Developing Your Personal Brand

My associate Silvia Cambie has asked me to pass on an invitation to an event that she is speaking at. Because of the wonders of modern global communications, you can attend this conference no matter where you are in the world.

She will be speaking at “A Brand You World”, the Global Telesummit that will be held later this week on Thursday November 8th from 3pm local time in the form of a free Teleconference that is expected to draw more than 100,000 professionals from throughout the world.

Silvia writes:

“I will share the lessons I learned from my years in post-communist Eastern Europe where I had to tune into a complex society. Working as a reporter in a place where speaking openly to foreigners had been tabu for 50 years, I had to learn to listen very carefully instead of asking questions.

I still use the ‘tricks’ I learned then every time I have to operate in a culture I am not so familiar with.

In my session I will cover how to:

* Develop the kind of sensibility needed to operate in a cross-cultural context
* Identify and nurture the skills required to build an international career
* Relate to the needs of employers/clients/investors/etc. in the global village
* Use international networks, both on-line and off-line, to promote your personal brand, jump-start your career or grow your business

I am delighted to be able to contribute to an event that is encouraging participants to make a donation to Kiva, an organisation that provides microfinance loans to enterpreneurs in developing countries.

Join me at the Global Telesummit!”

I’ll certainly be phoning in so maybe I’ll see/ hear you there.
