Social Media for Our Professional Lives

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Kathleen King of Transformation Education LLC since 2006 when we met at the Online International Podcasting Expo.  Kathy had just started The Teacher’s Podcast with co-host Mark Gura and I was in my first year of podcasting with Views from the Coop, a tech podcast aimed at non-tekkies.  That online meeting led to more online meetings and before we knew it, we were co-producing and co-hosting Transformation Education LIVE on Blog Talk Radio. What started as a podcast focused on the transformation occurring in education due to technology has evolved into a podcast about the transformation technology has made in our business and personal lives, too. We’ve talked about everything from the WII to meeting the love of your life in a chatroom.

Just before Thanksgiving of 2009, Kathy and I recorded our first face-to-face podcast about online relationships in San Antonio, Texas where she was speaking to a group of educators about podcasting at the Acoustical Society of America convention .  She invited me to be her videographer and I jumped at the chance to finally meet her in person.

I invite you to listen to our latest podcast about using social media in a professional setting. You can also read the show notes on the Transformation Education site where the podcast is also available.  If you’ve been wondering how social media can impact your business, we can tell you!

Although a newcomer to the outdoor industry, Paige Eissinger is no stranger to the outdoors. She lives with her husband, Richard, on 113 acres of beautifully wooded property overlooking the Big Dry Fork Creek in central Missouri. Populated with deer, turkeys and other wild game, Sunnyside Farm is an ideal hunting spot for Paige and Richard.

Owner since 2000 of 2 Smart Chix LLC, a one-woman web and multimedia design firm, Paige is the web administrator for The WOMA web site and author of Tech Talk, a regular column on the site. Her background is in the technology field as a web site designer, blogger and podcaster. She hopes to bring a taste of technology to the many women (and men) who not only enjoy the outdoors but want to stay up-to-date on the latest tips, tricks and tools the Internet offers for their business and personal technology needs.
