This past Thursday,\u00a0I\u00a0delivered\u00a0my \u00a0workshop on using social media and blogs to build your brand and professional profile at the Pennsylvania Governor’s\u00a0Conference For Women<\/a>. I was honored — pleased — amazed — gratified — excited by the reception given to the workshop, both at the event and afterward.<\/p>\n

\"Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

Quite simply, it reminded me why I love what I do for a living.<\/p>\n

The 500 or so \u00a0women in the audience were very engaged. \u00a0I had about 6 or 8 questions at the end, and I’m sure there would have been more had I not gotten “the hook” from my timekeeper, because \u00a0I was mobbed at the podium at the end. The best part was afterward, though, when folks stopped me in the exhibit hall or came to my book signing to talk more about the topic or get my advice on a more personal level.<\/p>\n

And my book! I don’t know how many copies of Professional Blogging For Dummies<\/em><\/strong> the conference bookstore had on hand, but I do know that the Pennsylvania ladies wiped it out. My book was sold out by 2pm.<\/p>\n

What do I do for a living? \u00a0I help:<\/p>\n
