Professional Presence: Stand Out by Building Your Brand

Let me guess… You've worked long and hard at becoming an expert in your field.

You've done the reading, you've taken the courses, and you've put in the time. You're a legitimate expert and you're damn good at what you do.

But… Almost no one knows it.

And all around you, you see other people with less experience and less talent than you getting attention and growing their businesses.

It's maddening… and so discouraging.

You wonder why you're being passed over. You wonder why you remain in the background when others all around you step right past you and into the spotlight.

Over time, it chips away at your confidence and you begin to ask if you're really cut out for the big time.

Sadly, we've seen far too many extremely talented people throw in the towel way too early over this very problem.

What if you were told that there was nothing wrong with your worthiness, intelligence, or skill level?

What if you were told that you could learn how to fix the only thing separating you from dominating your market?

If the above is describes you, the our June talk Professional Presence: Stand Out by Building Your Brand is for you!

Date is Thursday 18th June at KICC, Tin Tin Restaurant from 6:00pm - 8:00pm. Charges: LYP Members Ksh. 700, Non Members Ksh. 1,000.
