Jeff Cutler – columns, essays and opinions

When it rains, it pours. Luckily and happily it’s not raining today on the first day of Bike-to-Work Week. But what is flooding my schedule this week are speaking engagements and appearances. I might be better served putting this info up on WithJeff, but that’s more of a community calendar and here is where I share social media news and other info.

So, what am I talking about? Let’s just detail the week…

Last night I was on The Bean Cast. This marketing podcast always has smart people on it and somehow I snuck past the guards. The show last yesterday had Ken Wheaton, Bob Knorpp, Joe Jaffe and Erik Proulx on it. And me.

Here’s the link to the show. Give it a listen and feel free to fast forward when I’m talking. Bob was kind enough to say I was making sense, but it took me another hour after the show to stop my brain from hurting – those guys were saying so much smart stuff.

In about three hours, I’ll be doing a show with Matt Mamet of Edit.me. His product is a collaborative blogging tool made for organizations that have teams of people (or at least more than one) creating content. Since I manage 20+ blogs on my own and put content up in newspapers, magazines, radio and online, he wanted to have me on to talk about content.

The show’s going to be fun and you can listen live at Noon Eastern today.

Here’s the Webinar link.

Then there’s a book launch party with Diane Darling – I contributed to the book.

The party is on May 18. And finally there are a pile of events at the end of next weekend and into next week. Those are the Eat, Drink and Be Social parties and sessions.

Learn more here.

I also have one ticket to give away if you haven’t bought yours yet. Just leave a comment on this post and I’ll pick one winner by this Wednesday.

Then on Tuesday, the 25th, Jim Storer and I will be on a panel at the Swiss Consulate in Cambridge. Come see us at this FREE EVENT.

What’s on your docket for the early summer/late spring? I’d love to hear from you.

Diane Darling is charming and upfront about her skillset and her mantras. She wants to see people succeed and has a vision in how that can happen. For even experienced networking and social media professionals, Darling’s tips and insight can be valuable.

For instance, in her most recent book…

DISCLAIMER, I CONTRIBUTED A SECTION TO THIS BOOK

…Diane gets down and dirty in how professionals at all levels leverage their skills and outgoing nature to make connections and ultimately make themselves more successful financially and emotionally.

Give it a read…even if you buy it just to see my section…it’s a nice primer for those who are a bit skeptical that traditional networking still can get the job done. I believe a mix of traditional and new media is the right route, but I’m a tech-head early adopter, what do I know?

ALSO, there’s an event coming up on May 18 where you can meet Diane in person and get your book signed. I expect that I’ll be there too and will sign anything you bring in – doesn’t have to be a book.

Here’s the info on that May 18 event.

If you’d like me to help with a book, or even contribute a complete section or be a co-author, I’m always willing to listen. Gimme a shout in the comments here.

Thanks for reading!
