At least for now! And LinkedIn is a highly reputable and accepted platform.

Tagging in speakers is a powerful technique because it extends reach to THEIR 1st level connections. Speakers have large networks! If they engage by commenting back (and most will), you're rewarded with MORE engagement / views! It's a simple and brilliant technique I use for all my talks. </p> </a> <div class="contribution-list flex justify-between flex-col items-start gap-y-2"> <time class="contribution__time font-sans text-sm text-color-text-low-emphasis"> Brenda Meller🥧 contributed 7 months ago </time> <a class="insightful-button rounded-xl border-solid py-0.5 px-2 flex text-sm gap-1 hover:no-underline btn-secondary-emphasis" href="https://www.linkedin.com/advice/1/heres-how-you-can-maximize-your-messages-reach-i7kwf?contributionUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28urn%3Ali%3AarticleSegment%3A%28urn%3Ali%3AlinkedInArticle%3A7203093628158664704%2C7203093630176157697%29%2C7214379467685670912%29" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_contributions_contribution-insightful-link" data-tracking-will-navigate> <img alt="Insightful" class="lazy-load w-2 h-2 bg-white rounded-full" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/byjfih68cazgghr6pv616zma1"> <span> Upvote</span> </a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="contributions__list-item-wrapper"> <div class="contribution-item my-2"> <h4 class="font-semibold text-lg leading-regular"> <a class="contribution-title-link text-color-text hover:text-color-text focus:text-color-text active:text-color-text" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_contributions_contribution-title" data-tracking-will-navigate href="https://www.linkedin.com/advice/1/heres-how-you-can-generate-creative-ideas-social-media-gvxef"> Here's how you can generate creative ideas for social media campaigns through effective brainstorming. </a> </h4> <a class="hover:no-underline active:no-underline visited:no-underline focus:no-underline" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_contributions_contribution-body" data-tracking-will-navigate href="https://www.linkedin.com/advice/1/heres-how-you-can-generate-creative-ideas-social-media-gvxef?contributionUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28urn%3Ali%3AarticleSegment%3A%28urn%3Ali%3AlinkedInArticle%3A7212217606638882816%2C7212217608341774336%29%2C7212584282584743936%29"> <p class="text-md leading-regular my-1 line-clamp-3"> I recommend bringing in a cross functional team to brainstorm together.

Toastmasters is an international organization dedicated to the improvement of communication and leadership skills. Many know Toastmasters as the "public speaking" organization. I have been an active Toastmaster since 2007 and in addition to my home club in Troy, I support many clubs throughout southeastern Michigan including the two clubs that meet at Walsh College. I joined Toastmasters for me and I continue on with Toastmasters to help others. I am proud to have earned my competent communicator (CC) and competent leader (CL) designations.
