The incredibly lovely and incredibly wise Justine Atkinson from Melcrum has just finished putting the final flourishes to the two-day workshops I am presenting in the fair cities of Melbourne and Sydney later this year.

Blogs

Podcasts
- Explore ways of creating more personalised communications with audio
Online video
- YouTube, vidcasts, intranet videos
- How to set up, record, edit and engage your audience with videos
Social networking
- Connect your employees on a global scale
- Implications and opportunities for intranets
Other social media tools and how to use them
- RSS, wikis, the 3-D web, instant messaging and more
Social media and your corporate strategy
- What could work for your organisation?
- Work through scenarios and examples to help assess your company’s cultural readiness for social media tools
- Work through a framework for creating a social media strategy to support your corporate communication strategy – take home a draft strategy for YOUR company
Blimey! Who WOULDN’T want to be a part of this!
And in case you think it might be a bit of a dull affair, here’s what just some of the attendees to my Melcrum half-day Social Media workshop in Sydney recently said:
“Lee was very entertaining and knowledgeable. He demystified social media for me and he made me feel it IS possible.”
Kerry Sternbeck, Communications Manager, Australia Post“His enthusiasm is infectious - exciting stuff!”
Marnie Pettifer, Strategy and Communications, AIG Life“Excellent. A really fascinating insight from an engaging speaker.”
Michael Moore, Senior Manager Corporate Affairs, Bristol Myers Squibb“A very difficult topic but it was explained in a fantastically simple way.”
Michael Cockburn, Senior Stakeholder & Communications Manager, VicRoads“
There’s even a video of what we might be sharing about…
Melbourne folks: I’ll be there 16th & 17th October
Sydney folks: I’ll be there 23rd & 24th October
Book now to avoid the rush!

2. This blog runs the WP-Cache plugin, which reduces the amount of processing our host's server has to perform on this blog. The result for you is that our site crashes less. The downside is that sometimes it might take a minute or two for your comment to appear. Please don't resubmit your comment if it doesn't appear straight away. Please be patient and try refreshing your browser after a minute or two... Thanks, Lee
