Yesterday I shared with you 10 Insightful Social Media Quotes from Smart CEOs, which were reflective of the social media conversation that we had at our most recent CEO Connection event in New York City. I mentioned that as the organization’s Chief Relationship Officer, I have the opportunity to meet with small, intimate groups of these executives five times a year in […]
Leadership Chat is coming up on its one-year anniversary, and in this time Steve Woodruff and I have yet to tackle the topic of Leading Virtual Teams. Well, we’re rectifying this tomorrow night as we host a very special guest: MarketingProfs Chief Content Officer and Co-Author of “Content Rules,” Ann Handley. That’s Ann on the far left […]
