About the Past Event

In February, all certificate students and certificate completers were invited to attend the webinar Leveraging LinkedIn (LI) to Build Your Personal Brand. During this webinar, the speakers shared insights on personal branding and best practices for using LI, as well as encouraged attendees to put these insights into action by defining their personal brands, setting up their LI profiles, connecting with other professionals, and engaging in activities to increase their visibility. All are welcome to stream this February event recording at now.

At this follow-up event, attendees can ask questions and discuss issues they encountered while defining their personal brands and using LI. Members of the Professional Development Certificates Student Advisory Board will answer questions and share their own insights from using LI to build their personal brands.

This event will provide attendees the opportunity to ask questions based on the four focus areas from the February webinar:

  • Defining a personal brand
  • Setting up and optimizing a profile
  • Connecting with other professionals
  • Increasing visibility and building brand awareness

* All registrants will be sent a recording of the session within two business days after the event has passed.
