Our personal brand is a powerful business tool to establish trust, credibility, and belonging in a world where face-to-face is not always an option. Cher Jones specializes in personal branding for the hybrid workplace, and she joined us on this episode of the Campfire Circle to tell us all about it!
Her mission is teaching leaders who love their jobs and the companies they work for how to develop a strategic personal brand so they can take charge of their own success at work.
Join us in The Campfire Circle as Cher walks us through the mindset of showing up online, leveraging social media for work, and achieving a socially active presence.
“I need to let people know what I'm good at, so they can use me more in those situations where I can add the best value. But there’s a lot of unpacking, rewiring, and giving yourself the language to feel good about … actually owning that [expertise].” - Cher Jones
