One Step Ahead 2 – Chapter presentation – Part 3/3

 

During the following week to the speech, I wanted to get some feedback.

I checked my chapter LinkedIn group, I not only posted a survey also, I sent more than 400 personal messages thru LinkedIn, and I get some amazing answers.

Today, more than one month after the presentation

• Less than 10% of LinkedIn group members attended the presentation. Most comments were:
  • Can’t attend to an event during business hours
  • They weren’t aware of the session
  • And they ask if they can see a webinar

• My LinkedIn network has grown in about 500 connections.

• Attendants contact me, to get more information about social media. Also I helped some of them to improve their LinkedIn profile. 

Each one the experience is different but based on mine, if you want to make a presentation in your chapter take in mind.

- Know your chapter. You’ll feel more confident if you already meet the director boards, or maybe some members.

- Agree on all term and conditions. Usually, the chapter will send you an agreement, but they are quite standard. Maybe you’ll be interested in know before hand simply things like

                     - Can I upload the presentation in SlideShare?

                     - Can I propose the presentation content in projectmanagment.com?

                     - Will be the presentation recorded? When and where will be updated?

                     - Will you send to the attendees a survey?

                     - Will you provide me feedback about the presentation?

                     - Will you be interested in my participation for other chapter sessions?

           - Could you write me a recommendation letter to send to other organizations?

Yes, easy questions that I completely forgot, and after the presentation was more difficult to get answers.

Don’t be shy, you can give back more than you imagine.

Do it! It’s an amazing and challenging experience.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed and learned something with my experience.

If you think that your chapter will be interested in this presentation, don’t hesitate to contact me.
