You had a lot of great information to share, including ways for people to utilize social media to enhance their personal brand. I think one of the best points you made, however, was the importance of getting out from behind the computer, meeting with people in-person, and building those relationships. And I agree with your point above about the value of serving as a professional volunteer for a nonprofit organization or charitable cause. There are so many groups here in the Valley that can benefit from communicators offering to volunteer. For IABC Phoenix members, the chapter offers numerous opportunities to get involved and either showcase areas of expertise or build skills in a new area -- Another great opportunity to extend your personal brand. I always enjoy hearing what you have to share, and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. I look forward to keeping in touch via Twitter and hope to see you in-person again sometime soon. Joe,

You made excellent points about using social media and presented them clearly and concisely. I wonder if others are like me, though, and need help creating the brand/persona. I'm a baby boomer w varied work and volunteer experience, and newly unemployed. I have an array of skills/interests/talents/traits, but I'm not sure which to emphasize and which actually might work against me. I suspect there are others in my situation. BTW, I keep getting an error message (404) when I try to submit the survey. Thanks for asking! Amy Hi Joe,

Thanks for asking!
