For those of you who are members of The Kettering Executive Network (an executive networking group here in Atlanta), I will be delivering a presentation entitled “Business Blogging: Leveraging Web 2.0 to Extend Your Personal Brand”.

I will provide an overview of business blogging, and share you some solid strategies for taking advantage of blogging to further build your executive brand.

I will be presenting on Friday, February 17th, 2006, at 10:00am. The meeting will be held in Suite 700 of the Seibel Systems building at 1 Glenlake Parkway.

If you are not a member of Kettering, but would like to have the presentation delivered for your organization, by all means, let me know.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Cheers.
