A great man once said if your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. That man was John Quincy Adams, a great American statesman who served as the sixth president of the United States.

This quote embodies the work of Batya Maman, founder and owner of Social Connect LLC. Moving to America from Israel 12 years ago, Batya has overcome major obstacles to become the leader she is today.

Teaching herself English while operating several small businesses in Naples, this single mother of three began her entrepreneurial journey by working hard to fulfill the needs of her clients. Her drive, combined with her prior career experience as a computer science teacher, gave Batya an advantage while researching her new career. She discovered there was unleashed power in social media for businesses of all sizes.

Batya began using her knowledge to help Realtors and other small businesses learn how social media works. She also began volunteering with non-profits to help build their social media platforms and increase their audience and Google ranking. From the Friends of Foster Children to helping the Boys and Girls Club promote their events and raise money, Batya still donates her services to numerous local charities.

Fast-forward to present day and Batya is considered a social media expert. She delivers training for some of the most prestigious companies in the country and has partnered with MGE Management Experts Inc. of St. Petersburg, Florida, to help offer social media marketing training to owners of dental practices. She wrote a social media program for MGE and has trained several hundred dentists.

While speaking at a seminar, Batya discovered that for many attendees, their social media assets, potentially worth millions of dollars, had walked out the door in the hands of ex-employees or vendors. She found the majority didn’t know what social media sites they owned or have login information so they could grow their own business.

Patrick J. Clouden, CEO of Consumer Energy Solutions in Clearwater, Florida, says, “Working with Batya has completely changed the way I view public relations, marketing and promotion. And, it has completely changed my appreciation of the power of social media.

Social Connect LLC equips businesses and organizations with comprehensive and coordinated social media programs and training on the latest software and technology to tailor attention-grabbing content that gets results. The mission is simple: connect businesses with people who turn into clients.
