Partner, Odgers Berndtson

Lina presented to my group, The Council of Women Executives, on the topic of creating an online presence through Twitter and LinkedIn. Her presentation was very well done, and incorporated both hands-on learning as well as a solid grounding in the basic knowledge of social media. Everyone in our group was blown away by what they learnt, and had nothing but great things to say about Lina’s style and interaction with users of all levels. I would highly recommend Lina for your next event.

Lina spoke to my class of 4th year/Honours students at York University on leveraging social media as a career management tool. Her lecture was incredibly informative and engaging. I know the students took a lot from it. I was also pleased with the students – they were “with us” just about the entire time and were appreciative of all the tips and tools that Lina shared. Thank you Lina for a great job!

Lina was incredibly professional throughout, and true to form as a social media expert, came up with great ways to engage our members and audience before, during and after the event. Thank you, Lina!
