Welcome & Introductions

  • 1.  Chance to Highlight What You Do

    Posted 07-29-2020 13:51
    Hello everyone! We thankfully made it halfway through the week. I cannot believe it is almost August. I hope that this message finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy during these challenging times. 

    The company I work for, The Direct Ascent Group, has launched a new social media project called Leadership Summit Saturday. We will be posting written Q&As with business and industry professionals like most of you. We want to highlight what you do and share it with our audience as well as yours. This would be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to get the name of their business out there. 

    All of you have such outstanding accomplishments that would be wonderful to feature. If you are interested, please contact me through email or my LinkedIn messages. 

    Here is my company email and the link to my LinkedIn;
    kathleenk@directascentgroup.com
    https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathleen-a-kelly/

    Best of luck everyone! Remember to enjoy your summer. 

    Best,

    Kathleen Kelly

    Hi Laurel! 

    Thank you so much for your encouragement. This is one of my first social media projects because I am only going into my senior year of college. This enthusiasm makes me feel like it could be a success for the company even after my internship is over.

    You can view the interviews on our LinkedIn page, https://www.linkedin.com/company/directascent/. 

    Are you interested in participating? It would be wonderful to highlight BGS members like you and Choong-Hong. 

    Best,

    Kathleen Kelly

    Hi Choong-Hoon! 

    Thank you so much for asking. So to clarify "Leadership Summit Saturday" is a theme for some Saturdays on our social media pages. Ideally, we wanted to post every Saturday, but we are a small startup, so getting people to share interviews with us is hard. It is not something that can be attended, it is just a written interview basically. We hope to eventually turn this into a podcast. This was the first interview that we posted so you have an example of it, https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6690311445835505664. We are posting another interview this weekend. Please follow our page to see it, https://www.linkedin.com/company/directascent/. 

    Are you interested in being interviewed? I would love to chat with you more about it if you are. 

    Thank you for your question. Please let me know if this clarifies that for you. If not I would be happy to chat more about it. 

    Best,

    Kathleen Kelly

    Hi Kathleen,

    Thanks for the information and the link. I went to the given link and read the interview. I have learned that it is not only me who has been struggling in the pandemic.

    Yes, I would like to be part of this interview. 

    Thank you very much,

    Choong-Hoon

    Hi, Choong-Hoon!


    I am so sorry for the delayed message. I have been without power for the past few days due to a tropical storm. 

    It is awesome that you want to be a part of this! Please reach out to me on LinkedIn so we can get this process started. 

    Best,

    Kathleen
