Description
Your career is more than a résumé — it’s a brand. Whether you’re just starting out, building credibility in your field, or exploring a new path, the way you present yourself — in person, online, and in your community — shapes the opportunities that come your way. Personal branding isn’t just for entrepreneurs or influencers; it’s for anyone who wants to build trust, credibility, and momentum in their career. At its core, your personal brand is the story others tell about you when you’re not in the room.
At this Lunch & Learn, you’ll hear from a diverse panel of professionals who’ve leveraged their personal brand as a tool for success. From media to marketing to entrepreneurship, each panelist brings a unique perspective on how personal branding can help you:
✅ Build trust and credibility in your workplace and community 🤝
✅ Elevate your presence online and offline 🌐
✅ Attract opportunities that align with your goals 🎯
✅ Communicate your value with confidence 💬
Why it matters: Your personal brand is already being formed — in how you show up, the relationships you build, and the reputation you carry. This session will help you take charge of it and use it intentionally to open doors, grow your network, and elevate your career.
