🎤 Highlights from my talk at the Information Officers Meeting hosted by Philippine Information Agency - Misamis Oriental.

I had the incredible opportunity to speak about maximizing social media platforms like Facebook to foster connections.

Here are some key points:

1. Personal Connections: Social media is a powerful tool to stay connected with friends and family. Share updates, celebrate milestones, and offer support in real-time.

2. Government Information Dissemination: Leveraging Facebook allows government agencies to communicate quickly and effectively with citizens. From public service announcements to emergency alerts, it’s an essential tool for transparency and engagement.

3. Business-to-Business (B2B): Companies can use Facebook to build professional networks, collaborate with partners, and share industry insights. It’s a space for thought leadership and strengthening professional relationships.

4. Business to Consumer (B2C): Engage with your audience directly through Facebook. Share product updates, run promotions, and provide customer service. It’s all about creating a two-way conversation and building brand loyalty.

Let’s harness the power of social media to connect and communicate better than ever! 💬✨

I am deeply honored and grateful to the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) for inviting me as the Resource Speaker for the Social Media Management training during the Misamis Oriental Information Officers' Virtual Meeting.

It was a privilege to cover the crucial topic of "Maximizing Facebook for Content in 2024" with such an engaged and enthusiastic audience.

Today's session brought together 39 dedicated participants from various Local Government Units (LGUs) and National Government Agencies (NGAs). Their active participation and insightful questions truly made the training a rewarding experience.

Thank you once again, PIA, for this wonderful opportunity. Let's continue to harness the power of social media to inform, educate, and connect with our communities!

👨🏻‍💼👩🏻‍💼”Clients appreciate more than just your skills; they value your enthusiasm and heart. “ Maya Angelou

This quote reminds us that clients don’t just care about how skilled we are; they also appreciate our enthusiasm and heart. 🤍

Enthusiasm means being genuinely excited and passionate about our work. When clients see our enthusiasm, it makes them feel positive and valued. 🤗

Heart is about showing empathy and sincerity. It’s about understanding our clients’ needs and working with them in a caring and supportive way.

So, while skills are important, showing enthusiasm and heart helps us build strong connections with our clients and makes our work more meaningful to them. 🤝

A sweet gift from our City Mayor as I covered the People’s Day Special Event in celebration for Valentine’s Day 💐♥️

✴️ Is it shareable?

✴️ Is it interesting?

Here are some additional tips for creating great content:

We need more authenticity on social media. 📲

Consumers today want something credible and real.

What used to work before doesn’t work anymore.

Authenticity on social media refers to being true to oneself and his or her values.

That means not putting on a facade and pretending to be someone else.

How to be authentic? 💁‍♀️

Be yourself.
Be relatable.
Be vulnerable.
Be kind and honest.
Be accountable.
Be real.

Your personality online should be the same offline.

Create meaningful and purposeful content that provides value to your audience.

Be authentic.

Your future self will thank you for it.

Remind yourself that being “the best” is not about pushing yourself beyond your limits.

It’s about being the best version of yourself through:

— continuous learning
— self-improvement
— enough sleep and rest
— being healthy
— good mental health

Being “the best” is better when you’re fulfilled, happy and healthy.
