  4. The tools of the trade +

  5. Building a team presence is key, but not enough

  6. Build an individual presence

  7. Shifting Culture: from Competitive toCollaborative

  8. Become a helpful resource – share the work of others.

  9. You may make new friends, but not everyone will be your friend. That is okay.

  10. Sharing more than just our work #911Day

  11. The final step: • Acceptance. • You may be a communicator, even if you don’t realize it. • Improving communications is a task shared across the team.

  12. 5 thoughts from our work • Recognize the shared role in getting the word out. Work with the entire team. • Bring people along at different paces. We all need pioneers and culture change takes time. • Investigate and practice with available channels/platforms/tools to see which ones can be effective. • Don’t get hung up on any single interaction or experience (good or bad) – your reputation is complex and takes time to develop. • Promote individuals and the organization.
