About Lanie James

If I could have any communications superpower, I would manifest the perfect GIF in response to real life situations." This tweet gained me a special invite to an exclusive party at San Diego Comic Con featuring Elijah Wood as the DJ. It also perfectly demonstrates how digital and social media can quickly and efficiently communicate context, intention and messages to a wide and diverse audience. I heard the digital siren song when Facebook was just available to college students and since have achieved a career learning, executing and leading both external and internal digital and social media strategies across four organizations. I also understand change leadership in communications required patience, diplomacy, and tenacity to educate and inform stakeholders about the benefits (and risks) of digital and social integration into the business. Social media for any organization requires compliance and risk management to avoid entanglements with the SEC, NLRB, FTC and other regulatory entities. In the Workplace: Adaptable, Servant Leadership, Analytical, Work can be fun Specialties: Social media/digital strategy and execution, training, multi-generational workforce Fun Stuff: NASA fangirl, Star Wars geek, aspiring astrophotographer, wannabe hiker, golf hacker and bookworm.
