The TwitterLab date has been set!

I will be conducting a one hour multi-technology session for novices to learn about Twitter.  Here’s the plan:

1. You have to sign up ahead of time so that I know who is coming and how many people will be involved. You’ll do that via the link below to PayPal where you pay/register.
2. After I get your payment, I will send you a PDF with instructions on how to set up your Twitter account if you don’t already have one yet.
3. I will also send you the phone conference phone number so that you will have that to call in on Monday, October 12, 2009.
4. Once you are set up in Twitter, the PDF instructions will tell you some things to Tweet me so that I know you are ready.
5. On Saturday, October 10, 2009, I will send you the presentation so that you can have it on your computer or you can print it out to follow during the session.
6. On Monday, you’ll call into the conference line that I will send those who register and I will go through the presentation for about 20 minutes.  Then we will do Q&A using Twitter as our tool (this will be cool, so get excited about actually doing something with it)
7. Then I’ll do another 10-15 minute presentation on how to use Twitter to further establish your online presence and build your business network.
8. We’ll take another round of questions and then wrap up.

So, the multi-technology part is that you will be on your regular phone listening via conference call, on your computer logged into Twitter and practicing (this is a learning lab, not just a lecture) and you will have the hard copy of the presentation to follow along.  Phone, computer, paper – can you manage all that?  I hope so, because this should be fun.

Here are the logistical details:

Registration process – to register, you will use PayPal, the link below takes you there.  The cost is $25.  If you want to have 5 people in the room watching you, that’s fine too. This tele-seminar is free to The Coaching Association paid subscribers and TCA Coaches.  If you are reading this and are TCA Coach listed on www.thecoachingassociation.com, email me at info@barbarademarest.com to register and I’ll get you set up.  If you are interested in joining the TCA as a subscriber, email me and I will let you know what is involved and if it is something that might fit for you.

Time to Allow for This – We will take at least 45 minutes, but no more than 1 hour to work through the presentation and to try some things on Twitter.  The idea is for it to be a lab and not just a lecture, so you will get the most out of it if you are fully engaged at a computer with access to a phone.  If the time that it is scheduled only works for you to listen on your cell while you are driving or something, that’s up to you whether or not to do it.  I am going to try to record this so that participants can come back to it if they need to do so.

That’s the plan, I hope you can join in.

Here’s the PayPal button to register, cost is $25.00

Two TCA Coaches, Joyce Richman and Barbara Demarest, will be featured.  Joyce currently appears on WFMY offering career and executive coaching advice.  She is serving as one of the sponsors and hosts of the event.  Barbara Demarest will offer “curbside” consulting to up to 250 participants during the 8-hour event.  Barbara’s will offer coaching to participants interested in using online tools in managing their career transitions.
