Guest Speaking at UCLA Extension

Last month, the Erik Deutsch (by way of Serena Ehrlich) invited me to be a guest speaker at his UCLA Extension course this semester – “Social Media Best Practices for Communications Professionals.”

Well tomorrow’s the night, and I am so excited! The last time I spoke about social media was at my alma mater the Drucker School, and that was fun! I’ll be guest-starring with Dan Portnoy, a social media dynamo in the field. It should make for an interesting class.

Let’s be frank, I’m also nervous as hell – public speaking is my kryptonite. (Bear with me, students, bear with me.)

    Chris — You and Dan were great… full of enthusiasm and useful information. I know the students truly appreciated your willingness to share so much knowledge. I’ll be hitting you up again for the Fall quarter – guaranteed

    PS. I couldn’t tell you were nervous… not even for a second :)

    Don’t worry, Chris. Erik gives his students permission to text during class, so no one will be listening anyway. Well… maybe some of us will be listening to see if you hyperventilate. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow night.
