Laura Tierney is the Founder and CEO of The Social Institute. At TSI, their goal is to help students navigate the social media world in positive and productive ways. Laura believes, "if students aren't healthy, they can't learn."

Through collaboration with students and schools, they have developed the core skills students believe they should have for social media use:

1. Playing to your core values
2. Protecting your privacy
3. Striking a balance for our time and attention
4. "Cyber-backing"
5. Finding your influencers
6. Using your mic for good
7. Handling the pressure

Tune in to learn how you too can be a positive role model for the students in your life so they can #WinAtSocial
