Here's how you can maximize your networking efforts in Presentation Skills using social media platforms.

When you think about network and connections please do not forget about: AUTHENTICITY. In crafting your image present your real self. For both over and under confident, once you have thought of what you want to say about yourself, ask your friends to give you feedback. Sometimes we may be under or over representing our strengths or weaknesses.

Avoid comments with no values. Be ready to accept diverse opinions on a particular topic. Start with the mindset that your idea is to spark a discussion on a topic, not to seek convert. Always be open to learn from others by starting your comment with "I have learnt a new perspective; can you share more? I had this opinion that...."

Whether networking or connecting please dont forget (as mentioned before): AUTHENTICITY. We all can know and gauge when people are genuinely interested in our conversation. Similarly others can tell as well. One thing that i have heard from numerous people that they remember when someone was genuinely interested in what they were saying. Its harder to do that in an online space but it is possible.

Clutter makes it difficult to absorb and often makes it harder to understand what you stand for. We shouldn’t bombard people with content. Dont share with no intention. As mentioned earlier please don’t loose sight of authenticity.

Start by identifying and connecting with professionals, influencers, and organizations relevant to your field of presentation skills. Send personalized messages highlighting mutual interests or experiences to foster genuine connections. Engage with their content by liking, commenting, and sharing valuable insights to establish credibility and build rapport. Additionally, actively participate in industry-related conversations and forums to expand your network organically. I've found personally, that by reaching out to individuals with a clear purpose and demonstrating genuine interest, I've been able to forge meaningful connections that have led to collaborative opportunities and professional growth.

Joining relevant LinkedIn groups, Facebook communities, or Twitter chats dedicated to presentation skills can provide valuable networking opportunities. Contribute thoughtfully to discussions, share valuable resources, and offer insights to showcase your expertise and establish yourself as a valuable member of the community. Actively engage with group members by offering support, seeking advice, and collaborating on projects to strengthen connections and expand your network.

Connections are based on genuine interactions. They require listening, responding and following up. You may have numerous contacts but connection are people who know you and value you. For that you need to be genuine in your interest and interaction.
