ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: 

 

You Had Me At Hello………..how personal branding can be used to build your reputation, career and network.

 

What can you do to be successful in your career when it appears that many have the same skills and experience that are often viewed as operational and functional?

 

How can you initiaite the contact or conversation and not make it appear like its all about you?

 

Personal branding allows us to differentiate ourselves by authentically aligning more with who we are with what we do, working on projects and seeking out opportunities that feel right because the objectives and goals are more in line with the direction we want to go.

 

Technology today is rapidly changing the way that we meet, interact and stay in touch with people. But virtual or in person, good networkers know what to say in the right situation – be it meeting someone for the first time, re-connecting with a contact or having to save or resurrect a relationship that is going sour.

 

In this interactive and entertaining workshop, participants will learn some of the key aspects and tools that will enable them to both determine what it is that makes them unique and then how to engage with the people who matter and be the source of help that others come to and rely upon.

 

You will be able to walk away with:

a simple three step approach to make build your personal brand and an approach that makes networking enjoyable and fun and part of who you are

action steps to build, maintain and grow your network

a list of valuable resources and recommended reading
