Social Media Basics: New Webinars Announced

Tagged socialmedia , training , webinar

Six weeks of lessons in social media basics.

Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.

Benjamin: Yes, sir.

Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?

Benjamin: Yes, I am.

Mr. McGuire: Plastics.

Benjamin: Just how do you mean that, sir?

The Graduate

Every time I mention my new series of webinars, that is the scene that goes through my head. At every high school and college graduation, my father will walk up to the graduate and say "Plastics."

Given that it is 2009 and not 1967, the new one word is "webinar" and that is what I'm pleased to announce today. I've schedule to six-week classes and will be scheduling more. The first two that I'm announcing are Social Media Basics for Journalists and Social Media Basics for Jewish Professionals.

Each class will meet once a week for six weeks and follow the same basic curriculum. The difference is that the examples will be geared to the specific industries and I hope to bring in some guest speakers for each series as well.

Early bird registration for each class is $120, regular registration is $150 and there is an institutional rate of $1200 for groups of 8 or more.

Why work with me? According to client Eric Benderoff, former technology columnist for the Chicago Tribune, "Leah's program was thorough, thoughtful and far more useful than I anticipated. Even though I was familiar with some of the content by virtue of my tech beat, Leah put a fresh spin on how to use and tap into the power of social media. I've used many of the techniques she showed me, impressing many people in the process. I consider Leah my social media tutor."

Please let me know if you have questions or if you have an industry you'd like to see me host a series for, I'm open and ready to schedule.

UPDATE: Due to scheduling conflicts, the class for journalists has been canceled. If you are interested in a one on one lesson, please contact me and we'll set up a session.
