Young Professional Monthly Meeting / Personal Branding

Sept YP Meeting will be about Personal Branding 

Developing a personal brand can be challenging. Being a young professional in the employ of an organization with its own brand can often present as many questions as it does answers.
 
Professional career coach and former Tri Town Chamber president John Bates will be presenting Personal Branding for Young Professionals at the Chamber from 9:00-10:00am on Wednesday, September 12th. While everyone is welcome, the focus will be on employees of member companies or solopreneurs who are in the early stages of their career path. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions, but several will be included in the core discussion:

1. What is a personal brand and why do I need one?
2. How do I create my own brand?
3. How do I create a brand if tons of other people are doing exactly the same work?
4. Is it OK for me to develop my own brand even though I work for someone else?
5. What if the brand I want to develop isn’t aligned with my employer’s brand?
6. Do I have to blog or be active in social media to drive my brand?
7. Is professional networking important to develop my own brand?
8. What is an elevator pitch, and do I really need one?
9. How do chambers of commerce or other professional groups play into my branding?
10. How will creating a personal brand help me in my job and in my career?
