Unlike many higher education events held in February 2010, this one had a worldwide assembly of NON-professors and NON-students discussing teaching and learning with technology. Their platform was the globe, and their discussion was just about as far reaching.

New York City’s Social Media Week events had been held all week as part of a global initiative being coordinated in 5 international cities with participants from everywhere able to plug-in. On this Friday, wrap up events included a stellar event held at McGraw-Hill Headquarters in New York City. This panel, Trends in Social Media in Higher Education included approximately 175 people from across industries, journalism and education on the roll call for the event on-site and via livestream at USTREAM.tv.

Not only were the expertise of the panelists spanning social media, technology, entrepreneurship, consulting, book authoring, marketing, and education, but their roles were several. Consultants, authors and marketing strategists, an education professor, and a student entrepreneur.

 Ep 30 Top 5 Reasons People Turn to a Professional Business Coach [36:20m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Have you ever thought about whether professional career or life coaching might meet your needs, or someone’s you know?

Join us to hear the mystery being dispelled….Learn what a professional business coach does and why you or others  might benefit from using one?

Dr. King has recently formally added certified professional business coach to the many hats she already wears as an educator, podcaster and speaker.

This week, we’ll talk about the top 5 reasons people turn to a professional business coach for help.

The 5 P’s of Professional Coaching from Dr. Kathy King

(listen in to learn what they mean!)

1. Pressure

2. Problems

3. Promise

4. Possibilities

5. Pieces

Tips to improve your professional life abound as Kathy and Paige walk through a few scenarios of how coaches can help also…

• Need to organize that office?
• Need to discover your goals?
• Need to decide if you stay in current career or switch?

What are they saying about Kathy as a professional career coach?

When I came to Kathy for assistance I was under so much pressure and thought it was impossible. She has helped me gain confidence in areas I did not think it possible. She helped me organize and diligently pursue my professional goals. She helps me push forward eagerly because of her belief in me and her enthusiasm. With Dr. King there is never a wrong answer, she asks the question in different ways until you understand what you need to discover. It is amazing how much I have accomplished by working with her as my coach. – Janice L. (2008-2009)

Dr. King has a 360-degree approach to coaching and training. She has an invested interest in the learning process of everyone and is ready to guide us in getting a job done. Her natural ability is to help individuals to reach their maximum potential by challenging them with high standards and expectations that they could not have imagined for themselves….. She truly walks alongside her clients; I have presented with her at conferences and she invited me to co-author with her in order to learn writing articles. When I met Dr. King, I was energized by the confirmation that I have made the right decision – Shemeka P. (7/3/2009)

Contact us to discuss your needs and goals. A free, confidential consultation is available, with projects priced on a discounted package or a per hr basis.

  • From HelpDeskGeek
    • “There is a lot of great open source software out there that can help make the life of any IT Administrator easier and I’ve written about several like a, b, c.

 Ep 23:Plagiarism: Has Technology Made it Easier?: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Exclusive: Get an inside look at how one professor considers difficult  grading situations.

From students, to teachers, presidential candidates to the business world, where have you most recently see examples of plagiarism? What does it mean? Why is it happening? MAYBE technology created the mass problem?

Recently, a superintendent addressed the graduating class of 2008 with a 6-1/2 minute speech meant to motivate them as they go out into the world. Unfortunately, not all the words she used were her own. They came from a web page with tips on how to speak in public. Did she do anything illegal, or just in poor taste?

Join Kathy and Paige as they delve deeper into the issue of the right (and wrong) way to use information on the web.

Surprises abound as you listen to these choices!
