Your brand and presence are key for your success in any industry and they represent what is authentic about your personality and character - reflecting the perception of you held by the external world. By developing behaviors and characteristics that enhance your performance and what you are known for, you will pave the way for new opportunities. 

 

This webinar will teach you the process of deliberately developing your brand, managing your presence, and give you techniques to help you engage with stakeholders while driving change and impacting decisions.
