Becoming a Social CEO

Becoming a Social CEO – How leaders can use social media and technology to increase their influence

CEOs need to be seen and heard. Both within your organisation and within the broader community. This is particularly important as people do business with people they know, like and trust. Research by recruitment firm DDI found CEO candidates with a social media presence were 46% more influential than CEO candidates without. Those without a social media presence miss opportunities but also risk looking out of touch. In this presentation, Mel Kettle will share real-life examples and practical ideas to help you use social media to increase your influence, build trust, enhance your organisation’s reputation, attract better people and maximise stakeholder reach.

Becoming a Social CEO will be presented by Zoom interactive videoconference (for CCA members only) on:
