September 2010 Professional Development Meeting
 Leveraging LinkedIn for Business Purposes presented by: Anne Pryor, Meaningful Connections
In this session, Anne Pryor, will share techniques, tips and strategies to help you determine your LinkedIn Strategy for business development, finding experts, developing vendor and partner relationships, and show you how you can be found on LinkedIn as an expert in your field.
Bonus-Pre-dinner Program:
Managing Your Own Personal Brand
presented by: Kathleen Crandall, Meaningful Connections
You communicate a message about your personal brand every day, whether you intentionally manage it or not. It is communicated on your LinkedIn page and other social networking sites, in your email, in what you say and don't say, in your behavior, and in how you show up. Managing Your Personal Brand will help you get to the heart of your authentic brand and learn how to leverage it when communicating your strengths, what you are known for and good at (or aspire to be!) and what you desire in networking, business development and job search.

THE UN-COMFORT ZONE with Robert Wilson
 The Buck Starts Here
Recently I participated in a Murder Mystery weekend at a bed and breakfast lodge. Every guest was a given a role to play. There were eight suspects; each of whom had one or more of the following: Means, Opportunity and Motive. Having the Means and Opportunity was very important, but having the right Motivation was the key to solving the puzzle. We interviewed the suspects, collected clues, then presented who we thought was the killer and why.
