Workshop 2: Creating Your Executive Brand

Branding means everything in business. As executives, we work very hard to protect the authenticity and uniqueness of our company's brand, but how often do we show that same level of commitment to identifying and building our own executive brand? What perceptions do others have of your brand? Have you thought deeply about the effectiveness of your brand? How can you strengthen and protect your brand? This interactive session addresses the core elements of creating an executive brand that will increase your professional opportunities, leadership, influence, effectiveness and overall impact. Why let others define you when you can intentionally create your own executive brand?
