In my April webinar for FINSIA on ‘Network-building plans for finance professionals in the new normal’, I outlined the key problems I see professional advisors stumble on when it comes to their business and relationship development. Here’s the number 1 thing (and how to overcome it).
Take-aways from January’s Personal Brand Positioning Workshop and the importance of clarifying your positioning.
If you are thinking of up-levelling your personal brand this year, here’s a checklist of key elements to consider for your plan. While this list is created with business leaders in mind, or those responsible for business development and sales, much of this checklist is easily applicable to those forging their professional career.
Working increasingly with female founders and investors, I’m noticing some patterns in personal brand points to focus on, in order to contribute to success in business.
When I facilitate workshops within organisations, I try to take the opportunity to find out what team members want more of, in order to help them reach their potential both within their jobs and in their careers.
Some of the questions I was asked in a recent webinar for the Association of Financial Advisers’ Inspire series centred around creating a strong first impression in meetings, online and in networking.
In my workshops, people always ask, ‘How do I move a casual contact to a meaningful conversation?’ Here is the ONE THING you have to have (and it isn’t a cupcake… though that may help!).
My live Q&A Chat in August 2021 was ‘From online connection to real conversation.’
How do you take a casual LinkedIn connection to a real conversation… maybe even towards becoming a client or someone integral to your network?
I shared 3 pathways you can take to get that connection to a valuable contact that you are having meaningful conversations with.
My live Q&A Chat in July 2021 was on ‘Expanding your range of influence.’
Being influential is necessary to be able to create wins in business and career.
– How can you cultivate honest, authentic influence that helps yourself and others?
– What small shifts in our language and behaviour can make the biggest difference to our ability to influence outcomes?
My live Q&A Chat in June 2021 was on ‘Building Professional Confidence for You and Your Team’.
I shared the WHAT, WHY and HOW of building professional confidence purposefully, right from the start of team members’ careers through to leadership level. We then had time to network and discuss implementation points.
