EBC Professional Development Program: Accelerate Your Career through Personal Branding and Marketing

When we use the term “marketing”, most people think of products, services and commodities.  How about ourselves – marketing our talents, accomplishments and value – inside our organizations and outside within our profession, industry and community.  Are you comfortable talking about yourself in this way?  More importantly, are you prepared to talk about yourself in this way – packaging your talents and accomplishments – showcasing them, leveraging them and presenting your value internally within your organization and externally within your chosen fields & communities?  Identifying, creating and articulating one’s “personal brand” empowers us to ‘own our career’ and seize opportunities we aspire to achieve. Personal branding and the ability to market ourselves is an essential ingredient for successful career management.  Learn how to create a framework to embrace and develop this core competency at this EBC Professional Development program, hosted by the EBC Young Environmental Professionals Committee. View the Attendee List
