After many years of working with career development clients across a range of industries and professions, I recognise the importance of career branding (particularly on digital platforms like LinkedIn). Each client has their own specific background, strengths and offerings that validate and differentiate them from others, and I help them to define their unique career brand and story, to embolden them in professional promotions and interactions. Whether you’re a business owner, job applicant or industry specialist, it’s so busy and competitive across most industries and markets these days, you really need to find ways to attract and connect with your target audiences, and strong foundational career branding is going to assist.I now offer career branding strategy sessions, where we work together to identify your optimal career branding. This involves a one-hour Zoom session and the provision of a career brand strategy briefing that will inform and embolden you to speak and exemplify your own unique career branding.
