Building Your Brand: The Power of Personal Profile
In today’s competitive business landscape, building and maintaining a strong personal profile is crucial for success. Yet, many of us are raised to downplay our achievements, which can hinder our progress. Standing out is essential, and without a well-crafted profile, you may find yourself overlooked as others advance.
In this dynamic and practical session, Vanessa draws from her extensive career—starting in Banking at 16, working across nine banks, and eventually reaching the C-suite—to share key strategies for enhancing your professional profile. She offers insights from her corporate roles, entrepreneurial ventures, and leadership experiences to empower your audience to confidently elevate their presence within their industry. This session is designed for both women and men at all levels of an organisation.
Keynote highlights include:
- Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Understand what imposter syndrome is, how it manifests, and techniques to manage it effectively.
- Personal Branding and Leadership: Learn how to focus on your personal brand and demonstrate leadership qualities among your peers.
- Networking and Relationship Building: Discover the importance of networking, how to create authentic connections, and develop your own strategic “people plan.”
