So You Want To Teach A Workshop?
More In Media is participating in a super clever and well organized event on Facebook; the January Jig, brain child of Idea Girl Media’s Keri Jaehnig.
For 26 days in a row in January, her Facebook Page is being ‘hijacked’ by her peers for reasons of cross-promoting and idea sharing.
Today, January 19, is our turn. Planned are three set times to appear on the Idea Girl Media Facebook Page and let me tell you:
after nearly two weeks of Jiggers, I feel HUGE pressure to perform. I even made two video posts to put on the Facebook wall, as well this blog post I am writing.
Several past Jiggers have set the bar so high, I need a pole to even attempt to reach to their height!
So… what will I be talking about, do you ask?!
Social Media Training!
We’ll be discussing setting up workshops and we will touch on venues, pricing, goals, advertising, sharing, platforms to use etc. Our main focus at More In Media is on hands-on workshops, as that is More In Media’s signature brand of teaching;
Let the questions rain down on me.
To start the day off right (and to try to reach that bar set oh so high) I’ve made a video for the Jigger fans. Watch it here:
Note: This is the first ever video made of Dorien running! It took only training for four marathons, completing 10+ half-marathons and 5+ years of running to get one of my family members to tape me running.
As mentioned in the video, here are three tools you need for a successful workshop, as well as for long distance training:
- Content (the fuel)
- Visibility (the reflective belt)
- Support (the bandanna)
Tools of the Trade
The experience gained from training for something like a marathon or half-marathon can transcended into other areas of your life.I have learned important lessons about
- Goal setting
- Planning
- Strategy
- Hard work
- Perseverance
- Healthy Habits
- Success
What are you waiting for?
Come join me today at Idea Girl Media and AND ANY DAY on More In Media where you will find a special message today as well.
YOUR TURN:
If you’d like to participate in a jig similar to this one, leave us a comment and we will contact you when we are looking for collaborators for any of our events.

You’re going to knock ‘em dead. No worries. I’ll be there for 9 AM and part of 2 PM. No fears. You’re going to get a lot of participation!
You are really getting this video stuff down!!! I need to get on it too!
See … there is the training part …
Thank you and hope to see you on January Jig today!!
Smiles
Keep up the hard work!
You are so right that lessons learned training in athletics, especially distance running can teach us so much about life! I ran my first 1/2 marathon in 2011 and have plans to run a full this year! If nothing else it teaches the need for consistency! Keep up the great work! Loved your post!
Wow! congrats on your first ever video of you running…I love the visuals and to see you in your environment. I’d be interested in finding out more about participateting in a jig…This is a new concept to me. Feel free to contact me with details
Have a great run tomorrow!
I will keep you in mind if I ever do a JIG.
It has been great for Keri aka Idea Girl Media to get so many guests on her Facebook Page, as well as a lot of new fans.
I might try for something like it, but scaled down.
I am tired just thinking about 26 days of continuous hosting!
Thanks for commenting, Nathalie!
Love the correlation about training for marathons and building your online business, I suppose what we are doing online is training for success.
I have run a couple of half marathons myself in the past and loved the daily running, might have to get back to it one day.
Dave
I am always up for a good collaboration. This was a good reminder for me to get the video in gear! Love seeing you take the lead! Great job!
Oh, I can’t wait to see you on video, Dawn!
That will be so much fun!
let me know when it’s up and I’ll come watch it.
Fondly, Dorien.
Yes, Dave, it is!
I have learned so much from running.
It does apply to life and business.
Thanks for the feedback.
Oooh … love your video, Dorien. Nicely done!
Great props to support a great message.
If you ever decide to do a “mini jig” (instead of dancing the jig for 26 straight days), please keep me in mind.
Melanie, you are the second person to want to be in on a jig.
Hmmm, a mini jig is maybe just what I need, too.
Thanks for the compliment on the video.
If you only knew how many takes it took and how many times I said ‘banana’ instead of ‘bandanna’…
