You, amplified: Social media for leaders who want to be heard

Social media channels have emerged as the ideal platforms for business and community leaders (like you) to amplify your organisation's messages and establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry or niche.

But maybe you feel like you’ve missed the boat and haven’t invested the time and energy it takes to build your audience. Maybe you’re just not into it or are worried about saying or doing the wrong thing. 

It’s never too late to start - so let’s start well by learning how to amplify your voice using social media.

Some of the important stuff you’ll learn:

  • How to choose the right channel/s for you.

  • How the major social media platforms work - and how to make them work for you.

  • Personal brand development - what do you want to be known for?

  • How to plan and execute effective content - creation and curation.

  • Engagement strategies that work (and don’t take much time).

  • How to use generative AI to save time and effort (but stay authentic and human).

Through real-world examples and hands-on activities, you will gain practical insights and actionable strategies to build an authentic and impactful personal brand, enhance your social media presence, and foster valuable connections.

Mind the Gap: Customer experience for small business

If you’re caught in the content hamster wheel you may be purely in attraction mode. Those hungry social media apps want us to stand out, speak up and capture our audience’s attention. But once it’s captured - how can you nurture, connect and convert?

Some of the important stuff you’ll learn:

  • Why customer experience matters

  • How to identify and understand customer expectations

  • How to audit your customer experience

  • How to map your customer journey

  • Brand authenticity - crafting marketing messages
