The Power of Profile

Personal profile can be one of the most powerful elements in your business armoury, but you have to know what tools and techniques will help you build it and protect it in order to drive success. Culturally, many people are brought up not to “toot your own horn” or “shout about your success”, but in today’s highly competitive world if you don’t stand out, you’re likely to watch those with profile pass you by on their way to the top.

Throughout this interactive and practical session, Vanessa will share stories from her career about how she started in Banking in the City at 16, worked for nine different banks and rose to the C-suite. Vanessa will provide the top tips she’s picked up in corporates, as an entrepreneur and as a network leader and encourage you to become comfortable with raising their profile.

What you’ll get:

  • How to stop feeling like an imposter – what is imposter syndrome, how it surfaces and how to keep it in check.
  • How to focus on your personal brand and exhibit leadership behaviours to your peers.
  • The importance of networking and building relationships for the the future and why you must create your own people plan.
