Description

As women leaders, the way we show up—at work, in our communities, and around decision-making tables—matters. Your personal brand is more than a buzzword; it’s a leadership tool that shapes how others perceive your credibility, influence, and potential. 

In this engaging session, we’ll explore how to build a brand that reflects your strengths and values with intentionality. We’ll unpack the difference between personal brand and reputation, and discuss the four key traits of a powerful brand: credibility, relevance, impact, and inspiration—and how to lead with each in mind. Then, we’ll dive into the 4 C’s of brand-building:

• Capability – Show up with excellence and own your unique strengths
• Career Clarity – Define & articulate your career goals using your “VIPS” (Values, Impact, Passions, Strengths)
• Consciousness – Build emotional intelligence and self-awareness
• Connection – Cultivate meaningful influence across levels and networks through your personal “influence map”

Whether you’re aspiring to lead or already making an impact, this session will equip you with the tools and confidence to elevate your personal brand, amplify your influence, and lead with purpose. 

Space will be limited, so reserve your seat now!
