Andrea Edwards

Andrea T Edwards, CSP, The Digital Conversationalist, is a change agent, provocateur, passionate communicator and social leader. Andrea challenges organisations to think differently about integrity in the digital age. To think differently about the positive potential of social media. And she challenges business leaders to understand that, the tool of business transformation today, is the powerful voices of employees as social leaders. Because it is employees who are the champions and true influencers for businesses in the digital age. When organisations fully embrace this philosophy, social media becomes a catalyst for change. It engages and empowers individuals to serve the communities of their organisation, helps break down unnecessary siloes and hierarchies, while also empowering employees to gain control over careers and destinies. Social leadership unlocks everyone’s potential, because when you own your voice, you own your future. If you want to create rapid and powerful change in your business, change that will fundamentally shift the way you think and act, change that will attract the best talent, empower your employees and draw customers to you, then speak to Andrea about how a social leadership culture can lead your business to achieve incredible results.

I’ve spoken to thousands of people in the last couple of years about personal branding, and I’ve probably run my workshop for close to a thousand B2B professionals so far.

It’s time to get rid of two LinkedIn myths

Leave a Comment / Business, personal branding, Social Leadership, Social Selling /

There are two observations – shared with me in all social leadership courses – that need to be addressed and then we need to move on. They are: LinkedIn is a recruitment platform, you only go there when you’re looking for a job. And You should only connect with people you already know on LinkedIn.

A month off work AND social media unleashed my mind

Leave a Comment / Business, Inspiration, Social Leadership /

I achieved it, a month off both work and social media…. well not 100 percent off, because you know, let’s not be crazy now. But as off as I could be, especially on the professional side.

There is a lot of opinion/discussion around B2B influencer marketing programs, and for certain industries – especially in the consumer space – it definitely makes sense. It’s not the only option, but it works, and in Asia, where celebrities are valuable influencers, the results speak for themselves. But I’m a B2B person and when I
