June 11, 2009Got a radio gig from twitter. http://acloserlookradio.com/ So that’s what my social media coach @phylliskhare was talking about.

Filed under: Success Story by merylrunion |

I’m new to social media and struggle with the way it eats time. So I need to learn to focus and keep it all in balance. My coach Phyllis has been wonderful at nudging me without pushing me past a manageable pace. I believe from her enthusiasm that it will be a very useful part of my business.

But now I believe it a bit more from experience. I saw that Pam Atherton was doing a show on intergenerational communication, and I messaged her to tell her that I provide intergenerational communication training for the army, and I have lots of insights and tales to tell from that.

And she invited me on the show.

It’s a start. And it shows that social media isn’t just a bunch of people pitching to and preaching to each other. There are some real connections to be made.
