    Program:  Creating Your Personal Brand: The HR Professional's Value Proposition

    A well-executed personal branding campaign creates a strong and specific association between you and the value you offer.  Personal branding is a way of differentiating yourself.  It enables you to stand out by articulating a consistent message—your unique value proposition—and leveraging it across platforms. In this way, you can enhance your recognition in your field, advance your career, and build self-confidence.

    In the process of creating a personal brand, you establish what makes you uniquely qualified for the role you serve.  Organizations can use this process of creating a personal brand with their employees as a way of supporting and encouraging growth and commitment.  This process can become a strategy for high potential employees to be identified, to hone their value to the organization, and to advance in their careers.

    As a participant, you will learn the following from this seminar:

    • the concept of a personal brand including establishing an inventory of your core competencies, expertise, demonstrated abilities, and existing level of recognition.
    • the importance of creating a strong, consistent, and specific association between you and the value you bring to your organization-- your unique value proposition.
    • how to create a personal brand and how to guide others in creating one.
    •  how to leverage your unique value proposition across platforms to enhance recognition in your field and to advance your career as an HR professional in your organization.
    • how to use the personal brand process as part of a broad organizational strategy to create a high potential development program in your organization.
    • how the strategic use of personal branding can support the acquisition and development of key talent by enhancing their motivation and engagement, and enable HR professionals to determine whether they have the right people in the right roles.
