The 3 Cs of building

a credible personal brand
by Betsy Hosick
When discussing emerging leaders and their potential, we often talk about the importance of establishing a personal brand. But rarely do we openly discuss an important component of any personal brand: Credibility.

NEW spring event season open:

17 events in March

Network members and supporters can build their networks and leadership skills at three NEW webinars and 14 regional events in March. Emerging leaders will receive real-world career advice at Innovation You and Leadership Academy webinars and learning events in Northwest Arkansas and Western Michigan. They will connect with other members at mentoring events in New England, Northern California and Southern California and informal mixers in Atlanta, the Carolinas, Florida, New England, New York Metro, Northwest Arkansas and Southern California. Members also are invited to a North Central Texas reception and New York Metro region strategy meeting. View NEW Calendar.
