Speaking Topics

Tea can speak on almost anything you’d like. She’s given you the following “menu items” to spark your creativity and get you thinking. Whatever you want, we can talk about it.

* Using Social Media Tools to Make Things Happen – Traditional marketing and networking channels are filled with noise.  And unless you’re spending multi-millions, your message is probably invisible in that realm. Discover how your business or nonprofit can take advantage of the relationship-centric tools of the new Web. Understand how to make your first moves in this space. And then understand how to implement. Does your organization have a Facebook policy? What about Twitter? Video? Podcasts? Should you have a blog? And if so, who should write it? How will you track your social media efforts to lead generation, to awareness, to retention? How do you integrate listening tools into your duties? We can look at any or all of these topics as well as best practices in everything from profile creation to outreach to conversations and community relations.

* How & Why to Green-up Your Organization (and gain a competitive edge) – Does your organization have a sustainability policy?  Do you know what a triple bottom line is? Would you like to better understand how to create a more socially conscious business? Save money? Gain a marketing edge over your competitors?  The topic of sustainability is fast becoming one of the most important areas for businesses who want to both improve their financial standings as well as grow a solid and loyal customer base.

* Social Entrepreneurship and the Sustainable Social Enterprise -What the heck is a social entrepreneur and why should I care? For those who want to do more with their careers and businesses than just make money for the sake of making money, this topic is huge.  We’ll explore the hows and whys of social enterprise and social business — the structures, the needs, and the important considerations for success.

* How to Create a Successful Mission-Driven Organization - For organizations (both nonprofit and for profit) that are based on a purpose beyond just creating value for shareholders, success depends on creating a solid foundation of strong business practices and marketing strategies.  Learn how to think differently about your organization and innovate with the best of them.  We can cover everything from Triple Bottom Line Business Plans to Integrated Marketing Strategies to Revenue and Funding.
