We live in a world where the social Internet brings unheralded opportunities to grow and develop as a lifelong learner and as a productive employee or entrepreneur. Social media tools are simple, meaningful and necessary in the work we do with others.

My consultancy’s purpose is to introduce social media tools, showcase their benefits and support their use by practitioners and organizations who recognize the value of social media for bringing positive change to people, organizations, networks and community. My services center on supporting and using appropriate social media tools with organizations and individuals so that communities are strengthened, learning is enhanced, networks are stronger and workers are engaging their clients with the most effective tools possible.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
