What’s your professional brand-shape?

What is the image that lights up in the minds of people you work with when they hear your name?

In other words, what do others perceive, think, believe and remember about you? Can you control those things? And if so, what would you have them say?

Whether you are conscious of it or not, everything you do or say contributes enhances or detracts from your brand. Why not consciously brand yourself before others can brand you?

This program gives you the power to shape your own reputation in ways that are strategic to your career and life goals and congruent with who you are as a professional.

BTD works with attendees on their personal and virtual interactions, their verbal and non-verbal messaging, their reputation and goal management, and important elements including self-awareness, accountability, attitude, focus and even leadership.

We focus on the following aspects:

·         Physical Presence (presentations, online and in-person meetings, dress, verbal and non-verbal communication, your work);

·         Interpersonal Presence (dealing with conflict and stressful situations);

·         Intrapersonal Presence (dealing with negative self-talk, mind-set and how we show up to ourselves)

·         Virtual Presence (email, telephone, texting, online meetings, social media);

·         Social Skills and Exposure (networking to communicate one’s brand and creating meaningful relationships).
