52. Connecting through social media

Join leadership communication strategist Mel Kettle as she explores how you can become more successful in business and in life by becoming more connectable.

Mel has almost 30 years of experience working with leaders and teams that want to build connected and trusted organisations.

When we connect first with ourselves, we are better equipped to communicate and connect with others, leading to stronger and healthier relationships.

In this episode I talk about:

• using LinkedIn for business

• building a strong online presence.
