Building a Personal Brand for All Stages of Your Career
Your personal brand: Where does it stand? And how should it evolve along with your career?
Your personal brand “lives” in the six inches between the ears of the people who matter most to you. When they are asked about you, whatever they say is – in fact – your personal brand to that person.
While we all “own” our personal brands throughout every stage of our careers, the key questions are:
- How are you managing your personal brand?
- And how should your approach change throughout the span of your career?
Eric Morgenstern, CEO of Morningstar Communications, is here with some answers.
He’ll begin by providing a philosophical framework for personal brand-building at all career stages, and then quickly move into both strategies and tactics to help you boost your career. He’ll also provide tangible networking tips, and a win-win-win approach to community involvement.
Eric will share a simple yet profound approach for effective personal brand-building. Learn how to integrate your authentic self with personal brand-building techniques to help you generate an accurate perception and trust. Especially in today’s business climate, our personal brand-building needs to be intentional, consistent and thoughtful.
