- Lots of good ideas for using LinkedIn and networking at a more sophisticated and strategic level
- Activities are practical and targeted

- Staff are talking about their personal brands and their ideas for using LinkedIn and networking… the culture is shifting
Julissa presented to our Westpac WA BDM Team & her session was outstanding. Julissa presented to us on our personal brands, & then how these align with our Westpac Values.

Most popular workshops
Brand-Culture Connection: Brand Expression Through Your People – for leaders and managers
(typically 2 hours)
This workshop introduces leaders and managers to NWC’s 6 Intersections between your company’s brand and the ways your people personally represent themselves – their ‘personal brands’. You will look at the possible ‘gaps’ to see where your company brand is communicated positively or negatively through your people, and explore ways this might be assessed and addressed within your organisation.
Team Brand Discovery
(typically half day)
When organisations already have an established brand, their aim is to bring each team or department along on the brand journey. When team members develop confidence and clarity in the overarching brand and how this relates to their team identity, they become strong brand ambassadors and a more united team.
Book this workshop for a team with a common goal, in order to develop a clear and confident team identity aligned to the organisation’s vision and values, start to communicate it more powerfully and increase staff’s sense of purpose, motivation and pride in the organisation.
Personal Brand & LinkedIn Strategy for client-building teams
(typically 2 x half days)
While you may have learned about the ‘how to’ of LinkedIn – how to set up a profile, how to create a post, how to connect with someone… this does not tell you ‘how to achieve your particular goals using LinkedIn’ or ‘how to align your communications on LinkedIn with your personal brand’.
This comprehensive workshop will help your team members get clear on the value they bring at work, how to position themselves when meeting prospects, and how to use NWC’s 3 Platforms of a LinkedIn Strategy to purposefully and professionally build their contacts, become more visible and ultimately build trust with target audiences.
VISIBLE, CONNECTED & TOP OF MIND:
Online/Offline Networking for professional advisors
(typically 2 hours or half day)
You may understand the purpose of attending networking events but have found them to be tiresome, scary or a waste of your efforts. You haven’t worked out how to choose and use networking opportunities to suit your personality, purposes and schedule.
Being strategic with networking means creating a clear plan for how you will use activities to suit you, your brand, and your goals. It’s about consistency in building REAL relationships and staying on people’s radar – it’s not about all-out self-promotion, attending the opening of an envelope, or having coffee with everyone you meet! This workshop takes you through a realistic but powerful plan of online and offline networking actions that suit your role… so you can stay visible, connected and top of mind.
Personal Branding Basics & Powerful Communication for early career professionals (typically half day)
This practical workshop introduces graduate-level/early-stage career participants to their personal brand, the psychology of making a good impression and how to use confident communication techniques in real workplace situations. The workshop features visual examples, written and active exercises and discussion designed to build participants’ professional confidence. Leadership/management is consulted to inform your workshop’s focus points and feedback given on participant concerns, strengths and areas to work on, following the workshop.
