JAN 25 | Certified Personal Branding Strategist Program 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.
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.
This session will review implicit name, gender, age and motherhood bias and how bias manifests in resume review. We will also learn ways minorities are beating bias, and what WE can do to diminish implicit bias in resume review.
Marie Zimenoff, CEO of CTL, is headed to Social Media Marketing World from March 1-3 to get the latest and greatest information to share with all of you and keep our Certified Digital Branding Strategist program on the cutting edge.
