(WAL) Today myself and DK are visiting Bridgend College to work with the Entrepreneurial Champions on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government. These champions aim to promote entrepreneurship to their students across Wales. Once empowered, we hope they will go on to enable others to steer their motivation in the most effective, communicative and financially lucrative way possible.
(IRL) Yesterday myself and DK had a short notice phone call to step into another speaking gig for Vistage UK. Like excited little bunnies (or at least me, because this is my first trip to the Emerald Isle) we packed and fled the country like a pair of high tailing bandito’s.

(WORLD) This is quite fun.
Social media is like the classic Swiss Army Knife—can be used in so many ways.
Here are the top ten search terms :
I know we've done nearly all of these and over time I'm wondering how this will change?
Will more generic things start to appear like 'plan a wedding', 'buy a car', 'find a man/woman' etc.
What do you think?
(WORLD) Social Media For Suits provides personalised mentoring for CEOs and senior executives.
We launch with a pedigree having already completed three packages during our top secret gigs these past few months.
Check out the testimonials below from CompTIA UK, Glasgow Grows Audience and The Working Knowledge Group:
Developed as a response to some discussions we’ve had recently with our clients plus the observations that they were very few suits attending our training / services, this is our shot at aiming higher up the chain of command; to enable those on the coalface to have the support and understanding of the people who sign their paychecks, set their workplans and budget spends etc.
Please help us to dissmeinate this first-of-its-kind (anywhere, we think) and a brand new separate but equally complimentary big-sister company to the services on offer at MediaSnackers. Many thanks in advance.
(GBR) Serving up another juicy half-day social-media-taster for a group of CEOs on behalf of Vistage International this morning in Putney.
DK and Mark helped us today to understand what social media is all about and showed us in a very practical way how we could use it. The 'new normal' for all our businesses requires us to consider and implement more person to person communication in our marketing mix.

(WORLD) There's only one week left (less really) to read for FREE our little publication Zen And The Heart Of Social Media—come 1st March 2010 you will only be able to taste selected chapters and you'll have to purchase either the book or pdf to get the full meal.
On Twitter please hashtag all things ‘Zen And The Heart Of Social Media’ with #zathosm.
(GBR) Chuffed to be speaking at the fourth seminar in the (deep breath) 'Rethinking Youth Cultures in the Age of Global Media' series (no website), here at Open University, Milton Keynes.
The morning session will be on 'New directions in youth culture research', delivered by PhD students, the afternoon session is focussed on 'Youth as a consumer market' in which I'll be presenting.
DK gave a polished, engaging, multi-media presentation about youth and social media for our research seminar series "Rethinking Youth Cultures in the Age of Global Media" (funded by the Economic and Social Research Council). Those attending—a mix of established academics and newer researchers in the field of youth culture, and people from national youth organisations—found it fascinating and thought-provoking, and DK gave us some clear issues to take our discussions forward.

(GBR) We’re in Windsor delivering another half-day social media taster for a group of CEO’s on behalf of Vistage International.
An important aspect of Speaker sessions/workshops at Vistage meetings is helping our (CEO) members to be aware and abreast of the many developments and changes in the world of business, through technology. This awareness is vital to their having a competitive advantage.
MediaSnackers, in their presentation to one of my CEO groups in February 2010, amply fulfilled that objective and fully engaged the participants.

I personally have found it an invaluable experience and would highly recommend them as motivators, trainers and consultants within the social media arena. Their outlook and take on things has been fantastic and they certainly make you think outside the box and push your boundaries.
