Biography

Public speaking comes easy to me, and I'm known for informative and fun talks on Social Networking, including Understanding Social Media, The Power of LinkedIn, Using Twitter, Blogging Basics, Pinterest for Business, MailChimp Newsletters and other customised topics.

I spend most of my time helping professionals, entrepreneurs and teams understand and use online marketing and social media in the best way for their industry or business. This takes place via talks, workshops or private consultations - look at my website for contact details and dates for upcoming workshops.

While technology has always been a huge part of my life and career, I love working and interacting with people. Combining the two is ideal, so I choose projects where this is possible.

My 5 top talents are: Communication, Activator, Maximizer, Strategic and Individualization - according to the Gallup Organization's Strengthfinder.

Roger Hamilton's Wealth Dynamics profile shows I'm a STAR, creator, supporter.

JoomlaDay, Cape Town

Retha hosted a session on integrating your business with LinkedIn at the recent JoomlaDay in Cape Town and it was really an eye opener. I don't believe that there was a person in the room who didn't learn a great deal, and for the first time start to understand the enormous role that the social media, and LinkedIn in particular, can make in one's business.

I would certainly recommend her to give you some serious help in this regard as she knows her stuff for sure!

Brandheart

Retha has an incredible ability to create sense out the of complexity that is social media. And she does it in a way that's not only informative, but light-hearted and entertaining as well.
It's clear that Retha has in-depth knowledge of her subject which she shares willingly, patiently and in a language that's easy to understand. Whenever I've suggested Retha's talks or workshops to clients, the feedback has been glowing. Highly recommended.

I am impressed by Retha's ability to translate technical jargon into clear language as well as her grasp of marketing trends. After every meeting or attending one of her talks, I am enthused and moved to action.
When I have a question about using LinkedIn, Social Media or applying technology to a marketing question, Retha's is the name that comes most readily to mind.
