Authentic Personal branding is a process of communicating your passions, purpose, skills, values, and philosophy, clearly and consistently to your potential clients so they know how you can solve their specific problems like no one else can. It is about standing out uniquely in the crowd.
 
This workshop will go through processes and exercises that you will do individually and with a partner to help you understand and start the process of building a strong personal brand. For more details please read below.

Who should attend?

 Anyone, especially if you are an artist, a small business owner, in a non-profit, or unemployed.

Why should you attend?

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Are you clear about your professional purpose and do you have a clear mission statement?
  • Are you aware of what solutions your services/products provide to your potential customers and have you articulated that clearly so your customers know how you can help them?
  • How are you different from all the other people providing similar services/products? What is it that you do that no one else can duplicate?
  • Assuming you have a clear purpose and a unique selling proposition, are you aware of all the traditional and non-traditional channels (like social media tools) that you can use to connect in authentic ways with your customers?
  •  Are you confident that the content and appearance across all your communication channels is consistent with your personal brand?
  • Can you explain what you do, why a customer should come to you, and how you are unique in 2 sentences?
  • Do you feel marketing your self or your brand is a natural expression of who you are? Or does it feel like a struggle?

If you answered any of the questions in the negative, you could benefit from attending the iAM Personal Branding workshop.
