Using Social Media as aMentor or Coach
WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA?
- A modern way to communicate via the internet
- Express or promote views and identity
- Assists meeting new people, keeping up with friends, communicating with brands, arranging or promoting events or sharing files and photographs.
- Today, we're specifically going to be looking at how to use social media as a Mentor or Coach
THE BIGGEST SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORMS
Disability Sheffield are looking at expanding their reach and helping Coaches and Mentors in new ways through social media.
We're also looking at ways that the Mentor/Mentee Coach/Coachee relationship can be improved through social media.
AND the ways that you can learn more about coaching and mentoring through social networking.
Lets go over the main platforms...
1. Disability Sheffield Website- Provide a hub of information- Trining E-books- Social media profiles- Blogs
2. Blog- Like an on-line diary with magazine-style articles. - The Disability Sheffield blog will provide help and training in bite sized pieces.- There are thousands of good blogs on-line about Mentoring and Coaching.- You could write your own blog, to share your knowledge and experience.
HOW CAN SOCIAL MEDIA HELP YOU
GET THE MOST OUT OF BEING
A COACH OR MENTOR?
- Talk to other Mentors or Coaches as a group, sharing tips or advice. Either on a Google Hangout or through Google or Facebook Chat.
- Talk to your Coachee or Mentee through Google Hangouts, Google Chat or Facebook Chat.
- Get information about Coaching from other sectors which you can apply to your own situation.
- Share your knowledge and experience to a wider audience (bearing confidentiality in mind).
- Stay up to date with the latest from Disability Sheffield and provide your instant feedback.
- Attend webinars from Disability Sheffield.
CONNECTING WITH OTHERS
- Friend requests- Have to approve request before they can view your information- Privacy settings
Google+
- 'Circle'- Users can circle you, without you circling them and vice versa. - You 'allow' people to circle you.
- Profile not private, users send you 'connection requests' which you accept to become 'contacts'.
- Can privatise your profile so only accepted 'followers' can follow you. No obligation to follow back.
PRIVACY AND SAFETY
- You can block anyone from seeing your content on any of these sites.
- If anyone becomes abusive you can report them.
- You are more than entitled to politely ask someone why they'd like to befriend you.
- As a new user make your profile as private as possible.
- Don't accept friend requests from people who you have never met or heard of, or have no mutual groups or interests. Espeshially if they are from a foreign country.
- Don't put any private information about yourself, bank details, details of your holiday dates, if you are alone in the house or are feeling lonely, sad or vulnerable.
- It's important to have a strong password. Accounts can easily be hacked as most people in the world tend to use the same 20 passwords.
ETIQUETTE - It's fine to disagree with people - a lot of people on the internet are up for discussion and debate.
- Don't post any racist, sexist etc comments or violent threats. Anything you 'say' is in text and could be taken to the police as abuse.
- If you have heard a rumour about someone do not post about it online. You can be sued for libel or defamation.
- Be nice :)
