Fiona Lucas of iRespectOnline discusses the importance of personal branding and online reputation management. She notes that personal branding encompasses people's expectations, network, experiences, promises, reputation and accomplishments. It is important to authentically represent your whole self online. Warren Buffett is quoted saying it takes 5 years to build an online reputation but less than 5 seconds to destroy it. The presentation provides etiquette tips for social media and outlines a framework for maintaining a positive online reputation through respect, responsibility, research and resilience. It emphasizes using multiple online platforms to showcase work and expertise through blogs, websites, social media and professional profiles in a way that is tailored to each channel.
4. LET’S TALK ABOUT “PERSONAL BRAND”
“personal brand” is a euphemism, a shortcut
for expectations people have of us, our
network and personal connections, the
experiences we offer, the promises we make,
our reputation, and our accomplishments –

5. You are a UNIQUE IDENTITY.

9. TOP ETIQUETTE TIPS
• Stay neutral and unbiased – do not let your personal views cloud your
professional response
• Grammar and punctuation matters (use Grammerly if you need to).
• Always read the terms or rules of engagement for groups that you join.
• Use the phone – don’t let email threads get too long, or if you get the
feeling the message is being lost or misconstrued, don’t delay
• If you disagree in an online conversation, stick to facts, and politely and
respectfully share your point of view. Do not insult the other person.
• Use your real name in network groups
• Never post when angry, overtired or after too many wines.
• You don’t have to accept everyone as a friend, but politely explain and
offer alternatives.
