It\u2019s a mix of how you present yourself and how others see you. Building an authentic brand and taking control of it will position you to leave a lasting impression. A personal brand can open pathways to opportunities and boost your career velocity.<\/p>\n In this hands-on and engaging workshop, participants were introduced to personal branding and why it\u2019s essential to your career.
