PERSONAL BRANDING – Packaging Your Potential
Presented by: Suzanne Coonan, Principal & Executive Coach at Aerial Leadership, Inc., & former LFGSM VP of HR
Individuals are more likely to hire or refer people they know, like and trust. Just as companies invest in marketing to build the brands of their products, today individuals are finding value in marketing themselves. The product is YOU. Volvo is known for safety and engineering design. Nike communicates best in class sports performance. What are you known for? It is more important than ever that your “personal brand” communicate your expertise, qualifications and how you create value for your current or future company.
In this interactive presentation individuals will gain a better understanding of the importance of articulating and communicating what makes you unique and how to package your potential. You will learn:
