Ep 26: How to be a Social Leader with Damian Corbet

In this week’s episode of the Influence & Impact podcast for female leaders I’m talking to Damian Corbet, author of The Social CEO about how social media can make you a stronger leader.

We cover what it means to be a Social Leader, why as leaders we should be engaging in social media and how we can avoid some of the pitfalls.  We talk about having an authentic and credible voice online and reflect on this new era of transparent and open leadership.  We also explore how you can build your personal brand and grow your network of connections using social media.

This conversation really opened my eyes to the potential of social media for leadership and career development and I think you’ll find it relevant whatever level of leadership you’re at now.
