“I went to two social media training courses run by Jennifer for the Guardian. I had very little knowledge or experience of using social media and felt a bit apprehensive especially as most of the other delegates were much younger than me. I have never before sat through a whole day with one speaker and been completely alert throughout, I took in every word. On day one I scribbled 11 pages of notes, I later worked through these putting in to practice what I learnt. I usually have trouble listening to one speaker for more than 20 mins but Jennifer’s presentation was engaging, informative and easy to follow. No question was considered ‘silly’ and soon the audience felt comfortable asking very basic questions.
I learnt a huge amount and more importantly I have become confident in using social media. I keep amazing myself with what I can do. I joined a tweet chat last week and am now planning on hosting one myself. Just a few weeks ago I had not even used twitter. I keep telling my colleagues about the training as I can now seen the benefits of using social media for business and think everyone should benefit as I did from Jennifer’s excellent tuition.”
