Public Speaking to Elevate Your Brand
Last week was the first time I spoke/taught at the 2019 EXHIBITORLIVE conference in Las Vegas, NV.
My topics included: Maximizing Mentoring, Effective Networking, and Personal Branding Strategies to Supercharge Your Career.
I was pleased to see that two of the three sessions I presented qualified for CEUs (continuing education units) awarded by Northern Illinois University Outreach. And while there are too many highlights from the experience to list, I knew I should share some of the awesome tweets and/or messages I received during and after speaking because they illustrate my session takeaways about personal branding and social media going hand in hand as well as the value of public speaking to elevate your brand and grow your network.
Very grateful for these generous people and look forward to paying it forward down the road!
Here’s how last week impacted my profile views on LinkedIn:
