Workshop: "Marketing your value in a global environment to advance your career"

Target Audience: Everyone who is interested in communicating their "brand"

Session Format: Interactive seminar

Facilitator: Alaina Levine, an award-winning entrepreneur, STEM career consultant, science journalist, professional speaker and corporate comedian. 

Short description: No matter what job you are in and what career you choose, you will always have to market yourself and “sell” your ideas – you will have to appropriately and clearly articulate what your innovations are (whether they are technical or business in nature or both) and how they will inject value in to your organization. You will have to stay on message and communicate your mission in terms of the overarching goals of the team and company, and judiciously elucidate your well-researched explanation of the return on the investment that your stakeholders can expect. In this workshop, we will delve into the strategies for communicating your ideas and brand (your promise of value) in such a way that your constituents want to learn more and can visualize how your innovative attitude will benefit them. We will be mindful of how different cultures approach the issue of marketing, but we will realize that in marketing yourself appropriately you will be able to find and mine new and potentially hidden opportunities to advance both your career and your organization’s goals.
