San Diego – 26 & 27, May 2011 – Networking
San Diego – May 26 & 27, 2011.
After visiting the Zoo in Dallas – why would Lesley go to San Diego? To go to the Zoo, of course. The San Diego Zoo is world famous and a trip to the US West Coast just demands a visit to their zoo. She is already getting good advice on LinkedIn on the best ways to visit the zoo.
Lesley has a wide range of contacts on LinkedIn in San Diego, too, which makes this a great stopover in Nana’s Walkabout around the US. It’s amazing how widely Social Media connects you across the world. There is actually an AFL footy club there – the San Diego Lions but we are not sure what they might be up to on a Friday night.
If you are in San Diego, she would love to meet up with you on 26 or 27 May, for
- coffee,
- lunch or a
- chat with you and a group of your friends, who would like to meet an Aussie Nana who is a little out of the ordinary.
Do you want a guest speaker for an event?
If you want a guest speaker for your networking group, she is very good – whether it is for fifteen minutes or forty! She is an excellent public speaker on topics like
- Networking For Business,
- The Six Words Of Excellence For Success In Small Business
- Identifying Your Ideal Client.
- Is Social Media is right for your business?
She will be happy to present one of these four topics for your group and show how her forty years of business success has prepared her to launch her new career at Stories My Nana Tells.
Reading to groups of children
If you would like Lesley to read two or three of her stories to a group of children, who would like to hear some of her writing, she would love to do that. Reading to children in Libraries and at parties is a favourite of hers and the children really love the stories.

Well, we also love the zoo in our family. When I first had baebis a wise women told me to take my kids to the zoo because it is such a wonderful multi-sensory experience. You can see, smell, hear & touch plants & animals. It’s a great learning place- for everyone from little baebis to really old baebis. That same wise lady usually gets our family a zoo pass, so we have been to several zoos in our travels. So, the only zoo that I know of that rivals San Diego (both in my opinion & in the polls) is the Columbus Zoo. It’s a Jack Hanna Zoo with about 7000 animals. (San Diego has just over 4000.) You don’t find more than that unless they are counting aquariums. Another great zoo is the National Zoo (DC). I also really like the Cleveland Zoo. It’s actually amazing to me how much better the zoos are in the east. (More taxes, I guess.) However, I do think the Oakland Zoo & SF Zoo are pretty good now they they have make some improvements. Here are some other good zoos you should check out if you get the chance: Pittsburgh, Philly, Bronx, Phoenix, Cincinnati. (I also hear the Indy Zoo is good, never been there.) Another zoo that I want to go to is the one in Chicago (called by another name). There are also some great aquariums & zoo like places, like Sea World, that are amazing. Have Fun!
Thank you, Todd. I did have a great time at the San Diego zoo and also at the Dallas Aquarium. Because I am a great lover of dolphins, I never go to places like Sea World because I dislike seeing them held in captivity and made to do tricks. I will try and get to the Columbus Zoo, if I get the chance. I did not realise it was so well populated.
