Tara Chiari, a seasoned Career & Executive Leadership Coach led a leadership development workshop, What’s Your Personal Brand?
Personal Branding is how you package yourself and communicate your unique skills and the value you bring to a team or company. It’s a mix of how you present yourself and how others see you. Building an authentic brand and taking control of it will position you to leave a lasting impression. A personal brand can open pathways to opportunities and boost your career velocity.
In this hands-on and engaging workshop, participants were introduced to personal branding and why it’s essential to your career. A series of practical activities help guide individuals to define their individuality, focus on their values and clarify their purpose. By the end of this workshop, our alumni and friends prepared a compelling Personal Brand Statement and attained a heightened sense of self-awareness towards Personal Image and Executive Presence.
