Having Conversations that Matter at the Fraser Valley Social Media Meetup

Last night I had the incredible opportunity to present to the Fraser Valley Social Media Meetup! A fantastic group of entrepreneurs, business owners, and social media enthusiasts in the Greater Vancouver Area. My topic… "Having Conversations that Matter to Business"! 

Tyrell Mara speaking at the Fraser Valley Social Media Meetup

One of my growing passions has been the exploration of the question "Why", in the presentation I stated that I believe before we can really embrace social media, we have to ask ourselves this question, "Why do we exist, as businesses and individuals, and what is our unique voice?" The answers to these questions provide a solid foundation from which we can build a meaningful brand and have really engaging conversation, both online and off~ this is what creates valuable relationships and communities.

I also believe, that when we start having conversations around our passions, our unique voice, and why we exist; the stakes are raised and we engage and learn at a much deeper level… Last night I invited the #FVSM community to join in this conversation together…
