Personal Branding & Story Telling

“If you don’t tell your own story, someone else will tell it for you.”

Now, in a time when most work is hybrid, change is constant, we belong to multiple teams, work in a matrix, collaborate with more people, and our reputation (and the reputation of our companies) is just one online click away… how to define your purpose and build your leadership brand, ensuring that what you, as leaders, your team, and your organization do is seen, heard, and valued?

The workshop covers 6 topics
  1. PERSONAL BRANDING – WHAT and WHY?
  2. MY BRAND – What is my story?
  3. MY GOAL – Why tell your story?
  4. MY AUDIENCE – Who are you talking to?
  5. STORYTELLING – How to communicate and tell stories successfully?
  6. ONLINE BRANDING – LinkedIn
