Elisabeth Goodman's passion is to help people help themselves. The main thrust of her business, RiverRhee Consulting, is to teach and support teams in the use of a wide range of capabilities to help them work more effectively and efficiently.

In this 15 minute overview, Elisabeth shares examples of how she and others have used Social Media tools to support personal and business development, along with some suggestions for how to maximise your ROI.
