Exuding and Mastering Executive Presence In The Digital Age Where First Impressions are Now Often Your Digital Impression
First Impressions are now many times your digital first impression. What is your digital presence saying about you before you even have the opportunity to introduce yourself?
Honing “executive presence” can go a long way in attracting attention, increasing visibility and helping to rise up into leadership positions at work as well as into thought leadership positions within our organizations and outside the office.
Businesses depend on Search engines, the business of us does as well. It is important for businesses to be discoverable and important for their clients to be able to find them when needed. As growing professionals and industry leaders, we are in the business of”me.com” and it is also important that we are discoverable when someone is looking for us or someone like us.
It is now a digital world and too many professionals are lacking digital executive presence. Sandra shares strategies that can be applied immediately to boost digital and executive presence.
Personal Branding at Work: How Your Own Internal PR Within An Organization Has a Direct Impact on Your Career Trajectory
Just like the company’s brand, personal brands in the workplace are important and can be defined, in part by relationships and reputation. It is the credibility and respect held with people and how people interpret who we are and the value we bring. Much of personal branding is within our control and this session covers tactics that can be applied to help boost personal brands at work.
Beyond the job title and job description, with clear personal brands, work becomes more meaningful. Sandra helps audiences walk away with clear strategies for establishing and consistently reinforcing who we are and the value we bring to our teams and organizations.
Personal Branding at Work: A Vehicle to Help Transform Organizational Culture and Create More Inclusive Environments
When employees are comfortable and bring their authentic selves to work, everyone wins! A thriving workplace incorporates real, original people- quirks, talents, colors, passions, and all.
Authentic workplaces tap into the full range of people’s knowledge and talents, the sum of which is only enhanced by their differences.
Differences feed creativity and high engagement To benefit from differences and diversity of thought, employees must be inspired to bring their authentic selves to work.
The more people feel their needs are met at work, including the fundamental human need for belonging, the more healthy, happy, engaged, productive, and loyal they become and the better they’ll take care of business. Sandra shares informational tools and tips to inspire bringing more of ourselves to the workplace and in turn helping to build more authentic, resilient, diverse, and welcoming workplace cultures.
