Flux - What do you do?

Spent an hour with 50 or so fantastic friends at PRSA’s Western District Conference 2009 in Newport, Calif. yesterday. Our task was to wander through thoughts and challenges for our future as professionals. We had fun. We cover some esoteric PR stuff, but I discuss social media quite a bit, as that’s a serious re-writer of PR. (Full seminar write-up here.)

Numerous attendees asked me for an electronic version of my program handout so that the links were easy to access. Thus, I put it here. (http://www.getspine.com/Flux.pdf)

Additionally, I recorded the presentation so that I could review it. The audio came out well enough that I added the slides and created a YouTube video. Please note that, as a recording of a live audience, you lose a lot of the dynamics of being there. But you can get a sense of what concepts and questions we were playing with.

Because it’s a 47 minute presentation, I had to cut it into parts to fit the YouTube upload limitations. If you click through to the YouTube page, parts 2-5 can be found in the playlist in the right hand column.

I do a lot of presentations (50 in the past year). It’s fun to do one completely free-form like this... conversational (vs. rehearsed) where the whole point is to pose questions more than teach a subject.

If you do take the time to listen/watch, I would love your feedback.
