Put Your Best Foot Forward
Your LinkedIn profile is one of the first things people will see about you when they type in your name online, often times showing up before your website or firm bio. 

Don't believe me?  Or curious to see if it's true?  Stop here and do a little
Public Relations test. 

Google name search
Go to google and type in your name. What pops up?  For about 9 out of 10 of you, assuming you don't have a common name, and do have a LinkedIn profile, your LinkedIn profile will show up on page 1. 

So now that we've found you, what are you telling people about you and your company?  Are you putting your best foot forward?  Are you enticing your audience and setting the right tone for your sales, recruitment, community relations, and government affairs initiatives?

Contact MCM for more information on how our one-to-one consultations and group trainings, can help you with your branding, business development and recruitment needs.

Fountain Headshot Greetings!

There's a certain synergy that happens when people "join" together, whether it be networking at an event, performing on stage, as part of a project team, casting a group vote, coming together as a community, etc.  As you're establishing your involvements and initiatives for the New Year, we wanted to give you a few ideas for how to capture and be a part of that powerful group effect. 

See below for upcoming events including tomorrow's Slow Food SF's Golden Glass Event, President Obama's Reception on February 16th, an interview with Narada Michael Walden, and association links. 

Please join!

Coming to the Table: Slow Food SF, Golden Glass Event: This Saturday, February 4th from 1-5 PM 
Doing things the "slow" way is like treating yourself to a mini-vacation.   Come experience how these local and international wineries, artisan food purveyors, and restaurants are focused on developing quality products, bringing people together to share indulgent experiences, understanding how terroir nuances create taste distinctions, and the use of best practices.  These labors of love are coming to us just in time for Valentines' Day.

Creative Collaboration: Music Education and the Narada Michael Walden Foundation   
Musicians have the distinct gift of being able to connect with their audience and other performers in a way that lifts the energy level in a room, evokes emotion, channels creativity, and sets the tone.

 

After experiencing Narada Michael Walden's concerts for his foundation, in support of music education, MCM decided to interview this world-renown music producer to find out more about how he's able to create collaboration and bring magic to all that he touches.
