Workshop Facilitators 

Carlos Hernandez:

I get a huge lift from helping people overcome their fear of technology. I teach by relying on traditional “show and tell” methods, while using the technology at the same time!

My boyhood interest of figuring things out is what motivated me to study civil engineering. After earning my engineering degree at Stanford University, I entered the business world. A Westinghouse Electric Corporation technical sales and marketing recruiter recruited me due to my interpersonal and communication skills, which, in turn, fueled a 28 year technical selling career for Westinghouse and Eaton. My professional career honed the sales skills of determining customers' needs and communicating product value propositions.

A social media career highlight was being asked by Hollis Thomases, @hollisthomases to be a content contributor and Technical Editor of her book, Twitter Marketing: An Hour a Day!

My consulting practice “Social Media for the Uncomfortable” came to be in 2008. Additionally, I served as Nordstrom San Francisco Centre's “Social Business Concierge” for two years, where I engaged with their Facebook and Twitter social business communities.
