Teaching Twice at GA {Adult} Summer Camp

General Assembly Atlanta is kicking off their {Adult} Summer Camp this week, and I’m honored and excited to be leading two classes during this fun week of digital learning.
Wednesday evening from 7-9PM, I’ll be leading Pitch Camp. I just recently wrote about what we’ve learned from nearly 2 years and over 500 pitches at Pitch Practice every Friday, so this Wednesday evening we’ll be digging deep into each of these lessons. There are so many different aspects of pitching for your brand – corporate or personal – and we will spend a good amount of time working through various types and lengths of pitches. Everything from this 2 hour seminar is something you can immediately apply to your business, whatever stage you may be in.
Thursday afternoon from 1-4PM is “How to Measure Social Media ROI“, which is the basis for this blog post. This seminar is a great class for those who are working in social media and need to gain a solid understanding of the costs of social media and how to attribute revenue to social media activities. With the advent and continuous improvement and focus on social selling, it’s very important to understand how social media plays in the marketing funnel, and that’s where we will be spending most of our time.
I hope to see many of you on Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon for Pitch Camp and How to Measure Social Media ROI, along with some of the other classes that GA Atlanta has going on this week at Summer Camp.

  • What’s the Best Professional Advice You’ve Ever Received?

    What is the single best piece of professional career advice you have ever received? Here’s mine. Long long ago in a galaxy far far away (Atlanta, 1994), I was working for a startup now known as A.D.A.M. Health. My boss was Cary Chandler. I was fresh out of MBA school, and knew exactly nothing about…

  • Wanna Stay Young?

    Do Hard Things. When I was young, I wanted a life of comfort. I worked hard so I could relax, do nothing, and be comfortable. Somewhere along the line, that changed to wanting to be UNcomfortable. My great Aunt Romie died at 96. My wife’s great Aunt Miriam died at 103. Both had the same…

  • WFH for Govt?

    WFH applied to govt workers as well because of hashtag#covid. Our Federal (and local & state) governments own massive amounts of CRE. We have recently learned that fewer than 10% (it’s more like 1-2%) of civil servants report to an office. That’s great for them, right? Yeah, good for them if they can get the…

  • New Grads: WFH or RTO?

    My daughter just got her first “big girl job” (her words), and the job is a hybrid position. Her new employer has a plan for how to engage brand new college grads as hybrid or remote employees. * She is spending 2 weeks on site in training, learning the job and the systems, tools, and…

  • What are you thankful for today?

    Me:– My God & creator, who has blessed me with this life and all its ups and downs to get me to exactly where I am today– My Proverbs 31 wife of 31+ years, who works part-time and runs her own custom cookie business (https://lnkd.in/ejWS3SGE)– My special needs son, who is excelling in his job,…

  • “Be a life long learner”

    How many times have you heard that advice? Me, too. But how do you do that? I’m sure I’m not alone when I resist learning something because there’s no purpose in my learning it other than to learn it. I need to have a “why” behind learning something brand new. So, when I think I…

  • Search + Rescue

    This past weekend, I joined 21 of my fellow Georgia State Defense Force volunteer soldiers at Camp Merrill for Search And Rescue Specialist II (SARII) training. We slept in tents, enjoying the 36° nights and 70° sunny days in the north Georgia Mountains. We learned. We embraced the suck. We became friends, and leaned on…

  • Amazon Mandates RTO

    Yesterday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy held a meeting to discuss the pending return to office mandate at Amazon. A summary of his defense of the mandate: “This was not a cost play for us. This is very much about our culture and strengthening our culture.” As expected, the response is coming in hot. Now go…

  • Customer Discovery vs. Focus Groups

      During the first night of the Digital Marketing (#DGM4) class at General Assembly Tuesday night, we went down a number of really great rabbit trails. I encourage such Q&A because it really adds to the class and enables us to apply learning to the students’ actual jobs today. One of those quick sessions resulted from a…
