Irene Koehler’s Summary
It seems everyone is an expert these days, or at least they claim to be, especially when it comes to social media. The truth is that this whole area is very new and we're all still learning about new techniques, what seems to resonate with others and what doesn't. For those considering how best to leverage social media, it can be overwhelming and leave some unsure about where to begin.
I don't come from a tech background, so won't speak in code over your head. I enjoy working with anyone interested in learning how to take control of their online identity, build their brand online, and use social media for business or career success.
How can I help you achieve your goals?

Irene Koehler’s Experience

Speaker, Coach, Consultant
Almost Savvy
(Professional Training & Coaching industry)
2007 — Present (2 years )
An avid online networker for several years, I’ve come a long way in navigating the confusing process of creating a virtual presence which best represents the message and persona I’m hoping to convey. I speak frequently on topics ranging from managing one’s online reputation to using tools such as LinkedIn and Facebook. Attendees have appreciated the opportunity to learn from someone who’s learned by doing, someone without any technical savvy to speak of. If you were looking to hear a lot of tech-speak, you’ve come to the wrong place. If you’d like to learn simple, practical tips to determine how deeply you’d like to wade into the virtual pool, visit http://almostsavvy.com or shoot me an email.
If you would like to increase your knowledge and comfort level with technology, tools and networking tips to make your life easier and business more productive, please learn with me. We’re all “almost savvy” and only need the a gentle push to feel we’re ready to try something new. -
