JAN 16 | Certified Personal Branding Strategist Program Regular Registration Closes

Are you ready to finally have the tools and confidence you need to:

  • lead clients through more transformational engagements?
  • articulate a unique value proposition to stand out in a crowded coaching market (and help clients stand out from their peers)?
  • have a repeatable process and structure so you can focus on each client and know every client will get outstanding results?
  • attract more ideal clients and make more money with a done-for-you, customizable personal branding strategy business?

If so, then it's time to become a Certified Personal Branding Strategist!

After the CPBS program, you'll sound and feel like an expert, exiting the spiral of constantly hunting new clients at a low price point with your new, long-term value proposition that converts your ideal clients.

In the Certified Personal Branding Strategist program, you will learn the Reach Personal Branding, a comprehensive, three-step process for uncovering, communicating, and nurturing your personal brand.

Plus, you'll earn 18 ICF CCEs, including 7 core competency CCEs!

Early registration ends January 16.

Academic research has shown recruiters read resumes in a systematic pattern, taking 6.25 seconds to make a yes/no decision; yet, 75% of the time, resumes don't make it through an ATS to the recruiter's desk at all! Add implicit recruiter bias to the vetting process, and it's shocking any resume advances to candidate status.
