Executive Leadership Branding in a 2.0 World

Executive Leadership Branding in a 2.0 World at DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University

Join Dianne Carmichael, a leading CEO and recognized brand expert in this one and a half day course to learn how to manage your personal leadership brand in the world of web 2.0, while successfully aligning it with corporate mission, vision, and values.

As an executive, this course will teach you the impact of reputation – and perception – on personal and professional success, while explaining the critical need in today’s Web 2.0 world, for an intentional personal brand strategy. It will give you the toolkit to proactively establish your personal leadership brand before others establish it for you! Furthermore, it will teach you how to tie in social media strategy (ie. CEO blogs) to deepen the customer relationship and strengthen corporate brand image.

As a business leader, you have the ability to drive your own personal and professional success by taking control of your online reputation – applying traditional brand principles to create a strong inner brand that delivers on your personal brand promise. Conversely, businesses can create high-performing teams, drive employee satisfaction, maximize productivity and positively impact their corporate brand through the power of high-level alignment of personal leadership brands. This symbiotic relationship creates a win-win for key executives, business owners and corporations.
