"Communicating Your Brand Through Authentic Storytelling" - Kara Johnson

This meeting will be online via Zoom only. See Zoom info below.

Whether you realize it or not, you have a personal brand. Do you know what it is? Does it say what you want it to?

This training is designed to help you identify and define your personal brand and communicate who you are and the unique value you bring to the world. You will learn to present yourself authentically on job applications, stand out in interviews, network with confidence, and set yourself up for personal and professional success.

Takeaways:

• Understand what personal branding is, what it isn’t, and why it matters
• Define your unique personal brand
• Communicate your brand through authentic storytelling: resumes/cover letters, interviews, networking, elevator pitches, online presence

Count Kara as part of the #greatresignation. After 17 years working in higher education, she started her career coaching practice, Untamed Life (https://untamedlife.wixsite.com/untamed-life-career), because she believes everyone deserves to forge their own path and design a career and life that is authentically theirs. If she can make the leap, you can too. She knows you’ve got this, and she wants to be your cheerleader and supporter, so YOU know you’ve got this.

Those attending will have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their job search goals and target companies. Constructive feedback, resources, leads, referrals and encouragement from all attending will be encouraged.
