PERSONAL BRANDING AND POSITIONING WORKSHOP

In this workshop, you will gain insights and tools to position yourself as an attractive board candidate and learn how to use communication to showcase your expertise and the value you add. Boards are built on competencies, but also on each member's willingness to influence and drive change. Through effective leadership communication, you can highlight both.

You will receive practical tips and examples of how to build your brand, become more visible, and stand out from the crowd.

The workshop will be highly interactive and led by Mona-Maria, Managing Director and Partner at Birn+Partners Finland and Baltics, and Sofie Lambertsson, Managing Director at Birn+Partners Sweden.

As this is an event with SelectionF:

Open for MEMBERS of SelectionF. Guests can participate for 150 euro.
