Through social media and other digital outlets, we can now help others and, in the process "bank" social capital to use when we need it. But to do that means you need to start thinking about creating credibility for yourself before you need it. This presentation will provide tips on exactly how to do that.TRANSCRIPT

Social Capital helps you
stand out + be found for
what you want.

Be Found
• Google your name: do you dominate the
first page of search results? Are you at
least listed? Are you nowhere to be
found?
• Remember, advancing your career means
being accessible and transparent. If you
make it hard for others to find you, you
limit your ability to further your career.

Be Known
• What does someone see first when they
search on your name? Is it what you want
to be known for?
• Social media enables you to showcase
your expertise, your knowledge, your
values – all in a public way that others can
be a part of.

often come back favorably in the future
