Be Authentic at all times

This is ESSENTIAL. This is based on who you are. What is important to you. What your personality type is. What your timetable is like. This is all about you.

Be mindful to participate in discussions in an authentic way and not get pulled along by the opinions of others if these are not authentic to you.

Maintain your face-to-face values and use the face-to-face behaviours you would use face-to-face and adopt/adjust them to your online behaviours in connecting, communicating and networking.

And should you ever get caught in a heated debate or a miscommunication I recommend not continuing the misunderstanding on a public forum but make personal contact to check in to see if it simply is a misunderstanding. Often the written word can be misunderstood without all the clues of eye contact, body language and voice tone. Therefore exert self-control and humility. If a simply apology is require. Then be the one to initiate it. Don’t wait for it to escalate out of control.

Initiate and participate discussions that inspire you and motivate you. Surround yourself with likeminded people.

Do listen to opinions other than your own however on occasions, there are times when you can simply, agree to disagree.

Find your authentic voice and get out there and connect based on what your aims, goals and dreams are in business.

Well done on your first training Fleur! Really enjoyed! You made me think, not only of my online communication but my offline communication too (especially the bit about eye contact and not being distracted by phone while in conversation with someone). Thank you for providing meaningful ways to master networking and some really great ideas on how to apply these skills to our online life.
