Discover practical tips for staying authentic, elevating others, and using social platforms to build influence. Whether you're leading a nonprofit or looking to grow your own leadership brand, this conversation will equip you with the insights to take the next step forward.

Takeaways:

• Start from Within: Make sure your internal team, staff, board, and volunteers understand and champion your mission. Internal alignment fuels external influence.
• Prioritize Authenticity: Share real, personal stories in your own voice. This helps build trust and deepens audience connection. Don’t be afraid to show who you are behind the title.
• Use Social Media Strategically: Even simple tactics like tagging people and using @ mentions can significantly expand your reach and engagement.
• Create a Posting Routine: Block small pockets of time, like at the airport or between meetings, to engage on platforms like LinkedIn. Consistency matters more than frequency.
• Leverage Visual Tools: Think creatively about how to drive connections. For example, use a LinkedIn QR code on your name badge to make networking easy and immediate.
• Elevate Others: Use your platform to spotlight team members, partners, and community leaders. Sharing the stage amplifies your mission and builds goodwill.
• Engage Without Overthinking: You don’t have to post every day. Commenting, liking, or resharing valuable content is just as impactful, and a great way to start building your presence.
