Personal Empowerment
A Brand Called YOU
Why?
Personal Branding is about identifying and then communicating what makes you unique and relevant and differentiated for your target audience, so that you can reach your career and/or business goals. If you understand your strengths, skills,
passions, and values, you can use this information to separate yourself from your competitors and really stand out.
Personal branding is very powerful because it sends a clear, consistent message about who you are and what you have to offer. A strong, authentic personal brand helps you become known for what you’re good at, sets you apart from everyone else, and can position you as a niche expert.
In this programme we look at what gives your work purpose and meaning. We explore your strengths and understand how we can use our values and attitude to shape your role in the workplace.
