I have recently been reading Sir Alex Ferguson's book on leading which offers an insight into his approached to various different leadership capabilities. It has given me different perspectives on how he handled certain situations and how he coped with problems. Some pieces in there which interested me were his views and opinions on presenting and public speaking. Since this is one of my leadership capabilities I want to improve on I was interested to see what he believed when it came to this capability.

With social media now being as big as it is Facebook seeing over one billion users and twitter with 236 million users it is important to present yourself on these sites in a more professional manor. This is due to more and more employers are looking at the profiles of applicants to job opportunities. Since discussions in our entrepreneurial leadership lectures and seminars about the importance of social media I have created a Linkedin account. This is my current Linkedin profile just having set it up after the discussions in the lecture. I have currently set up my education on there, which will allow people to see what I am currently studying and what I have studied in the past. I have made several connections within the first few days, with both university colleges and several recruitment consultants. As it can be seen with a connection i have here with Robbie Jones, who is a recruitment consultant at Bridgewater Resources UK. He looks at the graduate program there and recruits for that. Therefore he is a good connection to have in order to help access details for future graduate jobs available.
Back in January I created two timetables in order to help my with completing deadlines in terms of assignments and also a timetable to help me keep track of what to study on which day. As an overall experience I feel that the exercise was useful and helped me out in several different ways. However there was a few cons which I believe could be improved upon.
