THE best experience of my life!

I love being a dad. Every now and then, my youngest son goes into his closet and puts on his tiny white collared dress shirt. He calls it his "social media shirt - just like Daddy's"

Yup.

I published my book - Twitter for Skeptics - in April 2013 - to tell the world about Twitter and what a powerful Opportunity Engine it is.

Do you know the secret to business success on Social Media? If you don't know the secret, you've been missing out.

I work with businesses to help them uncover and implement the "Secret to Social Media Success!"

As a professional social media speaker, consultant, author, and editor of a major industry blog, I've heard every objection in the book about why organizations are still skeptical about social media. In fact, I WROTE the book on it - "Twitter for Skeptics"!

Gladly, I've also had the opportunity to interview and discover how some of the biggest brands in the world, (like NASA, Ford, and Raytheon Systems, to name a few!) have overcome their objections 
to social media and embraced it as an opportunity engine that generates business results for their organizations.

 I bring this knowledge and expertise to my presentations - while customizing the content to make it relevant to the audience for which I'm speaking.

Contact me through the most effective communication tool since the invention of the telephone (*Hint: @donpower) and I'll let you in on the secret - or check out my new book - Twitter for Skeptics at http://TwitterForSkeptics.com

Cheers!
