I’m excited to launch a breakfast training series here in Boulder with three of the smartest people I know in Colorado, a series we’re calling Stay Sharp! My co-conspirators are Liz Ryan, Joyce Colson and Jeff Finkelstein and we’re offering the series of workshops to help you, our fellow Coloradoans, gain the skills and expertise you need in the modern business world to make your business a success and get the job you want.
This Friday, Sept 18, I’m going to be talking all about Twitter and in case you haven’t attended any of my workshops before, you’ll get a sense of the mood of the workshop when you learn that the title is actually “Twitter? What the heck is Twitter and why should I, as a businessperson, care?”
Our venue of choice is the yummy Eggcredible Cafe at 5397 South Boulder Road and I might even steal a few bites of something while I’m talking and showing people exactly what is so darn interesting about Twitter and also some of its weaknesses and some of the ways that it’s growing faster than is perhaps beneficial to us online folk.
On Sept 25 the Stay Sharp! program features web and marketing expert Jeff Finkelstein
who will be talking about Search Engine Optimization: What Really Matters to Search Engines. I’ll be there for that one too!
