Thanks very much to the crew at RBC for the chats and the wonderful suggestions for better chat programs as they evolved. We have been hosting Monday night chats (9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific) since December and it seems enough for our group to only ...

How do you introduce yourself to people you meet in business?
Is this the elevator pitch or conversation over a nice glass of cab and dinner! I'm going for the dinner conversation ;-)!!

I'm the founder of Talent Synchronicity and at the core of my work is a deep passion to develop talent solutions through strategic alignment with business directives. I weave together technology, social media, branding, P & L experience, and alignment with business strategies to create intrinsic value.

I'm also executive director for The Future of Talent, which is a community of talent leaders who come together to design guiding forecasts and strategies in the areas of talent acquisition, branding, knowledge management, employee development, and leadership.

I'm also committed to my yoga practice and exploring how to integrate aspects of yogic philosophy into the business world as a means of furthering community, collaboration and innovation in the workplace.

Talent Talk would be great Susan, and we're in no hurry (unless your membership is), so April would work just fine. I'll await your guidance and look forward to hearing from you soon. Take care, Mark

Hi Susan - Hope all is well! Your group message on the OpenMic reminded me to reach out to you all. Is there interest among the membership to discuss JobAngels and what we're trying to accomplish? If so, I'd be happy to run a chat session and promote it as well. Let me know as I'm getting a lot of media inquiries but want to ensure you guys don't get lost in all the chaos. Best, Mark
