Tips to Develop Your Brand & Your Career Path - Vol. 1

After over a decade on the job market, I know how career development and personal growth can feel like a maze that is daunting to navigate 🫥. Recently, I had the pleasure of delivering an online workshop for McGill University, which focused on providing actionable insights and empowering individuals to create their own career journey. Key points:

• Mastering your professional brand and navigating your career path requires self-awareness, preparation, and the courage to embrace your unique story.
• It’s essential for individuals to see their unique backgrounds as assets that can propel their careers forward, not just in tech but across all industries.

1. Building your professional brand

a. Define your elevator pitch

c. Learn strategies to network and expand your reach

2. From job hunting to career building

I give you access to my entire talk track for each slide; from the questions I suggested attendees to ponder to guidelines and tips I elaborated on. Just the right push you need to get started with reflecting on what you expect from a job and how you can prepare for it!

Preparation meets opportunity = success!
