Module Three: Lead and Empower Others

After completing course: Module Two, Part Two: Your Direct Channels and Selling Safely

Welcome to the final part of your journey. You have built your own digital skills. Now you learn to share them, supporting and guiding others in your community so they can sell, connect and grow online too.

Being the person who can teach this is a real skill. It grows your name, your network and your opportunities, and the people you help go on to help others. That is how a community grows, and how new ambassadors are made.

In this part, you will guide an adult learner the right way, one step at a time, so they do it themselves, run a small group and keep everyone involved, keep people safe: handle a concern with care, and spot a scam, and use the Digital Resource Kit, plan a session, and run your community WhatsApp group.
