Have a great week! Please call out if you're with us! Alright let's rock 'n roll! Hi, I'm Kristen. I'm joining as a student in 's . When I coach, I use the word "stories" for bragging Hey everyone! First time attending ! Social media strategist here looking to learn & network! I think "bragging" has a negative connotation but I think celebrating achievements is a great practice! Yes that word is more socially acceptable (Pardon the pun!) Good seeing you again Rubain! Advice, create a "stories page." The nice thing is you can always add to it (edit it) through time.. "Getting your brag on" Yes it's almost just a difference in semantics! Isn't a resume kind of like a "bragging" opportunity? Always back up your with facts! I share select milestones or accomplishments via Facebook. And always adapt to the needs of either a potential employer or client! OK, nothing against but why aren't you on or have your own ? Let's practice a bit. How about sharing a brag point? I've built programs for myself and clients That's good but put it in the context of why is that good for an employer! Hey students. Just wanted to let you know that is back at its "old" time slot of Tues 9p EST Would "Maintained a gpa of 3.7 throughout my current 3 years at a Univeristy" count? Or is that too broad? So maybe... "Continuously excelled in strategic social media and media production courses"? I like to point out some big name brands that are recognizable, who I've worked w/ in my portfolio Getting these into 140 characters is a little tough! I have both. I use each platform differently. I want to share these moments with my FB audience. Another good example Be ready to go into details! Thanks! I always wondered when to draw the line btw bragging and showing off! LOL You know the old joke about how do you get to ? lol yes. It needs some getting used to.. (I must be getting old!) Practice, practice, practice! Oh yes! I have heard that! // I've been on Twitter since you had to manually put in "RT"s to retweet anyone .@PRMktgSalesI just discovered these today as well! . is great to interact with during (8 PM EST) & . .@PRMktgSalesI just discovered these today as well! . is great to interact with during (8 PM EST) & . Everyone comfortable with about real & relevant accomplishments I actually have a really hard time "bragging". Is there anyway to /practice/ that? Yes, work on your social media profiles & content & join for real practice My FB audience consists of near/far friend, familial, & professional connections (w/intermixing). Before we close.. a homework challenge: Take time to sit down and write out 10 stories that demonstrate your accomplishments I'd recommend using a page for your professional content In big firm consulting it's fact based consulting ! I'd follow a Kristen Sadlier page! You could start a page for content curation for your field of interest. Now you've got me thinking about what I need to "brag" about. 'Tooting my own horn', not waiting for others to notice me. Now I know why you have a 3.7 ! Yes The movie was wrong! They will not come if your just build it! You have to promote it! OK all we'll stop here for tonight! Have a great week & hope to see you next week! Please bring your friends! Thank you guys for hosting! Have a wonderful week! I avoid bragging online/offline, unless it contributes to the conversation. I find bragging can stunt an in-progress connection. Hi Deborah! It's been awhile. <waves> Thanks for moderating! Will be back next week for sure! I think, for my field(s), an up-to-date online portfolio is beneficial. I'm not sure that FB is the platform. I've witnessed friends attempt this. I want a hub that can be shared, but, perhaps, is not Facebook based. Secondo voi cambierebbe il look dei ragazzi de ?
