As each of us navigate through our careers, we are each shaping our own personal brand — whether we are intentional, or not. And most of us focus very little effort on developing our personal brand. Women at Aurora will discuss how to create and develop your own personal brand – from how you show up in meetings at work to what you say on social media to the decisions you make as your move your career forward. “Building Your Brand: How to accelerate your career and increase your impact” features women leaders from teams across the company. Each speaker has found her own way of carving out relevant areas of expertise, reinventing her brand over time, and ultimately building a meaningful career with impact.
