Flexitimers attending IIA Congress

Flexitimers are attending the IIA Congress tomorrow in Dublin. There's an excellent line-up of speakers including representatives from Realex Payments, dotMobi, Google and Facebook.

I'm also involved in one of the break-out sessions where, along with my colleagues from the IIA Social Media Working Group, we'll be running a workshop entitled 'Establishing a Social Media Strategy in 45 mins' so if you're looking for a hands-on whistle stop tour of blogging, tweeting and general social networking well this is the 45 minutes for you. Hope to see you there.

Recently Redundant and looking for answers?

Flexitimers are attending a half-day seminar today for managers/professionals impacted by recent down-sizing and redundancies and impending career challenges in 2009. The Starting Today seminar was organised by Joan Mulvihill, who was recently made redundant from a senior management position at BDO Simpson Xavier. Joan hopes this seminar will answer two types of questions facing people in a similar position - the macro life-affirming stuff and the nitty gritty details of moving forward. There's an impressive line up of speakers, networking opportunities and tips for anyone. Worth a visit and I'll update you on any tips and tricks I gleam from it. Well done Joan Mulvihill.

Meeting with one of Ireland's ambassadors for social media

We had a meeting with Krishna De yesterday to get advice on our blog, social marketing and general online activities. I have to say she's very impressive. I met her during the summer as she's also a member of the Irish Internet Association's Social Media Working Group and then more recently at this years Podcamp Ireland un-conference in Kilkenny which she organised. To me she is the ultimate Flexitimer - a career and CV enviable to even the noblest HR and marketing professionals. Now she's out on her own evangelising social media and helping hundreds of companies and not-for=profit organisations to just get out there blogging, tweeting and whatever it takes to join the conversation. I took a picture to add to this post and when and if I find the flex that connects my phone to the laptop, I'll upload it. So thank you Krishna for your time and excellent counsel. Talk to you soon.
