Your “brand” is what people say about you when you are not in the room. Personal branding is your “story” about what you bring to the table in a host of situations and contexts. It is often said that if we don’t take control of our own brand, other people will. This course will help you explore who you are and what skills and competencies you represent to your community and organization. It will also provide you with tools and strategies to help you directly influence how your value-add is perceived. Get ready to explore three components of personal branding: motivation, position, and connection. Within those three concepts, you will examine core values, personal vision and mission, and creation/revision of personal collateral.
Through this course, you will gain:
• Tools for effectively creating a compelling presence and raising your visibility
• Strategies for taking control of how you are represented to the public
• Techniques for developing a bigger and more authentic representation of you and your skills, value-add, and competencies
