Desiree talks about how she engaged her audience of over 50,000 followers on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc. This is NOT an introductory class to these tools but a class on how to communicate and engage on a daily basis. There is definitely an art to writing in less than 140 characters across all of these methods which will help professionals gain new clients and keep them engaged for years. This talk will get people charged about engagement and not see it as a time-consuming effort. It should be fun for all involved.
