FREE EVENT - Using your personal brand to develop your career

Event: FREE EVENT - Using your personal brand to develop your career
 

We increasingly hear via various media channels how important your personal brand is in today, with the constant evolution of the web.  The great thing is that it makes everyone accessible….never before have we had direct access to CEOs of multi-national organisations.  Savvy business leaders have become early adopters of this shift in online behaviour to help grow their businesses.  Richard Branson is a great example, as he has alomost 3 million followers on twitter….the best bit is that Virgin only has 65k followers!  He is a master of his personal brand!

On the flip side, those who are not promoting their personal brand online, risk being left behind in their career, in favour of those who embrace the art of self promotion.  Younger generations are already equipped with the skills needed, as they are growing up in an digitial age and to some extent live their lives out online.  However, what about the rest of us?  How can we make the most of this change and find our ‘cyber voices’ to use this increased visibility, to really develop our own careers?

What will I get out of it?

* Identify your own personal brand for career development
* Discover the art of self promotion
* Learn to be proactive and expand your online presence
* Define your career development strategy
