Chat topics, dates and times for October 2012

We’re excited to start our eleventh month of #AWCchat:  a one-hour, weekly online chat on Twitter where we discuss a variety of communications-related topics.

Nope, you do not have to be an AWC (Association for Women in Communications) member or a woman to participate.

The chat is held weekly, for one hour, 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. CST (Central Standard Time) on Thursdays. There will usually be a transcript on our Chirpstory channel if you can’t make it.

Here is a helpful post on how to participate in a Twitter chat, by Lisa Barone. Here’s the plan:

Summary transcript for 12 April 2012 #AWCchat: health and fitness

Thanks to everyone who participated in our seventeenth #AWCChat on Twitter, on the topic of health and fitness when your career choice is mostly sedentary or deskbound.

We subtitled this chat “Sharpen the Saw” – one of Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

Four questions were up for discussion:

1)   What sort of movement/exercise do you recommend if someone only has 15 minutes?

2)  What are three no-fail healthy foods that should always be in stock at your house?

3)   How can we take better care of our inner selves? There’s meditation, and…. what else?

4)   Give us your top 2 tips for taking better care of yourself. Go!

**  On Chirpstory – the summary transcript for 12 April chat on health and fitness.

The next chat is on Thursday, 19 April, on the topic of capturing the communications power of social photography (photos shared on Facebook/Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest, Foodspotting, etc.)
