Start 2010 with renewed focus for your worklife and career! Please join us for:
Building Your Brand
Thriving in a workplace of constant change requires organizational savvy like never before. Personal branding – how to be yourself with skill – has come to the forefront as the career management strategy for managing your reputation within your organization and marketplace.
We invite you to join us to learn how to build and nurture your brand. From this session, you'll acquire the framework and insights for achieving new levels of self-confidence, building credibility, enhancing recognition as an expert in your field, and advancing your career.
This half-day, highly interactive learning event will show you how to define your brand, assess and invest in your brand currency, describe what differentiates you, expand your network of connections, and identify a strategy to keep your personal brand viable, valuable, and relevant.
If you're looking for a focused efficient way to achieve further success and professional fulfillment, or to refocus your strengths and talents for the next phase of your career, then this session is for you!

Here's what we'll cover:
Everyone has a chance to stand out. Opportunities to learn and grow, to experience new things, to explore new avenues, and yes, sometimes to advance – often depend upon the brand or image you create.
Through actions, words, and performance, you create a brand – an image – a reputation. Allowing your accomplishments to “speak for themselves” is important, but not enough in a workplace that consists of virtual teams, dispersed reporting relationships and matrixed organizations. Marketing is about making connections, knowing your audiences and communicating your value.
A brand worth building is a brand worth managing. Professional success and fulfillment takes more than hard work. Learn how to change, compensate, and leverage your personal brand. Chart Your Course of action for the year ahead!
Participants will receive a workbook and tools for continuing the Building Your Brand process after the session.
