you define an appropriate strategy, it's even better.  And when you meet for 2 weeks in a row for three hours with the same people, you've got a winning combination!  

You will walk away knowing how to:

• Speak the lingo of the top three social media tools (LinkedIn and Facebook)
• Choose and use those tools to help you grow or sustain your business
• Set measurable and reasonable goals for social media usage
• Establish healthy habits for making progress toward these goals
• Learn in a fun and collegial small group atmosphere where you won't feel stupid asking questions!
• Following through on your plan with practice, practice, practice!!

This is a hands-on class (bring your laptop!), so you'll also have:

• A complete LinkedIn Profile, with connections and recommendations from colleagues
• A company page on LinkedIn with a link to your company website, a listing of your employees on LinkedIn, and a feed from your company blog (if you have one)
• A Facebook account with lists of business and personal contacts to keep your information separate.

*Some people ask: Is this a part of my website package? No but this would be helpful to get your social media setup for your company and to learn the groove of maintaining Social Media.*

Prerequisite:  Bring a laptop with wireless internet connectivity.
