Слайд 3

6 Social media Principles I believe Carnegie’s tips on how to relate and connect with others are, because of social media, 100 times more relevant today.

Слайд 4

6 Social media Principles In his book, Carnegie shares six principles to connect with others. Here’s how I think these principles apply in today’s digital world.

6 Social media Principles Principle #1: Become genuinely interested in other people

Слайд 6

6 Social media Principles Most people on social media go about things the wrong way. Too many spend their time pushing their products and services.

Слайд 7

Слайд 18

6 Social media Principles Carnegie points out that there’s nothing more important than including the other person’s name in a conversation.

Слайд 19

6 Social media Principles If he were alive today, I’m sure Carnegie would tell you that it’s important to use people’s names or nicknames on social media and the digital platforms.

Слайд 20

6 Social media Principles In today’s busy and hectic world it’s not always easy to remember someone’s name, but that’s why it’s more important than ever.

Слайд 21

6 Social media Principles Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices”. It can take a bit of work and effort to remember a name, but the effort is certainly worth it.

Слайд 22

6 Social media Principles Principle #4: Be a good listener and encourage others to talk about themselves

Слайд 23

6 Social media Principles When it comes to effective communication on social, there is so much to learn and so much to gain by simply Listening.

Слайд 24

6 Social media Principles How do you do this? One way is to ask opened-ended questions that invite a dialogue.

Слайд 25

6 Social media Principles Before engaging others on social, spend time learning a bit more about the other person. What are his interests? What does she enjoy doing in her spare time?

Слайд 31

6 Social media Principles Be real and interact with the other person from a position of genuine interest and curiosity.

Слайд 32

6 Social media Principles Insincere flattery is inexcusable but sincere appreciation in others is mandatory.

Слайд 36

6 Social media Principles There is no hidden agenda, just one human being recognizing the value in another. After all, as Emerson once said, “Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn from him.”

Слайд 37
