1) You’re approaching a stakeholder on training development and want to sell them on the power of social media. How do you convince stakeholders to adopt a model, like TikTok, as a vehicle for learning?
2) What is the difference between being a social media marketer and a strategist using social media models? Why did you decide to go the route you did?
3) Social media trends move quickly and with the new year right behind us, where should you look for trends in the L&D field and how do you know if they’re worth the effort?
