5 Reasons Leaders Should Not Fear Social Media

July 30th, 2009

These friendships and business partnerships extend online as well. However, many straggling organizations still insist upon blocking traffic to “social sites”.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my good friend Norman Reiss has a blog focused on Non-Profit IT and ePhilanthropy. Norman has worked in the non-profit space for many years now and has developed a wealth of knowledge in ePhilanthropy.

If you work in NPO technology and / or ePhilanthropy, I suggest adding his blog to your list. He’s now linked on this site as well.

Adding Presentations

October 2nd, 2007

Someone at a recent networking event asked for a copy of the slide deck used for a technology team step back meeting. So I have added this, along with generic versions of some other slide decks that I often refer to, to www.lichtenwalner.net.

These decks really are just the basics, as I have stripped out any organization-specific information, but they may be good starting points or suggestions. If you have suggestions for similar presentations, have something to add, please, let me know.
