The question is no longer if, but how you will use social media in your role as a leader.  Because new leaders are emerging in every industry and every country simply by harnessing the power of social media to expand their knowledge, their reach and their ability to influence. 

If you don’t want to be left behind, you need to learn how to make social media work for you.

In this session you will discover:

• Practical (5/7/9) ways social media can expand your leadership influence
• How to use social media everywhere from board rooms to conference halls 
• The biggest mistakes leaders make with social media
• How to track your social media efforts so you know what’s working and what’s not

• How to reach—and influence—a global audience from the comfort of your office

During the session, you will create your own social media plan using just two or three tools that are right for you. You’ll walk out with a step-by-step plan for using social media to advance your role as a leader in your organization and in your industry.
