Social Media Leadership at City U Seattle

City U Seattle presenters.

On Wednesday, October 15th 2014, over eighty community, business, and education leaders converged on City University of Seattle to celebrate the new School of Applied Leadership (SAL). The breakfast celebration was full of energy as leaders collaborated, learned from each other, and networked along with celebrating the School. The Leadership conversation began at this breakfast.

One of the goals of the new School of Applied Leadership is to be a catalyst for leadership conversation. The Leadership Breakfast served to initiate critical conversations about leadership. Eleven professional speakers “captained” tables and led discussions on leadership topics ranging from Social Media, to Connections, and reluctant leaders as well as leaders as influencers. Each table’s discussion was lively and vibrant.

There were eleven tables, each with a discussion topic as interesting as the one I attended. These included:

• Tracey Warren, Social Media Strategist, www.readysetgrowmarketing.com Roundtable Topic: Are We Really Connected?
