About

I’m Bevan Bird, the Inspirational Connector, and I connect people in inspiring ways. I’m uplifting and I promote personal freedom and peace.

Would you like an example? At my first live workshop, I brought together seven Vancouver yoga teachers and showed them how they could practically use Facebook, and together, increase their reach and bring more students to their classes. You can see the photo in the header here on my blog.

More about me… I’m almost always smiling and I’m highly intuitive. I’m a born communicator; both my parents taught English as a Second Language and they loved teaching – their love of teaching infused my being. I believe that “what we learn with pleasure we never forget.” (That’s a quote from Alfred Mercier.) I have a unique and creative way of looking at the world. I always turn “obstacles” or “problems” into opportunities.

Here’s an example. At the age of three, my parents separated due to disagreements in values and goals. My dad wanted to continue adventuring, while my mom wanted to settle down and have a family. From this situation, I learned the lesson: get clear on your values and objectives and communicate them to others before you invest a lot of time and energy into a relationship. I now apply this knowledge profitably.

Let me explain. You have objectives. You know the kind of people you want to connect with. You may or may not know how to find or attract those people and connect with them, engaging them in a dialogue that may lead to a mutually beneficial relationship. I help people achieve more by leveraging the power of social networks.

My connections are helping me by connecting me with the kind of people I want to connect with, in addition to sharing my content and helping me build my audience. I’m helping others achieve a greater level of networking success for themselves.

My social media success philosophy is simple:

1. Our lives are enriched by meaningful connection and the gifts we share with people.

2. Connection comes from sharing our stories, which are our greatest gifts, and discovering and recognizing what we have in common with each other.

3. The energy and intention with which we do anything affects the outcome. Genuinely helping people, coming from a place of caring, and giving that service without expectation of anything in return… is the way to be truly successful. Having this attitude while helping people online, in public, can do wonders for your business.

Over the past two years, I’ve helped more than 50 people develop practical social media skills with personal coaching, live events and webinars.

I love connecting with other Awesome people. To me, Awesome people are generally happy, generous, open, loving, wise, successful, trustworthy, uplifting, free and relaxed. We’re creating uplifting experiences and content and building our prosperity together.

My ideal clients are women who are creative catalysts for positive change, who cause others to awaken and break free from their perceived limitations, think bigger and achieve more. Basically, they do good work. Also, they are wise, heart-centred, well connected and affluent and are not very technically skilled.

I help them consciously create and cultivate a highly attractive and enriching social media presence.

I most enjoy working with women because they’re naturally excellent communicators and netweavers and they use their emotions and intuition more. Evoking the audience’s emotions and inspiring them to take action are fundamental requirements for success of a business online.

I’m “all about HEART and SMART”, as Farhana Dhalla said and I am also efficient, systematic and idealistic.

I love making people laugh. And I absolutely love my work – both the art and science of it – and let me tell you… it is amazing what can happen when we put our hearts into our work.

I’ve formulated a system to create and cultivate highly attractive and enriching social media presences, based on my experiences. That is, I help small businesses get more customers and enrich the lives of those they already have.

I’ve created a free online learning system to help small business owners get started in social media or get better results from their social media efforts. You can join us at http://www.thebestsocialmediacourse.com

I also created a home study course for small business owners and entrepreneurs who don’t have technical skills and want to use social media to authentically represent themselves or their businesses online, enrich their community of customers and prospects and attract more leads.
