Marketing Maven Public Relations Experts Teach St. Marys Academy Students to Talk the Talk

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 24, 2013

Marketing Maven Public Relations’ Human Resources Generalist, Elicia Hildreth, and Hispanic Media Manager, Mari Escamilla, hosted an interactive workshop titled “Talk the Talk: How to Be a Better Speaker” on April 9, 2013 from 9:15AM to 11:15AM. This workshop is one in a series held in collaboration with the Health Careers Program at St. Mary’s Academy and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Healthy Ties Program. This unique program provides mentorship opportunities and professional development workshops for high school seniors to link young women with professional women mentors to help prepare them for the workforce.

During this workshop, Hildreth established the importance of building self-confidence through public speaking by outlining the foundational skills necessary for individuals to succeed in a diverse array of careers. By using speaking activities such as impromptu timed speaking on an unknown topic and speaking in groups on a common topic, Hildreth provided an experiential understanding of common public speaking situations.

Escamilla shared her own experience of learning to understand English nuances and communicate properly while growing up in a bilingual household. She reviewed the hurdles she faced and helped students through her own anecdotal experience by posing self-reflective questions: what is your strong point? How can you turn your weakness into a strength? What do you feel most passionately about? What skills can you draw on to strengthen your public speaking skills?

Hildreth and Escamilla also covered the fundamentals of being a better public speaker to help the girls of St. Mary’s Academy build self-confidence and experience. “The number of professional women is continuing to increase and it’s important that they enter the workplace with the self-confidence to present themselves as leaders,” said Hildreth. “To be successful, one must possess the communication skills and strategies that are essential to success. It was a pleasure to work with the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and St. Mary’s Academy students and I look forward to seeing these strong women continue to succeed.”

Hildreth’s human resources experience, along with her Board of Directors position for the non-profit organization, Women of Substance & Men of Honor, Inc., provides her with the tools and experience to inspire and engage an audience.

Escamilla recently positioned herself as a thought leader as a moderator of a panel about changing DRTV marketing tactics when reaching the Hispanic demographic at the Electronic Retailing Association’s Direct to Consumer trade show. Escamilla continues to solidify herself a thought leader by sharing her insight as a speaker at the 2013 Great Ideas Summit in Miami. Escamilla was nominated for the 2012 Latino Business Award and recognized by Latino American Who’s Who.

CAYIN Digital Signage Facilitate Meeting Management for New SABIC Academy in Riyadh

Taipei, Taiwan (PRWEB) June 26, 2012

The new SABIC Academy in Riyadh utilizes CAYIN’s digital signage solutions to convey timely information throughout 38 LCD screens in the main entrance, meeting rooms, auditorium, and conference halls. Multiple state-of-the-art technologies were introduced to the new Academy to accomplish this smart building.

SABIC Academy is the new learning center of Saudi Basic Industries Corporation in Riyadh. The new academy has become the benchmark of education facilities in the Kingdom. CAYIN’s digital signage solution is introduced in this project by SMARTECH AV, CAYIN’s premium partners in Saudi Arabia, to replace old-fashioned bulletin boards and create a speedy digital information channel.

“This is the first learning center in Saudi Arabia to use this technology to manage all meeting rooms completely,” said Mr.Yousef Abdul Hadi Projects Manager of SMARTECH AV Co. “We are honored to be selected as the main partner to supply all AV and Digital Signage with room schedule systems for the first smart learning academy in Saudi Arabia.”

The new Academy contains 30 meeting rooms and hosts a wide variety of learning programs, including workshops, summits and training classes every day. Instead of using bulletin boards, SABIC deploys 17” LCD screens (Flush Mount) in the wall outside 30 meeting rooms, along with CAYIN’s digital signage solutions. The screen clearly indicates the meeting topic, start time, and duration of the meeting. Therefore, enrolled trainees can locate the correct class and meeting room easily.

Each screen connects to one CAYIN SMP-WEB4 digital signage player and is managed centrally via CAYIN’s meetingPost software. Equipped with a room booking system, meetingPost enables administrators to process online booking for meeting and banquet rooms.

Therefore, SABIC Academy can edit a meeting list for each meeting room in advance. For impromptu meetings or room changes, the administrator can also input meeting information remotely in the office without running back and forth in the building to change the post.

In addition to meeting rooms, SABIC Academy also installs three 51” LCD screens in the main entrance, two for the auditorium, and two for the multipurpose hall to increase the reach of the Academy’s public announcements. With the help of CAYIN lobbyPost software, SABIC can select a template, enter data, and immediately show high quality video, tickers, web pages, pictures, weather information, and even live TV programs from the satellite.

SABIC Academy is an important education facility for the nation to develop industry leaders in the petrochemical industry. World-class leaders and courses, accompanied by world-class learning facilities successfully enhance the level of education and training and add a new dimension to the advancement of the Kingdom.
