Your resume tells employers what you've done. Your professional brand helps them understand what you bring to the table.
Personal branding can feel like something reserved for influencers, executives, or entrepreneurs. In reality, your professional brand is already taking shape through your resume, LinkedIn profile, conversations, and the way you present yourself to potential employers.
We'll take a closer look at how branding can support a stronger job search and help you become more memorable to employers through discussions about:

• What a professional brand actually means
• How employers may perceive your online presence
• Connecting your skills and experience to the value you offer
• Creating a more consistent message across your resume and LinkedIn profile
• Common branding mistakes that can make it harder to stand out
• Practical ways to strengthen your professional presence

You don't need to become an influencer or build a huge online following. A strong professional brand is simply a clear answer to one important question: Why should an employer remember you?
If you're searching for a job, changing careers, or trying to position yourself for your next opportunity, this session can help you look at your job search from a different angle.

Losing a job can be stressful, especially when it happens unexpectedly. A layoff can affect more than your finances. It can also shake your confidence and make it difficult to know what to do next.
Bouncing Back From a Layoff is a practical conversation about moving forward after a job loss. We’ll explore ways to regain your confidence, assess your options, and approach your next career move with a clear plan.
Topics will include:

• How to handle the emotional side of a layoff
• Steps to take after losing your job
• Ways to recognize and communicate your value
• Strategies for updating your resume and professional presence
• How to approach networking and the job search
• Turning a difficult career setback into an opportunity for growth

You may not be able to control when a layoff happens, but you can take steps to prepare for what comes next. This session offers guidance and encouragement for navigating the transition.
