Career Management: Developing Your Personal Branding with Kevin Susman
To compete and win, brands must effectively communicate the answer to why they are relevant, why they are essential, and why they exist. The same applies to individuals: a strong personal brand can be just as crucial to career growth as performance. In this interactive session, you’ll learn how to use brand strategy and SWOT analysis to define and express your value to key decision-makers, such as hiring managers and recruiters.
You’ll walk away with practical tools for self-discovery and a solid foundation for crafting an authentic, effective elevator pitch that sets you apart.
If you missed the virtual Fall 2024 personal branding sessions and live in the Seattle area, this is a new opportunity to focus on your brand.
Please join us for a light dinner from 4:45 to 5:15pm. The interactive workshop will begin immediately afterward.
