Imaginative Training for Social Media

Imaginative Training for Social Media We manage social media and marketing campaigns for businesses that are too busy to do it themselves. Train your team to write in Plain English.

Looking to improve your social media presence, enhance your brand and generally become more awesome on-line? Here are six of the ways I can help you, plus a special treat if you read to the end ...

1. Look after your social media – If you're too busy doing what you do best to worry about marketing, I can handle everything for you!! I tailor full social media marketing packages to suit business’s needs and budgets.

2. Train you or your team to use social media more effectively. This might be in a one-to-one 30-minute Skype session or a half-day group workshop.

3. Update your social media profiles and show you how to be more effective when you’re on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or right here on LinkedIn!

4. If you’re happy handling everything yourself but need a shove in the right direction, I can create a social media strategy that’s realistic, achievable and manageable. I also write time management schedules (because we all need that!)

5. This course ties in perfectly with social media as the principles are essential for sharp, concise profiles, tweets and blogs that people will want to read.

6. Train you or your team in Effective Time Management – because it’s more important than we give it credit for, and because I love training people!

7. Bake blueberry muffins - although only if you ask nicely. Awarded Corporate Vision CEO of the Year 2017 for London and UK Independent Business Honours for Excellence in Training & Coaching.

I first met Michael Manyusa at an event at Porsche, where we got to whizz off together at breakneck speed. He told me about his catering business on a boat, but it’s taken two years for me to actually go there.

Tereza Joanne is fabulous, a floating event space with wonderful food and amazing views of City Airport and the surrounding docklands. Michael’s brother Adrian Manyusa is in charge of the delicious catering – he used to be an accountant, but this is better!

As well as supporting the local community, mentoring BAME students and supporting troubled young men, Michaal and Adrian run a charity in Malawi that provides feeding programs and pre-school education in extremely poor rural communities; their generosity currently supports over 700 orphans.

It was a really lovely evening organised by Newham Chamber Of Commerce, the bonus being catching up with some people I haven’t seen for a while, including Philip Osei-Hwere FRSA, Giles Jackson, Himanshu Jain, Alan Patient and Ilyas Ayub So nice to meet my car parking friend Muni Yinusa – looking forward to catching up later this week.

A special thank you to Mark Kass for hanging around in the car park when my remote key stopped working, and for saving me the trouble of calling the RAC by bashing my key fob against the door frame. It worked - awesome!

A celebrity searched and found me!

It was an absolute pleasure to spend the afternoon with Reiss Boyce, star of Channel 4’s Married at First Sight UK.

With his 64,000 Instagram followers, I felt quite honoured that he wanted my advice about social media marketing after finding me on a Google search.

Born and bred in Essex (like myself), Reiss has the charm and charisma of someone who lives the celebrity high life but is also completely down to earth and lovely to chat with. If you know of any brands seeking a collaboration please let me know and I’ll introduce you. Reiss is a semi-professional footballer and regular gym user who brushes up well for red carpet events – so sports brands or suits would be ideal…

Reiss – it was wonderful to meet you and I’m looking forward to our follow-up.

Thursday evening was fantastic!

My accountants Nordens Chartered Accountants held a charity quiz night to raise money for Breast Cancer Now. With a room full of "not the ordinary" accountants, celebrities and some very clever people dressed in pink, the night was great fun and raised a huge amount! (I'm not actually sure how much...)

Hosted by Shaun Wallace AKA The Dark Destroyer at the lovely Kings Oak in Waltham Abbey - it was well worth the extra fiver to have a snap with him. Other people in the photos include Sharon Brooks, Jan Diamond, Jane Gilbert and my best friend Gill Izen who doesn't really use LinkedIn. We did get quite a lot of questions correct, I'm pleased to say...!

Why will you love it? Because it can make your life easier and increase your visibility with you doing very little.

At last, LinkedIn is following Instagram’s lead and rolling out collaborative posts.

This means that you can invite other people to team up and you both (or all, if more than two of you are collaborating) share the same post. If you don’t have time to create your own regular content, this is a fantastic way for you to acquire shared content with whoever has written it – as long as they want to include you, of course. (It’s great for teams, for example.)

And if you collaborate with others on a post you’ve written – and they accept it, your content will be seen by a much wider audience as it will appear on their profile too. So their network will see it, ultimately benefitting you all. Only the person who created the post can edit it, but all collaborators can view metrics to see what’s going on.

This feature is being rolled out gradually, so you might not see it today. It hasn’t appeared on my screen yet, but I’m excited to know it’s coming…

Many thanks to David Coslett for telling me about this during a brilliant group meeting.

"Nochocophobia" - the fear of running out of chocolate. I suffer with that!!

There is actually a condition called xocolatophobia, a medical term for an irrational fear or aversion to chocolate. I have never met anyone suffering from this.

The pic was taken a couple of years ago in a lovely chocolate café in Soho - I think Dean Street. Does anyone recognise it so I can tag them??

My cat has psychological problems. Some people laugh at that. It’s funny. It’s nonsense. But no, it isn't. It’s happening and it’s distressing for all of us – cat included.

Some people are equally dismissive when it’s a human dealing with mental health issues.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a time dedicated to “breaking the stigma around mental illness, educating the public and promoting emotional wellbeing.”

I’m working towards that for a specific group of families.

As you may know, since my son had a stroke aged 13, I do a lot of work with other families affected by childhood stroke. The levels of distress, anxiety, depression and conditions such as PTSD are sometimes off the scale and can last for decades. I’ve been reading a lot of academic research papers recently, and families’ unmet psychological needs are globally documented; they can continue for years after the child’s stroke. There’s the added financial impact from the additional costs of caring for a child with complex needs, and often a reduced income if a parent gives up work as result - as I did. Relationships can fail and other children in the family suffer too under the burden of all the stress.

I run a Facebook support group for 1800 families affected by childhood stroke and the conversation often turns to emotional wellbeing. It’s vitally important. It’s not something to be dismissed.

My hairdresser was saying yesterday that she teaches her young daughters to always be kind as you never know what someone else is going through.

It’s excellent advice.
