If we were to look at our friends, our colleagues and our competitors' social profiles, we'd see lives that seem absolutely perfect. And why not? Social media creates a highlight reel of our greatest accomplishments. But behind the veil of social media, there is great struggle, even for the most successful of leaders. Studies show that social media viewing can increase depression, feelings of inadequacy and loneliness. As we adjust to the new normal of a "society of sharers", there is hope! Comparison is the thief of joy, and Carrie Kerpen will take you through practical ways that you can avoid comparing yourself to others and create your own amazing highlight reel-- and build a business and a life that brings you great satisfaction.

1. Welcome to the
Highlight Reel
- Carrie Kerpen

2. According to
social media, I have
a perfect life…

3. I have a GREAT Business

5. I have an AMAZING family

7. I lost a TON of weight

8. BEFORE AFTER

9. And nothing....I mean
NOTHING....is EVER wrong.

10. And why?

11. Because I don't want to be
one of these people:

12. The Complainer

13. The Oversharer

14. And be careful with your #Humblebrags

15. In fact, as an aside, here's a tip on what
people love to see from you on social
media

16. Parts of your life that interest
you
(e.g. Tonight’s a gym night)
Parts of your life that interest
your mom
(e.g. Work was good
this week)
Parts of your life that interest
most of your Facebook
friends (e.g. I’m engaged!)
Parts of your life that interest
your good friends(e.g. I got a
promotion!)

17. With all its dos and don’ts, is it any
wonder that social media makes us feel
more alone?

18. The reason we struggle with
INSECURITY is because we compare our behind-the-scenes
with everyone else’s highlight reel.
