Your reputation and image is your most valuable asset.  You carry it everywhere you go, from business to business, employer to employer and person to person. It's vital that online reputations are managed. Do you want to be recognised as a leader in your field?  Be seen as a key influencer in your area of expertise?  Fiona Lucas is the founder of iRespectOnline,  providing training, education and personalised strategies on managing your online reputation, understanding online etiquette , protecting your privacy and staying safe in the online space.  She is passionate about making the online world a more supportive and happier environment for all. Fiona has  recognised the need to bring the concept of online reputation management to the forefront of online education, particularly with progressive generations growing up savvy with social media tools, but perhaps not so savvy with the online consequences of their interactions.    The concept is applicable not just to individuals, but to celebrities and businesses, as reputation and brand walk hand in hand.   Having worked in the education sector for 15 years and then as a social media strategiest, Fiona has seen first hand the damage which can be caused to a reputation through the poor use of social media.   Social media is a brilliant tool for magnifying messages, but unfortunately it magnifies mistakes too.  Fiona has a Bachelor of Commerce Degree, IT Certification and holds her Cert IV Training & Assessment qualification.  Fiona specialises in Linkedin profile building with a particular desire to help young people just leaving school or displaced workers improve their opportunities through a great Linkedin profile. Fiona Lucas has written  "FutureProof your Kids"  the definitive guide for parents seeking to protect their children online (launched in June 2013) .  This complements her current reputation workshops for Schools and Parents, her keynote speaking and her  downloadable series for business and individuals.  http://www.irespectonline.com/future-proof-your-kids-book/
