If you can’t sell your own value, nobody else will…
We all bring something special to the table – skills, knowledge, talents, etc. But there’s that elusive “X Factor” – who we truly are and what our real value is to the company we work for, or want to work for. How do we discover it? And once we do – how do we transform it into a powerful personal brand story that showcases our unique, indispensable value?
In this workshop participants will:
- Identify their core knowledge, talent and skills – the obvious and not so obvious
- Discover their own, unique “X Factor” (and EVERYONE has one!)
- Create their personal “X Factor” statement to be for performance reviews, LinkedIn summaries, networking, interviews, pitching and more.
