Be Mindful: the message to take away. Take a look.

Nadia and Dan Greenfield met up to discuss some examples of youtube videos from major company leaders. Even they might want to be a little more mindful of how widespread a video can become when posted on Youtube. The traditional rules of Public Relations experts (Dan Greenfield) still apply in the age of new media and Nadia is here to help with how to keep yourself confident and able to deliver your intended message.
Take a look. It’s a message you’ll want to keep with you.

Hey! thanks Deborah! and everyone, become obsessed with LinkedIn

Linked in. It’s great for showing off all of those recomendations that people so generously give out. It’s also great for keeping the discussions going in between networking events. You get 9 questions per month under the free account at set-up so use them. Ask away. And go into the discussions area and read away. Help others by commenting. It’s absolutely a wonderful tool.

And see these kind words from Deborah Jensen, a participant at a recent seminar I gave. I’m so glad she found my message so useful. Stay in touch everyone, I love hearing your feedback. The Site: www.nadiaspeaks.com ; Twitter: @nadiabilchik

Not only was the seminar hands on and informative, it also was handled in a very non-threatening manner that encouraged even the shy amongst us to shine. Nadia builds confidence while teaching, and I have used this new knowledge to great effect. Definitely a 10!!!”

Nadia grabbed Jan Rattia for some tips on networking

Jan Rattia is the Manager of Corporate Learning at Atlanta’s Emory University. He’s happily employed yet still attends networking events. But why?
He says it’s because we MUST stay current; and he’s right!
Your career is always evolving and networking should be something that you enjoy. If you are genuinely interested in what’s going on out there you’ll do wonderfully. Always remember to be yourself. “It’s what you’re best at” as Jan tells us.
Along with your real life networking, it’s nice to mix in the virtual social networking aspect like blogging, micro blogging and sites such as Linked In.

Nadia chats it up with an aspiring journalist at Friday’s Greater Impact event

Lauren Gilray flew down to Atlanta from New York to attend Friday’s Greater Impact event. It was a great time, so many great people in attendance. We thought we’d let you listen in on the conversation.

Tips on video blogging – tube yourself

Media Training in the YouTube Age Tip 1:
Ask Yourself, Who is my audience, what do I want them thinking, feeling and doing as a result of this communication

Media Training in YouTube Age Tip 2:
Hook your audience, by asking a compelling question, something that provokes thought and personalizes your message.

Media Training in YouTube Age Tip 3:
If you are talking directly to your audience, make calm, direct eye contact with the camera, dont let your eyes flicker, left, right up or down.

Media Training in YouTube Age Tip 4:
Have vocal energy, humming is a great way of placing your voice forward and sounding resonant and relaxed.

Media Training in YouTube Age Tip 5:
Look like your are enjoying yourself, a sense of ease and comfort translates well on camera. Check out my relaxation and voice exs on YouTube.

Nadia sat down with Dan Greenfield of Bernaise Source Media to discuss YouTube and the ins and outs of creating videos for your brand

The currency that IS networking

When I moved to Atlanta 12 years ago, I knew no one, it was a real challenge to persuade and influence potential employers to hire me. I had some success and many failures. It was when I learned to unleash the power of my presence, that the successes outweighed the failures.

So, how do you do it?

Firstly you need to exude a level of positive energy, you really do need to “let success vibrate within you!”
People are attracted to people who look like they have their lives together.
Also you have to overcome FEAR!
Remember, “courage is not the absence of fear, it is taking actiond despite the fear!”

You also have to be not only INTERESTED in others, something we have all heard a million times!…..but INTERESTING! What have you read lately, what interesting book can you tell us about. Cultivate your ability to be a fabulous story teller! Succint, and with a point.

Relax: Remeber the less you need something, the more power you have!!

Engage: Verbally and Non Verbally with a level of excitement, energy and enthusiasm.

I spoke with Julene Williams of the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association at the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta:

Coming UP……Unleash The Power Of Your Presence…..when you face the media or give a presentation!

Are people really listening to what you have to say?

stay tuned! the elevator pitch is next!

No. 1 Women’s Detective Agency

null

 

My new favorite show. Set in Botswana, you can watch it on HBO. Jill Scott plays an African woman who ambitiously sets out to create a detective agency. Such an endearing and inspiring show. I can only hope a site such as hulu.com will pick up the episodes for the international audience and those who don’t get HBO. Watch and see what I mean. And after have your say! Vote in our poll.
