Backyard Blogging & People Management Tips

I recently wrote a post called The Values-Driven People Manager. This is one of my all-time favorite posts here on PPC Ian because I have dedicated a large portion of my career and life to being the best possible people manager. I truly enjoy mentoring, growing, motivating, and empowering others. I’m always finding ways to improve, and am truly motivated myself by helping others. People management is an honor and privilege, and I think you feel the same since this post was shared so many times!

Today, I thought I’d build on that post with episode three of my new Backyard Blogging video blog series. Check it out:

Introducing Backyard Blogging With Presentation Tips

By PPC Ian Leave a Comment Dec 22 6

Happy holidays, everyone! It’s around this time of year (with the new year quickly approaching) that I’m always thinking of great, new ideas to improve all areas of my life: my career, my personal life, and of course my blog. Just last week, I posted a video about Brainstorming For 2014.

Well, the other week while brainstorming, my wife suggested a new idea called “Backyard Blogging”. This would be a fun video blog series that I would do each week (or as often as possible) here on PPC Ian. It would be a great way to keep it fun and casual, and shoot informative videos without much/any need for fancy editing. The end result: This becomes a new and exciting way to connect with others in digital marketing / customer acquisition (you), and keeps things super fun here on PPC Ian. Also, it’s a fun way for me to practice my own presentation and speaking skills (something I’m truly passionate about).

Well, I’m thrilled today to share my first episode of Backyard Blogging. Please check it out below, and make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Playing into the theme above, I thought the first topic should be all about public speaking and presentation skills for businesspeople. In the exciting world of marketing and customer acquisition, there are always opportunities to present, oftentimes to large audiences. Superb presentation skills create a world of opportunity in one’s career. Thanks for watching and wishing you an amazing 2014!
