I’m Mike Ambassador Bruny and I’m glad you’re here!  My goal is to help you Run the Point (take action) from where you are, with what you have.  You can wait until there is a hole in the ship or you can learn to swim now, at your own pace when there isn’t an emergency.  I hope you choose the latter.  

After 8 years as a manager at Intel and a side hustler (building my own service business at the same time) I’ve run into too many talented professionals who are not fluent or at least conversational in the social space.  I’ve decided to do something about it.  I want to help more become what I’m calling, “The Connected Professional,” and build their own brand while still working for someone else. 

The Connected Professional isn’t just about being on LinkedIn and Twitter.  It’s about being in the know and learning about tools that can help you accomplish more with less effort.  Part of that is online and another is offline.  

It is 100% about connection, community and helping you to take action.  I’ve provided the resources, stories and most importantly confidential space to help you get where you want to be.

Here are a few key things I’ll be sharing here (you can go to their respective sites):

• Hashtags to Handshakes: All about networking at conferences and big events. 
• Brand Inside A Brand: All about employees building personal brands and employee advocacy.
• Hip Hop Affirmations: All about keeping you motivated to do the work that only you can do. 

Feel free to look around, stay as long as you like, but just remember to turn off the lights before you leave.
