About Lori…

I’m heavily involved in social media and business networking and, so often it’s about everyone else. Well, in a sense this is to, but for me, it’s a bit different because this is my own voice. A solo if you will, when I usually sing in a chorus. But I do love people and look forward to hearing that you read my words, found value and left comments to share with others, enhancing their experience on this site as well.

If you’d like to connect or have burning questions, I can be reached at www.LoriisOnline.com.

Summary

I work all the time! “Do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life” (Harvey McKay). I use social media to make connections, build relationships, and do business with people I come to know and trust.

Social media is here… It’s not going away, it’s not a passing fad… it’s where your customers are spending their time. If you want to be where your customers are, you want to be involved in social media. Integrated Alliances can help. We’ve helped companies and individuals shorten their learning curve and have guided them toward a strategic path to success on many of the popular business platforms including LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and others.

You’ll read blog posts, articles and books about trends in Web 2.0 tools for technology, for sales, for marketing, for recruiting, for educators, for small business owners…. We’ve trained over 7,000 professionals in more than 400 classes/workshops/webinars/seminars/conferences all over North America. We’re represented by knowledgeable trainers & coaches coast to coast, many having earned certification from IA.

I love collaborative tools, connections and interactions online. The strategic partnerships and PR received is unbelievable and has allowed me to fulfill some of my lifelong dreams, like visiting Nova Scotia and working as an executive at a leading national training company. That’s important because I love training development and being a thought leader. I’m asked to speak, teach, and provide immersion programs for companies and organizations, non-profit, for-profit, governmental, educational, and everything in between.

If you want to be Social Media Savvy, start with my blog, attend a free Q&A webinar, and then look at our training line-up or ask about managed services. We’re here to help! IA is the biggest, oldest and most experienced social media training company in the world, so you don’t have to look anywhere else!
