I-Me vs. We

Stop the madness!

It's all about relationship building. As always, I'd love for you to share these episodes and subscribe so you always get a notice when a new one drops.

Why speaking is so important, especially for women with guest, Bobbie Carlton

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2488708/fan_mail/new] This week, Pam is joined by Bobbie Carlton of Innovation Women. Learn all about why Bobbie considers Innovation Women including Speaker Friend Fridays is indeed her Dream Job. Key takeaways this week – Getting more women on stages presenting at conferences and programs. Matches have been made between women and conference stages in the 1000’s but the needle still isn’t moving from 1/3 women vs 2/3 men. If you are event organizer – please invite new people to speak each year. And, women need to do a better job bringing other women into the mix.  Sadly, ½ of event organizers don’t have a speaker budget for speaking or expenses. The episode includes some really good tips if you are trying to get on stage, or if you have secured a space and now have to advertise it in the conference information. You can turn into a great speaker, listen to Bobbie share how to start. And so much more… Welcome to Communication is an Art with your host, Pam Lippitt of Pamela Lippitt Communications, LLC.

When Meeting Chairs and Leaders Don't Lead

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2488708/fan_mail/new] This week's episode is a little different than others. I usually start by sharing my take on good leadership. I put the episode that was meant to be for this week on pause until next week to share a horrible meeting with you. When leaders don't lead, when they don't set the tone and expectations what they get is an angry mess. Learn from others. Toward the end of the 10 minutes, I'll share what I would have done and what I do when I know there is going to be upset people in a meeting. I'd love to hear what you think. I also want to share that I am kicking off a Small Business Marketing Summit on Thursday, April 23rd. I'll be talking all about setting expectations when networking. There are 12 speakers over 4 hours. We are not selling, we are sharing our favorite tips. Want to learn more?
