jonathan pollinger - social media trainer

Hello – I’m Jonathan Pollinger, a freelance social media trainer and I’m here to help you love social media as much as I do. Social media can make a huge difference to your business or organisation as they can help achieve your objectives. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok can raise awareness of your business or charity, help you to attract more customers, as well as boost sales and profits. MY BACKGROUND I’ve been working as a social media trainer providing straightforward, practical training for small businesses and charities since 2009…before social media for business was a thing! Before that I’d always been interested in bringing people together using technology, just as social media does today. It’s my speciality and my passion – and I’ve over 110 testimonials on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanpollinger/] to prove it. Over the past twelve years, I’ve worked with small businesses, PR and social media agencies, charities, an MP, local government, business owners, other freelancers and more recently social media influencers. As well as training I provide social media services to B2B businesses via Boost Social Agency [https://boostsocial.agency/]. In November 2022 I launched Pollinger Social Club [https://ko-fi.com/pollingersocial/tiers] for those who want ad hoc social media advice and reporting on a regular basis. Recognising that AI is going to play a huge role in marketing, in June 2023 I launched Power your marketing with ChatGPT and AI [https://www.nilc.co.uk/courses/business-skills/artificial-intelligence/power-your-marketing-with-chatgpt-and-ai/] via NILC. JONATHAN POLLINGER – SOCIAL MEDIA TRAINER’S TESTIMONIALS “Jonathan combines precise technical expertise with a tolerant and humane approach towards those of us who have been a little slow on the uptake with new media.” Martin Horwood [https://blog.martinhorwood.net/wp/], Former MP for Cheltenham. “I’ve been blown away by the number of business enquiries I’ve received from Twitter since my training with Jonathan. Brilliant!” Sarah Townsend [https://www.sarahtownsendeditorial.co.uk/], Sarah Townsend Editorial Limited “The training was fantastic – very much targeted towards our team and what we do, so we didn’t waste time with things that we already knew.” Jo Evans [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-evans-2427a536/], Degreeplus Manager, University of Gloucestershire If I’m not providing training, I’ll probably be out running around Cardiff Bay. I love running the roads and taking part in races as it helps keep me fit and gives me energy. There can’t be many sports where you can continue to improve at my age! A bridge is known locally as ‘Pollinger Bridge’ as I run over it so often. In 2012 I co-founded Laptop Friday, a co-working and networking event, which takes place regularly in Gloucestershire and Devon.

open life science

o illustrate the OLS journey, we use a persona/story of Joy, a mentee participating in the program, and Sam, their mentor, as they progress through their open science training. Joy will provide an outline of a project in their application that they will develop in the program. Additionally, they will indicate their interests in learning particular aspects of Open Science and research. Sam will register as a mentor and list their expertise that they would like to share with their mentee. After the selection process, they will be involved in the following steps of this program: Based on their common interests, they will be introduced to each other as suitable mentee and mentor They will meet every 2nd week on mentee-mentor calls (around 30 minutes). Sam will help Joy evaluate their understanding of the new topics introduced in the program, and guide their progress by providing constructive feedback. Joy will be given assignments before these calls to help them apply new skills to their project. When needed, Joy and Sam will connect with other experts to invite consultation on their project. Joy will participate in online training calls and share insights with other participants in the program. In these cohorts calls, they will be introduced to new topics and resources, participate in break-out discussions, and listen to expert talks. Joy will get to know their peers from the cohort during social and co-working calls. They will share their project ideas, learn about others’ projects and discuss assignments. A final graduation call will allow Joy to present their project to other participants and exchange values. Sam will also participate in mentor training calls and attend topic-based discussions with other mentors aimed at enhancing their mentoring skills. A self-evaluation survey, mid-cohort survey and post-cohort survey will help Joy and Sam in positioning their knowledge in open science leadership before, during and after the program.
