Social Media: A Friend or a Foe?

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

This was part of my presentation made to the wonderful youths who came from different parts of the country (Nigeria) to converge in Abuja at their Annual Youth Convention. I started by creating a foundation with the regards the use of Social Media- and that foundation is "Self". I redefined the concept called "Self" and linked it to how the youths can participate in "Self Economy" and extend themselves by leveraging on social media tools. How can you reinforce your brand using social media tools? You may want to download the presentation here:
