TALK 1: Building Your Personal Brand - For Female Professionals

As a modern female professional, you constantly navigate a social and psychological maze everyday - from meeting new clients to negotiating steering committees.

In this talk, Chau will share some findings of this research and link them together with real life experiences, as part of building your own personal brand.
