The Internet is full of those claiming to be social media experts and gurus. They often claim to be able to help you translate their expertise to your social media wealth, often charging significant amount of money for their input. This has been an especially new phenomenon in the legal field with attorneys leaving the practice of law to enter the social media arena as “life coaches”.  What does all this mean if anything?  Are their any true objective criteria for someone to legitimately claim social media expertise in any field of endeavor?

An entertaining panel discussion will try to flesh out the fact and the fiction with regards to self-proclaimed social media experts. The panel consists of:

Lewis Howes (@LewisHowes)

Lewis is a previous two sport collegiate All-American, is also the NCAA All-Division Record Holder for the most receiving yards in a single football game (418 yards, currently an unofficial World Record). Lewis graduated with a Sports Management degree from Principia College, and since his retirement from professional football, he continues to stay involved in the sports industry with his work through founding the Sports Executives Association and SportsNetworker.com. SportsNetworker.com is a site that connects sports professionals in the industry. He also represents sports companies and professional athletes with social media marketing and branding.

Lewis is also co-author of LinkedWorking: Generating Success on LinkedIn the Worlds Largest Professional Networking Website. In addition to this book, Lewis helps professionals and companies achieve greater return on the time they devote to LinkedIn and other social networking through his acclaimed training seminars, one-on-one coaching sessions, and corporate consulting programs. He also creates opportunities for online connections to gather face-to-face through his live “LinkedWorking” events around the country.

Attorney Brian Tannebaum     (@BTannebaum)

A former American Bar Association National Trial Champion, Mr. Tannebaum, managing partner in the law firm of Tannebaum and Weiss began his career as a trial lawyer in the largest public defender’s office in the State of Florida, where he handled hundreds of criminal cases. After entering private practice, he was elected to the Board of Directors of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and is one of only two members of the association to have received all three Presidential Service Awards. He is a frequent lecturer, having spoken at statewide and local seminars including The Florida bar Annual Meeting, “Showcase on Sentencing,” “Basic Criminal Law,” “Practicing with Professionalism,” and his own seminars entitled “The Practice,” and “What Every Civil Lawyer Needs to Know About Criminal Law.”
