The Industrial Age Is Dead,
Welcome To The Social Age

Social media has become an insurmountable market force
It is now A World Gone Social

A World Gone Social has changed how we:

  • Innovate,
  • Collaborate,
  • Serve our customers,
  • Hire and develop team members,
  • Motivate others toward a common mission,
  • Communicate with stakeholders,
  • Display our character, and …
  • Demonstrate accountability.

The Social Age is about everyone within the organization developing their own brand, and using that brand to enhance the brand-power through employee advocacy.

Today, every manager must embrace social media — for their own career and to be a part of what their team, and perhaps the competition, is already doing.

Learn:

  • Managing social employees (the good, the bad, and when things turn ugly)
  • Tips for leveraging social to turn your organization into a customer-first, purpose-driven team
  • Ways to identify your brand champions and internal advocates—and leverage their passion and talent
  • How to enable an OPEN (Ordinary People | Extraordinary Network) circle of collaborators to innovate, solve complex problems, and achieve a common goal
  • How to build a socially-enabled team full of “Relentless Givers”
  • How to become the most valuable player on any Social Age team: the rare Social Leader (so rare we call them a “Blue Unicorn”)
  • How organizations, from the newest start-ups and mom-and-pops to IBM and their 400k+ employees, are turning each team member into brand ambassadors
  • How some companies doing social now—including early adopters—are doing social all wrong
  • And much more!

This webcast explores how companies can leverage their managers to become active participants in this 24/7 conversation.

What Is Your Thinking Style?

We all use a variety of thinking styles in our daily lives, but we tend to favor some but rarely use others—and that hurts our ability to make good decisions.

The Seven Powerful Thinking Styles:

  • Analytical
  • Inquisitive

  • Truth Seeking

Knowing your preferred style will help you approach problems and decisions with the right mindset so you can be more successful.
