Speaking Season Begins

January 27th, 2010 | Shonali Burke | 0 Comments

I didn’t think this would happen so quickly, but my 2010 speaking “season” has kicked off.

So – here’s where I’ll be over the next few months, adding new dates as we go along. Do let me know if you’ll be anywhere that I am, so that we can say “hello” to each other (and if you can join a webinar or teleseminar, I’ll be delighted).

By the way, if you’re interested in measurement, tomorrow I’m doing a webinar for PRSA Tampa Bay that reprises my turn at PRSA’s 2009 International Conference. You can register until 11 a.m. EST tomorrow, I believe.

Because of their efforts in building a vibrant, thriving community, WGB has received so many accolades, it’s a little mind-boggling: one of Forbes’ 20 best marketing and social media blogs by women, to name just one, not to mention Jill herself being listed by Forbes as one of 30 women entrepreneurs to follow on Twitter (and whatever your opinion about Twitter lists, you have to admit that’s a pretty cool one to be on).

Fyi, Shonali Burke Consulting still lives
