During Jessica's session she'll be teaching us that no matter where you are in your career, whether you’re an entrepreneur, a corporate soldier, a C-Level exec or an entry-level manager, you must realize no one does business with products, logos, or brands. We do business with people. The sooner you can identify what kind of person YOU are, the sooner other people will know who you are, what you do and how good you are at doing it. It is only then that you become the person everyone wants to hire, to meet with, to ask for advice, to connect with and to buy from. After all, you might not be your job title for the next 100 years, but you will definitely be you. In this workshop, we will uncover ways that you're subconsciously telling a story about yourself in your workplace, and give you the tools to intentionally manage your own narrative. We will provide the tools and tips to establish your corporate personal brand and uncover your "super power solution" to make you indispensable, teach you how to tell your brand story in the clothes you wear, how to convey your personal brand via email, how to use social media to enhance your message and much more.
