Speaking on:

I’m asked to speak at conferences, universities, businesses, and various events on different topics.  Below are a few of the topics I cover, and some of the bullet points I often focus on.

The Power of LinkedIn-

There are thousands of social media experts and speakers out there.  However, there are only a select few I would recommend when speaking at your conference (Chris Brogan, Jason Falls, Amber Naslund, Gary Vaynerchuk, ond a few others) as they are much more qualified than I am to speak about the overall strategies for using social media to engage with new customers and grow your business.  Be sure to pick one of them on that topic if you really want to wow your audience.

Although there are many great speakers on social media, no one is more qualified to speak about LinkedIn, the most powerful business network online today.

With over $109,000 as the average household income per user on LinkedIn (a far greater average over Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, and other popular social networking sites) and close to 45% of its members being business decision makers (where as 25%-29% are business decision makers on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace) LinkedIn is really the #1 social networking site you need to be focusing your time and energy on to grow your business.

I’m confident to state that there is no one more experienced or qualified to show you how to do the following on LinkedIn:

• Generate More Leads
• Generate More Sales
• Drive Traffic To Your Website
• Find investors
• Control Your Personal Brand
• Find Your Dream Job
• Find Freelancing Gigs
• Find The Right Employees
• Build Your Database
• Get free PR
• Become a thought leader

Sports Networking, Sports and Social Media

I’m known for starting SportsNetworker, a site the covers the top sports and social media, marketing, sponsorship, PR, and sports sales best practices (with a heavy focus on how social media impacts the sports industry).

I also created one of the largest sports industry networks online in less than two years (over 25,000 sports executives from around the world).  I am the founder of the Sports Executive Association, and used to play professional football.

Many conference and Universities like when I talk about:

• How to build your network in the sports industry
• How to connect with the top sports executives
• How to launch and build your personal brand in sports
• How to get a job in sports
• How sports teams, agencies, and companies can utilize social media to grow their business
• Sorts and social media best practices and trends
• and all that other good stuff regarding networking, personal branding, and social media in sports

Again if you would be interested in having me speak on any of these topics (or others) feel free to contact me for more information.
