Jackie and chow who recently passed away unexpectedly in whose life and memory I try not honor and eat each and every single day As an immigrant from China he came to the US for a better life as a young college student He met my mother and as we say the rest is history They ended up having two children my brother and I and growing up as an immigrant family Libraries were a cornerstone of our lives books movies documentaries a safe space to explore and endless adventures All for free as a married graduate student couple with children They didn't have a lot of disposable income in the library was our refuge our place of adventure I'm proud to say that my father lived a full life through hard work and serving as a dedicated husband and father He led a life that was well lived some lessons.

Go ahead Hello, and thank you. Thank you and gracias. I'm very pleased to be here I have a caveat unfortunately and that's that Earlier this week I was released from the hospital after five days and so one of the medications that I take A side effect is coughing. So if I start to cough during this talk, I apologize and I'll Stop as quickly as I can but thank you. Thank you that When I was executive director of the American Library Association, we had a case before the Supreme Court The Supreme Court it was LA versus United States government and we refer we refer to it as freedom of the internet Access to the internet. This was the 1996 telecommunications act Our attorney and their attorney the government's attorney were told you have three minutes Three minutes to make your case because after that the chief justices will start asking questions Well three minutes Three minutes isn't very long. It was suggested that I talk about what I've learned in my profession And that's daunting because I've been librarian for 50 years I know most of you weren't born then but That's I understand how long that was what I learned at three minutes Maybe I couldn't do it for seven minutes. Surely I could do that and I don't want to be fast concise and brief I learned to be ready I learned to be ready for opportunities and that's what I want to talk to you about today Ready for the unanticipated Ready for the non routine Ready for the great idea from a quiet staff member Ready for a door to open that appears to have been closed ready for challenges to get things done to make things happen and Somewhere out there in this universe of People attending this event There's a friend And I want to tell you a story about dr. Anthony Bernier. Please forgive me, Anthony When I was appointed director of the Los Angeles public library It was a time of construction the new central library after an infamous fire The over half a million square foot new central library would be a blend of the 1928 good hue elaborate magnificent building that had sculptures and mosaics and Mayan and egyptian motifs and And an enormous astrological chandelier and the rotunda And it was to be blended with a seven-story very modern series of escalators that went up And throughout the building and it was surrounded by books You could go up and down the escalators the books all around you. It was called the grand canyon of books by one of the tv anchors There were gardens and there were fountains and there was a classy restaurant There was a food court. There was a gift shop There was a 250 seat theater It was estimated that over 80,000 people attended celebrities authors icons I gave big bird a library cart and he gave me a yellow feather There were celebrities. It was a wonderful time for the community But what was important is something that happened a week later Because a week later a librarian asked to talk to me And if you've been to the central library, you know how magnificent it is and you ought to see the library director's office It's pretty wonderful so the Librarian was Anthony Bernier. He wasn't Dr. Anthony Bernier yet But he told me Something that startled me and it said he told me that in over a half a million square foot do brand new magnificent library There were less than a thousand square feet for teens And I I was shocked I was an advocate for teens. I knew better I knew I hadn't been involved in the design of the facility, but I certainly was involved in everything else and including the opening and the management and I knew that less than a mile from the new beautiful central library was the largest High school in Los Angeles And those students could just come straight down the road to the new library And we didn't have enough space I left LA to be The executive director of the American Library Association, but Anthony stayed and he made sure that teens got space And the new teen space of Los Angeles public library It proclaimed a new era in teen services by public libraries. I started an entirely new service And I'm always grateful a little embarrassed by what happened, but always grateful to have learned Because he showed me that while I was involved with all of the politics and the opening and the media I didn't pay attention to those details and I should have I'm a big picture person, but I need to know the details too And Anthony talked He showed me that way. Thanks, Anthony Now, will you remember that? So what have I learned working in libraries for all these years? I've learned that change isn't really that difficult. All you need is GANAS G-A-N-A-S GANAS in Spanish means will That's all you need I learned that there's always money. Don't believe people that say there's too many. There's plenty I learned how to find it where it is a different accounts a different budgets. It's not in the budget everybody looks at But I learned to find money and I learned to find people who could donate money I learned that policies are not laws They can be changed I learned that practice is only what we did yesterday It's not what we have to We need to do tomorrow I learned to find colleagues who supported us Especially me. I learned to find and follow details that would become important in the future I learned that staff know what is needed Much better than I did. All I all I needed to do was say yes I didn't have to do it myself. They were perfectly capable and better at it I learned to say yes to most requests Especially those who came from the public because they had great ideas for programs I learned from my experiences After watching a movie the first GANAS movie. I am Joaquin A man who had been sitting behind me tapped me on the shoulder He tapped me on the shoulder and he said Or asked are you in the librarian working at East LA library? And before I could answer before I could answer He said we need you We need you those words changed my entire career My career path was set in stone from then on It was a time when Libraries did not have multicultural services collections books Staff who spoke other languages It was very Eurocentric and very white centric and it didn't exist So I became the first Chicano librarian Also the oldest Chicano librarian So my career path changed My profession opened up And I became an advocate for multilingual multicultural services And it's still something that I do Libraries that had staff at that point didn't speak the languages libraries didn't have collections or histories or programs about other people And that started to change Today it seems normal and natural, but it wasn't then In the 70s I established four ethnic resource centers the first ones in Los Angeles county and in the nation the American Indian The Asian Pacific Islander The black and the Chicano ethnic resource centers. They're still thriving today and they collect Manage and you can have access to all the documents of local history on all the cultural peoples of Los Angeles county I also learned how to stand up to my community a world famous architect Designed a library that librarians didn't like The community liked it the children liked it the city liked it But librarians didn't because it was very hard to supervise It wasn't a big room where you could look out and see everything It was instead as the architect said I want people to go room to room and discover books And that's what they did a little reading tower A little garden places where you walk and you could read and you could enjoy the library, but I learned to speak up about it. I learned that yes I would have to pay Twice the cost to staff that facility because it wouldn't be easy But it was worth it because that's what the community wanted I also learned about wonders When a librarian at Michelangelo's library in Florence said to me Elizabeth We know who you are And we have something we think you would enjoy looking at well To my surprise and enjoyment she pulled out an enormous metal big metal Book it was leather and it had a big key and it had a big lock And she opened it up and she said this is a Mayan gorex And she gave me time to look through the pages beautiful brilliant paintings of All colors of wildlife and birds and clothes and food and mountains people it was an encyclopedia of the Mayan culture And I spent time with that and I learned about wonder When the millennium was approaching I was looking for the endocrine key of the 21st century why because of the executive director of the american library association I knew That most libraries did not have computers or the internet. How could you enter? A 21st century the century of technology. How could you enter it without computers and access to the internet My staff had calculated that it would take 900 million dollars to get every public library in the country at computers public computers not just for staff public computers software and access to the internet Well, who has 900 million dollars? So I asked bill gates I thought piece of 21st century icon We gave him a proposal at 18 months later He called and said I'll give you 200 million And that's for libraries that are in what we then called the government's pork zip codes So with 200 million dollars we could equip libraries with computers Imagine that today they're everywhere Then they were the first my staff And I were ready for this big project I also learned some challenges are very personal became very personal Because I had heard and I certainly experienced And testified to the fact that a profession is not diverse It wasn't then and it's not now It's still 90% Librarian non librarians of color So I gathered a group of friends california friends, you know the friends that You don't have to tell them what it's about. You don't have to justify. You don't have to document it. You don't have to Convince people friends who know the issue and I Contacted them and so we gathered We gathered in prasadena. We said that I was a library director and we met with him And it was Cheryl Matoir Cherokee Janice Koyama, Japanese American Benny Tate Welkin Black American Patricia studying Mexican American And the six of us got together and said How do we Start the diversification with this profession? So we made a plan the plan was The sga la for 1.5 million dollars. This was 1996 1.9 million dollars And we wanted five years 50 scholarships 50 scholars a year And each would get 5,000 dollars And that would be the beginning. Well spectrum was established it became a hot commodity and people now support it wholeheartedly and There's over 3,000 like spectrum scholars librarians now 3,000 we didn't have before So Things can happen the challenge is that We just have to be ready and you have to take the consequences of those who don't always agree with you there recently I had a call from a former ala friend And she said lesbians I want you to help us recruit scientists of color Scientists and i'm thinking i've never done that before didn't say anything, but didn't haven't done that before But I was ready. I was ready to help a colleague who wanted to diversify the scientific community And so she says You know senescent cells senescent cells. Yes You know the cells that don't multiply the cells in your body that don't multiply and they're connected to the elderly To the elderly. So This is a pilot project. There's new research. It's going to be fantastic. We want you to help us recruit Scientists of color And place them in labs all around the country. So college students 60 of them last summer were placed at MIT in stanford in duke and yale and Northwestern throughout the country to study senescent cells And I think that's what taught me was that there's always time to learn something new I'm not a scientist. I'm not even in bioinformatics She said to me Don't worry about it. We'll get a researcher or a pi to give you a crash course and you'll know all about senescent cells You know in a week so Be ready to learn Be ready to wonder Be ready to for the challenges that are ahead of you Be ready to leave your mark on the profession think about when You're almost ready to retire. I know that seems like a long time now and people aren't retiring But think about it when you leave one job to another job What did you leave behind? What did you accomplish? How did you help other people? What whose doors did you open? Because many people opened my doors? I couldn't have done Of the my accomplishments without somebody else helping me and so Be ready be ready Leave evidence of your good work be excited Be ready for wonder be ready for the excitement of a new profession meeting new people and new colleagues Be ready for an opportunity to do good for your community So my question to you now is Are you ready? Are you ready? For the opportunities that this profession is going to provide for you Because that's where you are you're ready to step into that profession and the opportunities will be there So congratulations and welcome to the librarian's world of opportunities Thanks a lot Truly inspiring Elizabeth and again, let's give her a loud run of applause for Not only a wonderful remarks, but her commitment and impact on our society through her leadership So again, thank you very much elizabeth for joining us and all that you've done For our country Thank you So our next speaker, uh, we are delighted to have uh, rob loy. So rob loy is deputy city manager for the city of san osa And he also served as the former city's chief information officer So let me turn it over to you rob. Thank you so much for joining us Thank you, dr. Chow So good evening class of 2024. It's wonderful to see some faces of our newest professionals and leaders My thanks to san osa state university and the school of information dr Chow and dr Wong for the invitation to speak with you We in silicon valley think highly of sjsu's graduates As much as any class since the emergence of the internet you are coming into this professional world To shape our next 25 years and beyond Our horizon is filled with tremendous change and fundamental questions We have six generations working together for the first time The rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence and the path towards general AI will change how we work the the jobs people will hold And we'll reshape economies as well as communities. There's both excitement and apprehension in that We have questions about how to shape common values when social connections are down across the board Marriage rates participation in social and volunteer organizations attendance at churches time with peers at work How do we handle our changing values and needs related to privacy and securing the digital infrastructure and services of nations As scholars you see more than most how we are struggling to determine basic truths In a very noisy world of information and media The ability of AI to generate images and our audio artifacts that warp reality that make the fake Invincing as the real that's only going to undermine our ability to know what we can believe and agree to address All that's to say is you're going to be world-class problem solvers because we have heavy world-class problems But you've studied information and technology You see the world as it should be And to paraphrase alan simpson those that travel The high road of humility and hard work are not often bothered by heavy traffic But they are among the best of us and we need your humble work and leadership um a story for you I see a lot of smart people in our teams ones who work to rise and have opportunities in their careers About five years ago. We had two come through as fellows from different programs By most measures equally bright equally hardworking Both rose quickly to mid-level managers leading in areas of data science and equity planning and permitting and homelessness Same age and both had their master's degrees As they rose We started to see one stay on a fast path the other ran into more barriers They couldn't overcome without increasing help We coached we mentored but we started to see clearly a gap between the two emerge Whereas one truly thirsted for feedback developed the emotional strength to see critiques as gifts And dedicated energy to building strong relationships with others The others started to communicate to us in very different terms Critical feedback meant that others didn't respect or trust them Critiques from team members were interpreted as micromanagement of their work They couldn't have to work so hard because people have different opinions and wouldn't agree and how is that my problem Criticisms show we aren't a supportive team and that kind of language From the other we heard conversations like dang, I hadn't thought of that point Let me work on this policy to make it better Can I go into the field with you so I understand how this process will work for you and your team Some of the lessons that elizabeth mentioned There are some new legal requirements coming can we team up to plan how we address them Or even I didn't know that can you teach me how those things work at police So we can address the public safety needs and plan the community engagement Or they sent out a message. Please hammer this report hard and give me feedback It's important to our plans for the next few years and I need to get it right Guess which of those emerging stars is now part of the executive team for one of our departments And has emerged as a leading young voice in their field nationally There are lessons in that story because we see it so often Consistent elements to success with others, especially where there's fast Adaption to change that's required in an environment One is having expertise in an area of important knowledge There's another great skill in being able to get good work done and having people's trust because you have a high say do ratio And the last is harder to achieve and takes humility And that's the ability to build relationships that make you better How many times have we seen that? A really smart person who talks but can't deliver or maybe even is a jerk The person who works hard but often does it poorly or wrong And refuses to learn what's next But saddest is the person who is smart and does good work But self limits because they can't connect with others They don't take the time to relate they struggle to listen Or unable to improve based on the wisdom of others They're alone and in the shallows But if you hit all three marks, I guarantee you you will be successful And our professionals in the first parts of their careers are making decisions differently We see that you are more likely to accept jobs with companies that show diversity in teams and leadership You are communicating a sense of values And you're hiring processes and a willingness to look for employers that roughly match your values Or at least don't conflict with them You are more diverse and celebrate celebrate traditions of many cultures To you diversity isn't is celebration. It's not just tolerating people And you look for work teams where people can share and critique and grow together And you stay with those high growth teams and bosses longer than other people You've shown that personally, uh, you're here today You've worked to become better experts through your master's program You've been consistent and put yourself in a place of learning and critique on the daily You're emerging professionals and leaders in important areas to communities and industry And I want to be clear. Yeah, you will change things for the better So all that said, I hope that's not a professional and important But I have a favor to ask for you and and I'd like to end our time a little differently I think some of us remember mr. Rogers And and kind of lessons he gave us so All and each of us have people who have helped us come to this moment tonight Parents siblings grandparents who are always in our corner Friends who root us on from here or far away A co-worker who took an extra shift to help us balance classes or who were just happy to see us do well Maybe a professor or classmate who gave the extra time you needed to understand something better Our partners who sacrificed to support us and who give us assurance in our moments of doubt Even loved ones who are past and who may be looking down on us These are people who have shown us a largeness of heart And who have loved us into being the individuals who are here today smiling And so the favor I have for you is will you please take 20 seconds with me to just think of those people To appreciate the strength they give us in life A small moment of silence and devotion and I'll say don't worry. I'll watch the time So those people you thought of how proud they are of you How full their hearts to know that you feel they made a difference in your life and how contented They must feel to have seen you grow through the years And watch you shine today In a time when the world seems inhumane These connections and moments are what remind us about human bonds and the care we need to choose to hold So with that, I just want to say we are proud of you. We look forward to seeing the positive marks you make on this world I know you'll be helpers that others need and you'll be the ones that combine the nobility of talent and hard work and compassion And so on behalf of our san jose community And your sjsu family we're in your quarter. We're rooting you on and congratulations Thank you so much rob. Let's everyone please give rob a a lounge round of applause Rob again, it's a real honor to have you join us tonight and we thank you for all of your leadership and the work that you're doing in san jose And I also want to provide context, especially for families and friends.

Have a great night everybody. Thanks for tuning in and we'll see y'all back here tomorrow at 1 p.m Pacific 4 p.m. Eastern for more breaks


I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't know what I'm talking about.


Good morning everyone and thank you Kelsey for that amazing intro to wasm day and What all this is about now? I am not entirely sure where I fit on the spectrum Kelsey Explained because I I think I have to talk to him more about What all of this means exactly to fully understand it? It's kind of interesting the schedule says that I will talk about new foundations for Building software, but this is a keynote. I have five minutes. So I'll not actually talk about anything really foundational That doesn't make sense Instead I will talk a bit about the why why do we need new software foundations? But even that would Blow way past five minutes. So I will focus on one Specific reason One that none of us will be able to afford to ignore now as reasons go this I admit is kind of on the big side and It's also a bit of a strong claim But then again, I think you all often all of you Really kind of know this to be true and luckily we have a shield against this Almost all software whether open source or commercial is provided under licenses or ULAs that try to minimize Or where possible exclude any sense of warranty and as fitness fitness for purpose any security and so on But this shield it's going to go away Both in the EU and in the US there are legislative initiatives that Make it so that all of us will have to take a lot more responsibility for the software we are shipping Not to put to find a point on it Would you be willing to bet let's say 15 million euros on the security of your application? Or if you work for a very large company, maybe billions of dollars off your revenue every year I don't know but that if the EU is having its way with the CRA the cyber Security resilience act that might become a bet you must be willing to make Now this is all in flux and we'll see how exactly it shakes out But one thing does seem pretty clear this Provided without warranty that shield It's not gonna last much longer Now a lot of a lot is being done to address the security of our applications Impressive amounts of resources are poured into securing the supply chain, which is certainly a good thing given how good we've become at reusing code and Our industry wouldn't be remotely as productive if we hadn't developed amazing ways to do that I'm a bit concerned about the Significant increase in cost that all of this entails and that it might actually slow us down But let's say it works out perfectly Let's say all of our supply chain is magically perfectly secure. We can kind of forget about it We still have to contend with that remaining bit of code the code that our teams write themselves our first party code that code is very often written by Domain experts who have deep expertise in a specific field But not necessarily all the expertise required to build a larger application to make it secure to make it reliable If you allow me the Admittedly bad analogy for a moment. Let's compare building an application or a process to building a house Imagine the person Installing, I don't know light fixtures painting the wall setting up a piece of furniture Would also have to know a really large amount of information about structural engineering or blocks or plumbing because just in the course of doing what they are doing of rolling out a carpet they Could accidentally make the building collapse or they could Make it so that the lock to the front door is twivial to open or Well, you get the picture That is sort of the Situation we have with how we build software where the units of isolation are so broad that We have these really diverse teams with really diverse sets of expertise Building pieces of functionality that are all put together Into a unit of isolation can all affect each other and can all Make it so that for example the security of the application is fundamentally Impinged Now even if we could hide behind the shield, there's no warranty provided shield. I think we should fix this I think we should improve on it But we should do it in a way as Kelsey said that makes it so that we can continue Developing with hype productivity that we can take the millions of developers with us and their languages and that we can migrate to Gradually, otherwise it will not work. We cannot regret the world. I Helped found the bike guidelines and I work at fermion because these organizations are really focused on one possible answer the component model And I believe that we have the right answer to this. I believe that we can fix these issues and do so in a way that increases productivity instead of increasing costs and has all kinds of other nice properties if you want to talk more about all of this then Find me and my colleagues at the fermion booth square on kubecon or also At the happy hour. We are hosting with docker tonight But right now I don't even want to sell you on any specific solution. I mean I haven't Told you what the component model is at all so I'm not doing much selling here instead I wanted to drive home this point that there is something that you just cannot ignore that nobody can ignore here We have to fundamentally change how we build software But also I do want to encourage you to just focus on just absorbing all the amazing stuff you'll hear about today and The cool and fun things people will present and I hope you have a fantastic wisdom day and a great coupon. Thank you

Was there ever a time where you felt a spark with someone you were talking to? Maybe it was a blind date or someone you've met in a bar, but it felt like there was a connection. Or maybe you felt a spark while reading a romance novel, and so you're curious about in-person sexual tension.  Either right away or ever. Our brains can often judge how we feel about someone quickly. A 2015 University of Pennsylvania study of over 10,000 participants found that most people make their decisions about attractiveness within the first three seconds of meeting someone. And considering our bodies respond to the signals our brains stand out, we might notice some signs of attraction and sexual tension between us and our person of interest.  Something that you might think of as awkward but fun flirting might be someone else's I'm feeling uncomfortable. So go slowly with these things and be careful about reading the signs. Here are nine signs you might be experiencing sexual tension. Number one, attraction. The first and very obvious sign of sexual tension is attraction. We can feel a connection with a new person that isn't sexual at all, so a big difference between a friendly connection and a romantic one is the attraction part. So your first question to tell if what you're feeling is sexual tension is to ask yourself. Am I attracted to this person? Do you find yourself checking them out? Remember our brains know these things sometimes before we realize it. Take a moment to think about how you feel about your new interest. It's a good way to get in touch with your own thoughts and feelings before you go further. You might not be able to tell if you're special someone feels the same, but maybe with some of these other signs you can get a better idea. Two, awkwardness. This isn't always present, but sometimes if we're attracted to someone and still figuring out our own thoughts and feelings about them, we might feel awkward. We might be too busy thinking about the right thing to say or we just keep quiet to make sure we don't say the wrong thing. This can lead to a bit of awkwardness until we're a little more sure of ourselves than the other person. But it's important to remember that awkwardness can also be a sign of other things, such as shyness. So while awkward conversations can be a sign of sexual tension, it shouldn't be the only way to judge it. Immediate connection. On the complete opposite side of awkwardness, you might both feel an intense and instant connection to one another. You've probably heard people describe the feeling of having known this person for a long time despite having just met. You might feel that same sense of connection as you talk to them. This chemistry, the way you two just seem to click, could indicate a level of attraction or sexual tension. Number four, similarities. You might have heard that opposites attract. But in some cases of attraction, like attracts like. So in addition to an immediate connection, you might also notice that you and them share a lot of similar features. This could include shared interests, hobbies or goals. But it might also include having similar physical features as well, such as the same hair or eye color. Scientists call this assortive mating, where we bond or connect with people based on similarities we can observe. So it's possible that those similarities you're recognizing might be a piece of attraction. And it could be contributing to that immediate connection you're hopefully both feeling. Number five, speedy heart and sweaty palms. We usually tell kids that butterflies in the stomach mean we like someone. That's not far off. Do you notice your heart starts racing more around that special someone? Or do you notice your palms start to get a little sweaty? These are usually signs of attraction. But in a 2022 study that set men and women up on blind dates, it found that those who were mutually attracted to one another experienced heart rates and sweaty palms that increased and decreased at the same time. Why does this happen? Well, it could be because attraction is often caused by hormones like adrenaline and norepinephrine getting ramped up, which leads us to getting excited. Hence the racing hearts and sweaty palms. So if you and your partner are both noticing these signs, you might be feeling a touch of sexual tension. Number six, touch that excites both of you. Are you both feeling a little touchy?  This could be the brush of a hand or a light touch on the arm, or even leaning closer to one another when talking. If you're hugging, you might notice that you both hang on a little longer than you would with others. When we find someone attractive, we want to get closer to them. And one of the ways we do that is through touch. But the touches are usually ones that affect both of you. You're both feeling some level of excitement from them.  Number seven, you enjoy one another's company. Do you both find that you can't get enough of one another? You can talk for hours and hours and still not be tired of each other. Maybe you realize you feel immediately comfortable with each other, or you both feel secure in each other's company. Then you might even be a little worried that when you both separate for the evening, you'll miss the conversation or feel like you even missed an opportunity. Sure, some of these signs can also mean you're experiencing a friendly connection, but when you combine it with the attraction part, it's usually a good indicator that sexual tension is occurring. Eight, your conversations are very flirty.   Does complimenting each other come naturally? And are you finding you're both bouncing off each other in the same playful way? If so, there's maybe a good sign you're both feeling sexual tension.   And number nine, you continue thinking about them after you've separated.  Are you constantly thinking about your conversations or how good they looked in their outfit? Or maybe you're trying to figure out what your next conversation will be. Perhaps you're also thinking about when you'll see them next. If you continue to think about them no matter how much time you've spent together, you might be experiencing some attraction. If you find out the other person is feeling the same, that's probably a good indication you're both feeling sexual tension. Navigating the world of dating and sex can sometimes be a challenging thing. What we think is a sign of attraction can be someone else's shyness or even discomfort. It's important to remember that even using these signs, it needs to be felt on both ends. And while we can't always tell what someone else is feeling, it's good to understand our own feelings about someone else. Sexual tension can be a fun and exciting start to something more meaningful. But only if for sure, both people are feeling that same pull.  Let us know in the comments below. Thanks for watching and don't forget to like and subscribe for more.  Get your very own sigh.

Are you looking to expand your client base and attract more meeting planners to your organization in the new year? Well, social selling is a lot more effective than cold calling. So today we're gonna talk about how to extend LinkedIn invitations to potential clients. Hey, it's Leanne from leancolderwood.com and if you're a meeting partner and not yet on LinkedIn, this could be the time to do it. Finding clients aside, LinkedIn is a great platform for you to grow your personal brand and your professional brand. And it's where recruiters are looking for talent as well. So if you haven't optimized your LinkedIn profile, I've actually included some links below this post to some blog posts I did about creating a better LinkedIn profile. So feel free to check those out. But today here's what we're talking about and that's extending invitations to meeting planners on LinkedIn. Invitations that they are going to respond to and now become part of your network. When they become part of your network, they can now see your content, see your likes and your comments and your posts and you start to build a relationship with them and they start to get more visibility to you. So that's why we wanna extend invitations to other meeting planners or potential clients on LinkedIn. And I'm gonna talk to you about how to craft the perfect invitation today. So here we go. Tip number one, when sending an invitation to anyone you want to connect with on LinkedIn, make sure you send a personalized message. So LinkedIn has a template that you can use and I think it goes something like, I'd like to join your LinkedIn network. No, you're gonna scratch that, make sure it's personalized, include people's names. Tip number two, when crafting that personalized message, make sure you reference where you met the person if you've met that person already. So perhaps you ran into them at a networking event or a welcome reception somewhere, make sure you reference where you met that person. And if you need some networking tips, I actually did a video not too long ago on networking tips that you can find above here. So again, in that invitation on LinkedIn, make sure you reference where you met that individual. Tip number three, if you are working on a meeting or an event program together, make sure you reference what you are working on. That will definitely jog their memory if they have met you before and they may have only met you via email or via phone call with respect to that certain program. So make sure you reference the program and give some context around the invitation that way. Tip number four is to provide something of value. And that thing of value is not something that your organization provides like a floor plan or a catering menu. No, no, this is something that would provide them of value to their role as a meeting planner or maybe even something else that you noticed in their profile, perhaps a hobby or an interest that they have. So provide something tangible, something that they can maybe use, something that they can learn from. And now you're going to be recognized as someone who shares knowledge. And that goes a long way when creating relationships with new meeting partners. Tip number five, don't sell. Especially not in the invitation phase. It would be so tempting to reach out to a meeting planner and say, hey, my name is Sue and I work at a property in Houston that has a thousand guest rooms and 50,000 square feet of meeting space. No, this isn't the time to do that. First you want to create that relationship and cultivate a good working relationship with that client before you start launching into a sell. So make sure that you do that outside of the LinkedIn invitation. Tip number six, while you're extending the invitation or even before and especially afterwards, start liking and sharing the content that they are interested in. Perhaps your potential client is creating content but they also might be commenting and liking other people's content. And that's where you can get some visibility is to be active in those online discussions where your client is hanging out. And especially if it's their own content or their own comments, commenting in return will definitely give you greater visibility. So start to do that before, through and post invitation phase. And my final tip is to tag that potential client in content that would be relevant to them. Now you can do this in LinkedIn by simply using the ampersand sign, the at sign, followed by their name. And if they're a connection with you they then receive a notification that you've tagged them in a piece of content. But again, make sure that the content is very relevant for them. And don't do it too often so that they're getting dinged with these notifications continually. But if by being thoughtful and including them on some of the content that you think that they would find value they're going to see you as a valuable resource. So start doing that today with a number of your connections. I've created some templates that you can use when crafting your LinkedIn invitations. And you can find a link to those templates below this video. It's a simple Word document that you can download and then simply copy and paste the invitation text that makes the most sense for that particular client that you're trying to reach out to. So take a look at some of my templates, use them of course change them so that they're more personal and they reflect your writing style. But yeah, use those templates to get onto LinkedIn today and start extending some invitations. Now that you have some tools in hand to start connecting with people on LinkedIn start making a practice of connecting with a few people each week and practicing your invitation skills. Believe it or not, it does take some practice. And the more you start extending personalized invitations the more connections you're going to make in return. And if you need someone to practice on try linking in with me. You can find my profile again below this video. So find my profile on LinkedIn send me a personalized message. I would love to hear from you and see how you're doing with growing your LinkedIn network.

Plus I'd love to hear from you and any success stories you have on connecting with potential meeting planners on LinkedIn.
