President's Message
Pamela Judd
I use the "Career Chutzpah" C.A.S.H. formula in everything I
do. What is Career Chutzpah? It combines
confidence with a big vision through four simple steps - Create, Author, Speak,
and Help Connect. Together in 2009-2010
it's been inspiring to see our Chapter:
Create
We envisioned the foundation and infra-structure to keep
growing and glowing through our redesigned website and motivated Board team.
Author
Our new e-newsletter has been an exciting opportunity to
share, swap, and showcase our collective expertise.
Speak
Our guest speakers this year raised the bar. Chapter programs were caring, sharing, and
energizing experiences.
Help Connect
As we transition to a 2010-2011 leadership
team, we invite you to join us on this journey to take the Chapter to the next
level as confident visionaries.
It's been a privilege to serve
this year as your President. I can't
wait to experience "Chapter Chutzpah" next year!
Sincerely,
Pamela
Judd

Keeping Up with Social Media
Trends, Uses and
Strategies
Bonnie Halpern
The explosion of
social media has dramatically changed the way we communicate and live our
personal and professional lives. Those of us who want to understand this new world are
faced with mountains of information that drive us to ask, "Where do I begin?" A
critical starting point is to sign up for and use social networks such as
LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. This step alone will not go far
enough in helping you use social media to reach your professional and life
goals. Here are some resources to help you learn about new media
and stay current.
Classroom Training* NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies offers a full range of courses on digital media marketing. These
courses can be taken individually or as part of a certificate program
Workshops and Webinars* APT New York- Workshop on 4/21/2010 presented
by Nancy Shenker, CEO of www.theONSwitch.com- "Social Media: What do I Do
with all This "Stuff". See www.aptnyc.org under "Events".
* Carmina Perez, social media
marketing consultant, conducts reasonably priced workshops in Manhattan on
Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogging and building websites for business.
* The Support Center for Non-Profit Management has a ½ day course: Introduction to Social
Media. The cost is scaled to the sponsoring organization's budget.
E-Newsletters
* SmartBrief on Social Media is a valuable summary of the most important news and insights on the business
of social media with links to the original sources. Free and sent daily via
email.
Blogs* Here are the top 6 marketing blogs selected
by the Marketing Executives Networking Group for 2010. They contain many posts
on Social Media and have links to other blogs and websites. Seth Godin,
Mashable, Chris Brogan, Guy Kawasaki - How to Change the World, Tom Peters and John Jantsch - Duct Tape Marketing.
Books* Browse
Amazon for "How To" books. Read the
reviews and make sure those publication dates are recent. For a step-by-step guide, look at
"Facebbook Marketing for Dummies" by Paul Dunay and Richard Krueger and other books in the "Dummies" series. Bonnie Halpern, VP
Website for APT-NYC, is a marketing consultant who develops
online and offline programs for financial institutions. She spent most of
her career at Citibank, MasterCard and American Express. She facilitates an introductory course
on the MBTI® which focuses on functioning of diverse types in the corporate

My Favorite Things
Values Assessment Resources
Kathleen Murphy
At a recent chapter meeting, the subject of Values Assessment came up. Here are a couple of good resources I have used.
1- The SkillsOne site has a Level A assessment on Work/Life Values. The
client takes the assessment on line, and a report is generated in similar
fashion to what happens on the MBTI®. The assessment consists of looking
at 19 values, and prioritizing them in categories such as Very Important,
Important, Somewhat Important, Not Important. You can only place up to 5
values in each category, so the assessment forces you to choose. It is
very thought provoking and a great opportunity to decide what is REALLY
important. The assessment is used separately for Work and Life - there
may be a value that is Important for Work, but Very Important for Life.
2- CareerTrainer.com is a good source of a Career Values Card Sort, which
operates under the same premise as the above-referenced tool, except there are
5 categories: Always Values, Often Valued, Sometimes Valued, Seldom
Values, Never Valued. There are 54 cards in the deck, and the person
choosing their important values cannot have more than a certain number in each
category. There is a Value Worksheet that may be purchased separately which is a good tool to use with the cards.
3- A different type of resource I have often used when I review the MBTI® with my
clients is a book called "Looking at Type". This book depicts the different
types in actual pictures, which are food references to help clarify the
different characteristics of each type. It has brought a lot of clarity to the
process for my clients.
Kathleen Murphy has been a career coach since 2006
after 25 years managing people in the commercial property management
industry. She is a member of the International Coach Federation, and a qualified user of the MBTI® and The Strong Interest Inventory. Visit www.kathleenamurphy.com. |
Bon Voyage to a Board Member
A Conversation with Lee McDonald
Camille
Rinato
Lee McDonald, our current VP Membership and an ENTJ, will be leaving our board and moving to London. I recently interviewed her to learn a bit more about her and her experience with our chapter.
* Lee, please
tell us about your time here. I have
been living in NY for four years. This
has been a HUGE learning experience having changed careers since moving here. The discovery has not just been about New
York, America, and my studies, but also about self, growth, and strengths.
*What about your experience with APTNYC? The growth in membership was most
rewarding! I enjoyed the board
meetings, hearing and contributing ideas, and helping shape the year. Our first event was a social networking
night and was "my baby." I was nervous
about the evening, but it was a success!
Everyone was friendly; members and guests shared lots of energy and excitement. Walking home, I felt absolute relief! The board had put their trust in me and I
really wanted it to work. I hope this
event gets repeated. People can
reconnect at the beginning of the year and regroup as a community.
*Tell us a little about your career. I
bridge different types of people - feeling types, business types, and different
generations - helping one type understand the other. I help managers understand and get the most from the wealth of
assets on the team and within themselves.
