More details to come, but I have some exciting news…
I had the pleasure to team up with Robyn Cobb and Jenny DeVaughn to submit a panel for South by Southwest Interactive in March 2011.
Pleased to report that our submission has been accepted to the next level…the panel picker process! This is where the community, people like you, can go to the SXSW website and vote for the panels you want to see in Austin next spring.
Excited that ours has made the cut!
I will write a bunch more about our topic, but our proposed submission focuses on how to shine a light on others, and in so doing, strengthening YOUR personal brand.
We talk a lot on this website about serving others, and I wrote this just last week on the Dreamland site. But serving first, selling last is a great way to go to market.
1. Sharing the work of others.
2. Offering support and assistance without expecting anything in return.
3. Making referrals.
4. Serving your competition (and thus not having any)…
5. Helping solve problems in your community.
6. Connecting people joyously.
7. Using your social web presence to engage, not sell.
8. Teaching others what you’ve learned…sharing best practices.
9. Making the world a better place by using your network to share and support the good works of others.
10. Giving credit where it is due. As in, many thanks to Robyn Cobb for spearheading this effort!
These are just some of things we will talk about, and will blog about over the coming weeks. And we will give you details about how you can support our panel submission.
Thanks for your support! And thanks again Robyn!
