A Liz Interview at City University of London!

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 6:33 am

The Schools of Business and Publishing

City University of London

I leave Friday morning to join a collaboration at City University London. I get to meet with members of the Senior & Professorial staff and students of the Cass School of Business, and The School of Journalism and Publishing. The meeting is a two-hour event that takes place on Tuesday, May 13. We’ll be exploring how blogging can make a difference.

I mentioned this to a few of you last weekend in Chicago. It’s something I’m looking forward to — it brings together my background in education, international publishing, and online practice. To say I’m delighted would be an understatement.

I can’t wait to learn what students and professors there are doing. I can’t wait to tell them all about we’re doing. Most of all I can’t wait to have BIG IDEAS about what we might do together.

Is there something important that you think I should tell them?

Business, writing, thinking . . . I’ll be the one with the accent.

Look forward to a series on freelancing by Deb Ng.
Phil Gerbyshak and Diego Orjuela host Open Comments and your computer questions
A new writer named Roads
And other surprises.

    Hi Liz

    Crossing the big water again! If you have time, my famous coffee is always ready for you ;-)

    What I would tell them is to be clear, open and ‘casual’ but honest. Make all ’stories’ interesting and inspiring - not short bullet-point lists.
    The more you tell, the more you ’sell’. You can never have too long stories, only too boring stories ;-)

    Liz, I’m so excited for you. I grew up in London and it is a swingin’ city. Enjoy. What to tell them? You can be inspiration to others, have a business, and meet worldwide friends online. And remember. Everything you write will be there forever. Everything.

    Hi Michelle!
    I’ve been to the UK many times and I can’t wait to see old friends and new friends this time over.

    I can already see the value of asking my question. You always inspire. :)

    Looking forward to your texts and give your son a big double Dutch hug from me.
    I’ll send you a virtual morning coffee then ;-)

    Hi Karin!
    I think we’ll at least get a few texts in. I’ve built up my data account for that. :)

    Liz - How smart of the City University London to include you in their program! What would I have you tell them .. understanding how to use the tools or what I might call “tactics” of social media is important; but how they complement and impact goals is critical. I know you’ll tell lots of stories about social building relationships .. the heart of doing business. Have a blast!
