The power of new media

SOCIOTECHNICALis the word and the keynote

Sociotecnical aspects are what really matters

Technology is not magic…

…technology is human

What really matters: CONTENT

People’s motivation comes from content.

Content should mean interesting things

PEOPLE What’s people interested for? What

other people do

HUMAN RELATIONS THROUGH CONTENT It’s not a computers network but a

brains network. Brains mean people

So pay attention not to machines but people

CONTENT + PEOPLE +HUMAN RELATIONS THROUGH TECHNOLOGY =

PEOPLE IS RELEVANT. MACHINES ARE NOT Only when machines are related to

people become relevant. What people do with machines = SOCIOTECHNICAL

Something that you could do: Publishing your blog Opening a channel inYou Tube and

materials Broadcasting in Twitter in a regular

basis Opening your Facebook texts and

pictures to professional contents Link it all as a unified network

One plus one is more than two Make your friends become your

partners Build up powerful teams Imagine and create inside a group Put together what is complementary

and what is opposed, the same and the different

Try to turn your dream in a professional project together with your friends: “What if…?”.

Work in your personal brand Put your communication skills at work

towards your professional career Create a network shaped around your

personal brand Express yourself, show to the world

what is interesting to you Dialogue with people through social

networks and share views. Build up a professional image of you

through new media

Personal brand: what is and what is not

Is not marketing, is communication Is not self praising, is self confidence Is not searching costumers, is

connect with interesting people Is not public relations, is making

friends Is not a commercial task, is

Personal brand: what is and what is not

PERSONAL BRAND IS:Who you are, how do you live in

the world, what are your skills and how do you relate with people

PERSONAL BRAND IS BUILT:By the content, style, aesthetics

and the way your personal digital network i nteracts with people

Build brand and career together Do not sell yourself, communicate

what you do Let the things you do talk about you Never lie, never cheat, be sincere

and real Say “I don’t know how to” and say

too “I’m really good doing this”

Foster your talent

Follow your intuition and discover what is you like most

Devote your efforts to your deep motivation(and if you don’t have one, go in quest of one).

Do what you do best and what you like the most

Transform your hobby in a profession Run risks, make mistakes, even fail and

fail again… and learn of it all

Everyone’s got talent (even if doesn’ know) Write down what you do best. YOUR

STRENGHTS Write down what makes you fail.

YOUR WEAKNESS Put your strengths to work. ACT

FROM WHO YOU ARE Turn your weakness into strenght. BE

WHO YOU ARE AND NO OTHER PERSON
