Why am I an authority?
RISE is a systematic process that enables ethical and effective networking.
An Effective Organizational Structure:
Social Networking – How to use it wisely
• LinkedIn – What does your profile say? • Who is in your network? • Do you Blog? If not, why not? • If you do, what does yours say? • Do you Twitter? Where is the value? • Is Face Book for you? • Visibility – how do you get it?
Play your cards right! You can collaborate more effectively with a full deck!
It’s important to utilize a full deck of cards when playing the game called connecting!
Be connected to an entire room - deliver your objectives and find common ground.
Simply put, “When You Connect, You Communicate and Everyone Wins!”
Make profitable connections!
Crossing Boundaries – no one person needs to lead all the time.
When Roles and Responsibilities are defined, working together is far easier and less burdensome.
A common set of goals can be achieved more effectively when sharing objectives.
