Join fellow CEOs for dinner and an immersive presentation on developing your brand.
As CEOs, we know the importance of branding our businesses but often neglect ourselves. A well-developed personal brand can positively impact our business, our career and our personal life, like never before. As professionals, we all deserve to stand out for our achievements and be understood for our value proposition. A well-conceived personal brand introduction is the old-fashioned elevator pitch polished up to a professional level with a memorable impact.
Once perfected, leverage your brand statement in every aspect of personal marketing: your LinkedIn profile summary, the opening to your bio, the professional summary of your resume, your networking introduction and for internal meetings with customers, potential new partners or fellow executives.
Personal branding is taking the most genuine, honest version of yourself and highlighting the unique qualities that differentiate you from the world. However, it can be difficult to orchestrate a simple, yet brilliant personal brand that is easily understood. Paula provides the background, tips, rules and a three-step method that results in you having a professional brand introduction of your own to use, that very evening. It's called, "The Art of Hello".
Before the program, join us for our Program Committee brainstorming. This optional session will generate ideas for the DFW Chapter's upcoming events and activities. It is always an interesting discussion, and a great opportunity to have input into our programming. This warm, collaborative environment of strategic thinking is a wonderful setting for thought provoking ideas and sincere connections with fellow CEO Trustees.
