I’m A Panelist at The Niche Mommy Conference!

by

I’ve been sitting on a bit of news! Last week, I was selected to be on a special panel at The Niche Mommy Conference currently taking place in New Orleans. The panel is called Moms Matter in 2012: Discussing the 2012 Election. As someone who does discuss politics from time to time on my social networks (and as a fangirl of Michelle Obama, which has been showcased many times on my blog), I felt that I had a lot of lend in this area.

I will be a panelist with several other moms, some who discuss politics on their websites and others who shy away from it. The goal of our session is to bring attention to the next election and the importance of our voices as a collective unit expressing our needs, no matter what political side we happen to be on. The session is being moderated by Lindsay Ferrier and Cafe Mom, which will be recording video of the session for their website.

Political affiliation and the presidential election can be sticky topic to discuss on any platform, and I know a lot of my colleagues don’t like to blog about the current political climate. This will be a dynamic and interesting session discussing all sides, and I feel very proud be a part of it.

The panel will take place on Saturday, and I am hoping I will be able to bring you pictures and tid-bits from the discussion, and furnish you with a link to the video when it is live!

The INC Yourself Workshop Was Amazing!

by

Wow. That’s pretty much all I can say about the INC Yourself Workshop that I co-spoke at tonight at St. Louis Community College William J. Harrison Building.

It was a great turnout and the crowd was amazing. And my co-speakers? Fabulous!

I will be sharing more with you in the next few days from this evening’s event, including video and pictures. But right now, I wanted to thank the St. Louis Comptroller’s office (Robin and Sean) for inviting me to speak. It was a pleasure!

 

Rewind: My Appearance on KPLR 11 Noon News with Christine Buck

by

On June 13th, I had the pleasure of being invited to discuss social media and with KPLR Channel 11 noon news anchor Christine Buck. We talked about everything from how I started my blog, TheCubicleChick.com in my home, to juggling work, life, and play, to the social media conference I founded called Show Me the Blog, which will be held for its third year later in 2012.

It was an honor to be a guest on the program, and I enjoyed chatting about the world according to The Cubicle Chick.

I’m Speaking: INC Yourself, July 19th

by

It’s no secret that I love social media. I also love teaching others about social media so that they can use it to their advantage in whatever business or endeavor that they are working on. I will be speaking about the wonderfulness that is social media at St. Louis Comptroller’s Office’s workshop series and community initiative entitled ‘INC Yourself’ at St. Louis Community College on Thursday, July 19th from 5-7pm. The event will be held at STLCC’s William Harrison Education Center .

INC Yourself is a program created by St. Louis Comptroller Darlene Green’s office to help energize and motivate local entrepreneurs. A lot of people want to start their own businesses but don’t have the tools to do so. INC Yourself is built of empowering people who want to go from working for someone else to creating their own businesses and income. I will be co-teaching the seminar with Business Coach Sandra Marks of Marks & Associates, who encourages people to take their passions and create a business.

The workshop is free, but you have to register in order to participate. To enroll, call 314-984-7777.

I will be on hand during the event to tell my story of how I have used social media to build the “empire” that is The Cubicle Chick.

I hope to see you there!
