Networking to Build Your Personal Brand
Personal branding is the message you send and the message that others receive about you. How do you want to stand out from the crowd and have people remember you? Do you want to be known as a problem solver, an outstanding team member, a diplomatic change agent? Do you want to be perceived as polished, professional, and friendly? For others to receive your intended message, it must be genuine and authentic.
A poll by Inc.com found that 48% of their readers believed that personal connections are the primary factor that most often leads to getting ahead in an organization. Developing your personal brand is critical to building your network. Personal branding gives you an edge to make an outstanding impression. A personal network is an excellent source of information and ideas about events, trends, opportunities, and industry news.
In this module, you will look at how to strengthen your first impression, develop a Personal Branding Statement, and build your relationship skills to add to your personal and business network.
At the completion of this module, participants will be able to:
• Make a stronger first impression when building their professional network
• Develop a flexible and authentic Personal Branding Statement
• Make the most of professional connections
• Use the relationship linking technique to add to their network
