Tuesday, October 6th 2-3:30pm ET – Career Breakthrough Series: Lead With Your Brand
Wednesday, October 7th 2-3:30pm ET – Career Breakthrough Series: Build Your Network
Session 1: Own Your Career – Careers today are not ladders. Instead, they are journeys, and you want to be in the driver’s seat! Diagnose your career and set a path for moving to the next level. Examine how you measure up to your company’s values and leadership expectations while you evaluate opportunities and make smart choices and trade-offs. Identify where you are today, dream about where you are going, and build a plan to get to the next step of your career.
Session 2: Lead With Your Brand™ – Apple, Starbucks, & Nike. We all love brands. Build your winning, super-premium, personal brand using a real marketer’s toolkit. Roll-up your sleeves and identify your career’s target audience, define your value proposition, and determine how to thoughtfully “package” yourself. Build a plan to stand out from the crowd by turning up the volume on your authentic self. By the end, you’ll be declaring, “I am NOT just coffee! I’m Starbucks!”
Session 3: Build Your Network – Great performance and a great brand only work if people take notice. Take a systems approach to diagnosing and building your professional network. Identify who is in your network, how they are adding value to your career, and how you are helping them meet their goals. Figure out who your super-connectors are and build a plan to super-serve them. Practice quick and easy techniques to build and maintain your relationships both in-person and online while networking with other Summit attendees.
