Jeff Peden Shares his Secrets on Personal Branding at December's Empowering Education Series

There are lots of tools available today to communicate your personal brand message to your prospects and the public at large.  But what is at the core of your personal brand?  People buy goods and services from people they know and trust.  When people meet you, are they interested in you and what you have to offer?  Do they tell other people about you?  What is that elusive quality that separate good business people from great leaders and how can you get it?  Jeff will discuss the answers to these questions and the foundation of a successful personal brand.
