Social Rabbit Lovers
Below are comments received from happy Social Rabbit clients
“We are so grateful to have stumbled upon The Social Rabbit, and been enlightened by Lara’s amazing MOCKS story and social media prowess over a 2 hour workshop at UTS. Lara is down-to-earth and honest – her ability to tell it how it is was very refreshing, and was a huge eye-opener for our students looking to launch their own business or start their professional careers by setting up their profiles online. Lara was funny, thought-provoking and informative – our students took away a lot of great tips and the encouragement that business doesn’t always go 100% to plan! We look forward to inviting Lara back to UTS again next year.”
Caitlin Hill, UTS Speaking Event, October ’11′
“Lara Solomon hopped into Holroyd and blew us all away. If you’re looking for an expert on social media than look no further. The Social Rabbit will enlighten you to the world on social media and assist you in identifying which tools to use for each purpose. If you’re in business you will learn methods in using social media to grow your business.
If you’re into events and activities Lara will point out the best social media tools to use to spread the word. For 3 hours she entertained and enlightened the members from the business community and government local government sector.
If it’s social media skills that you need call on the social rabbit ~ Lara Solomon.
Di Tulloch, Holroyd City Council Speaking Event, September’11
“I gained a lot from this seminar, Lara has so much modern knowledge and wisdom to offer. Before the seminar, I only had general knowledge of the mainstream social media platforms but Lara really broadened my understanding of the many social media channels available.”
Leesa Stephenson, Holroyd City Council Speaking Event, September’11
“There is so much to say but in a nutshell this was the most amazing experience. I have attended other seminars and workshops but being amongst some of the most inspirational women (who are also mums) at the Ausmumpreneur Conference 2011 in Sydney was by far the only one which deserved 5 stars….I have walked away completely inspired and with so many ideas for my business – which I certainly didn’t have before that fantastic weekend. Thanks to Peace and Katy and their team and to all of the amazing speakers to were so thought-provoking and gave us all something to aspire to.”
Hazel Theocharous, AusMumpreneurs Conference, September’11
“AusMumpreneur Conference 2011 was the first one I have attended. I can honestly say that I learned so much about my business (confirmation of all the wonderful things I am already doing) as well as myself personally. I have walked away from this learning weekend, with confidence, expertise and a sense of achievement in all that I do, and all that I will continue to do in order to develop further in my business. Every single speaker was insightful and inspiring, I really wished I could have attended all of the break out sessions (the staff were wonderful in photocopying notes for me!) I will most definitely be recommending this conference as a MUST ATTEND to all business women that I know, I will definitely be back next year. Thank you to Connect2Mums for putting together such a professional seminar, it is greatly appreciated.”
Nicky Johnston ex Dymott, AusMumpreneurs Conference, September’11

Lara Solomon was highly knowledgeable, engaging, concise while open to interaction with the audience (I suppose exactly what social media should be like!). Thank you for a very well-run session. For me, I found it quite inspirational in terms of ideas for my business. Thank you for such a well done workshop”

Karen Staunton-Ross, AILDM, AILDM Talk July 2011
“This is one of the best workshops I have ever been to. The content was incredible but Lara spoke in a language that ‘no-tech’ people like me could understand! best part was that it was so interactive and hands-on, and I have walked away with a much-improved Facebook site and a great understanding of how I can continue to improve it. Thank you soooo much!”

Lara aka The Chief Rabbit’s knowledge of social media is second to none. She is insightful and delivers the content in an easy to understand manner. I’ve learnt so much already. Thanks!
www.IndianSinglesIntroductions.com.au, Sept 2010
The most informative social media session that I have been to in the whole of Small Biz month!
Karen Vella, Social Media Explained, Sept 2010
@LaRoo (also @socialrabbit ) Yay and thank you to Lara for helping me with cool geeky stuff today. She a social media whiz! #followfriday
@Salisburydowns aka Caro Webster, Sept 2010
I have just had the BEST ever training session with the Chief Rabbit. I learnt so much in such a short space of time, I really didn’t realise how much was involved! Lara’s knowledge and ability to explain ‘social media stuff’ in a way that anyone can understand is just fantastic. I would highly recommend attending an online webinar or actual social media training session to anyone with a business, big or small, you will gain a wealth of knowledge that can only enhance your busiess presence. Thank you again Lara for such a unique opportunity.
Maddy Gentle from StitchnBead, August 2010
As unashamed ‘digital immigrants’ we called on Lara to help us tap the potential of LinkedIn as a business building tool. Lara has a great down to earth style, no question was too silly, and she clearly has a wealth of knowledge about all things social media. One of the things we loved was that Lara helped us write our profiles (with great hints about what works and what doesn’t), and she also set us goals to achieve in the next 3 months (and she’ll be checking on us to see if we do it). Starting with nothing we ended up feeling confident we could navigate our way around LinkedIn…we are more than happy to recommend Lara to businesses of any size or need.
Jo Adams & Tracey Rankin from Yellow Door, August 2010
I had already been following Social Rabbit on Facebook, but in coming to Lara’s session and meeting her in person, I am blown away by her wealth of knowledge in 2 hours, and cannot wait to come to the next session.

A big thank you for your very professional delivery of the Media Workshop today to our group. Everyone I have spoken has said the information you provided was very valuable and they are all inspired now to go back to their offices and become Facebook proficient. Providing the additional information via your website is a value added bonus and they all appreciate that, coming from not for profit sporting organizations. Every little bit of help is snapped up!
