This is a presentation I put together for a project working with jobseekers who were NOT high-end professionals. A large company laid off bunches of people, and most were retail workers and manufacturers who didn't know too much about online media. I was asked to put together a 4-day training that made it easy, and this is the result. Day 4 was reserved for any advanced material for which the group showed interest over the first 3 days.

Developing Your Social Media Voice and Online LeadershipDebra Askanase
This presentation offers an "online playbook" for how to take your leadership online, and what that might look like personally. Within the presentation are examples, theoretical frameworks, and resources for nonprofit executive directors and other high-level staff who want to use social media personally to further the mission of their organization and translate their leadership online.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
