        Tips for Using Facebook Effectively for Personal & Professional Communication:

  • Remember- Effective Communication respects relationships
    (Communication is not one-way. It is not just about information dissemination, dumping.)
     

  • Honor the context of the relationship as post and respond

  • Communication is either in high context relationship or a low context one
     

  • In high context, we can communicate in fragmented, playful ways and listeners understand us
     

  • In low context, we communicate in complete thoughts and sentences for clarity-

  • Serve, support others graciously 
     

  • Be careful how you post- don't embarrass yourself or your friends
     

  • Present yourself well
     

  • Consider tone- Make sure that it is positive and understandable
     

  • Be careful with your news feed- you can select friends for your news feed-

  • Use communication as a process than includes listening
     

  • Express support and interest in others in personal & professional communication
     

  • Whether in personal or professional communication, use pleasant, positive photos/graphics


    ...Speak only what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed...
