Today, I presented the social media strategy that I had developed for my current employer. During the developmental process, I realized how much I already know that I had not given myself credit for! Quickly, I became the resident social media ‘expert.’
I really enjoyed the entire developmental process. I successfully integrated my personal passion for social media with my job! Now, I know what it feels like to get paid to do what I love instead of doing what I do to get paid.
I am proud of this strategy, though I will not be implementing it. When it comes to social media strategies, I would rather ‘teach to fish’ than ‘give a fish,’ whether it be for marketing/promotion, fundraising, or advocacy. I think that it is so important to build capacity and share the knowledge and skills.
I look forward to more opportunities in social media strategizing and coaching!
