Hang on this is interesting! I met Katherine Haine at the New York Press Association Annual Meeting last week in Albany. She was a vendor for her company City Media attempting to get newspaper editors interested in finding out more about the health of their digital footprint and if something is wrong or weak ways to fix it. And, while she was at a newspaper event, she does not limit her service to newspapers. Listen in as we talk about how you can get insights into your digital reputation and then fix what might be broken.

One of the other speakers there was Val Hoeppner a media strategist from Nashville who has assisted many newspapers in re-thinking how they connect with consumers. But, beyond newspapers Val says there are significant ways in which any business can do the same and you've really got to know WHO your trying to reach. Here we talk about apps, blogs, podcasting, social media and more. Bam! Good stuff inside.

I knew, because this is what we do, that Paul Allen was one of the founders of Ancestry.com but what I didn't know was how his life has been impacted since becoming involved in the "Strengths Movement". (Didn't know there was such a ting...?) Paul has taken the decades old data about the 34 different strengths that are out there and now works with businesses to help them define hiring profiles. We all have different strengths and, according to Paul, those differences are what can make or break a company. Now his new company SOAR.com helps gather these Strengths Coaches all in one place.This is fascinating stuff...go!
