Upgrade Masterclass: Using social media to advance your business, your knowledge and your career

How can you use social media to really help you get ahead in business and in your career? In this talk, Tracy Playle - a specialist digital communications consultant and award-winning public speaker - will share how you can use social media and social technologies to advance your own career, and enhance your business:

  • How can you use social media to raise your own profile and promote yourself and your skills in business and the job market?
  • How can you use social media effectively to promote your business and how can you cut through the noise online?
  • How can you use social media to enhance your own knowledge, and use it to enhance your career and professional development?

In this fast-paced session, Tracy will share advice, tips and techniques for you to try, new ways of thinking about social media as a professional tool, and her own personal experiences of growing a business and a personal profile through enhanced use of social media.
