Positive feedback from our Prescription for your Personal Brand webinar delivered on June 4th, 2020. Some takeaways were: "Personal branding is the story people tell about you when you are not in the room." "Consider not only competencies but relationships and perception of authenticity with customers."... Thank you to our colleague Dr. Michael Mulvey for an excellent webinar.

Professionalizing your Personal Brand on June 4th with Lundbeck Canada and CCPE In this seminar, we introduce the professional personal brand concept with the purpose of encouraging all workers (receptionists to CEOs) to take control of their own careers. Unlike a personal brand which focuses on self-interested aspects of one's private life, a professional personal brand is service-minded and is uncompromisingly focused on one's value to others. Conventional wisdom of impress...ion management asserts the importance of acting and dressing for success, as all of our observed actions shape expectations of future behaviours. As the lines between professional and personal reputations become blurred, it is important to know how to leverage social media to one's professional advantage and to avoid the reputation-destroying outcomes of politically incorrect tweets, inapt Facebook postings, and errant instant messages. In this seminar, you will learn to reclaim, recast, or renew your personal brand with a focus on professionalism. A professional personal brand honors the greater good one has accomplished for others and conveys one's capacity to contribute value to your network of colleagues, clients, and customers.

babyTEL Professional Presence and Networking Protocols February Professional Presence: The Essentials of Credibility, Composure and Confidence Presence is personality projected. A presence that speaks well of an individual is one that projects credibility, composure, and confidence. These behaviors are not spoken but rather are displayed through the sum total of the individual. This persona is built on a healthy foundation of positive self esteem and rational thinking. Attending meetings, delivering presentations, conversing with colleagues: all these work events provide an opportunity to promote presence. Our appearance, non-verbal communication, voice and words all combine to demonstrate our persona and as such much be constructed in a way that consistently sends the right message.
