Freelance Forum: An Evening with “The LinkedIn Guy”, Gregg Burkhalter – LinkedIn: Personal Branding for Professional Success

We’ve got a special treat for our annual (pre) Cinco de Mayo on Thursday, May 4^th at PPR! “The LinkedIn Guy”, Gregg Burkhalter will explain why it’s so very important to have a strong personal brand. Your personal brand will follow you throughout your professional career. It’s a lot easier to build your personal brand correctly the first time than to try and rebuild it after you’ve damaged it.

LinkedIn is the digital home of your personal brand. Facebook might show your personality but LinkedIn is where your personal (professional) brand is nurtured and grown.

Gregg will show you what makes a strong LinkedIn profile and explain how to use LinkedIn to develop your personal brand. You will leave with an outline of what you should be doing daily on LinkedIn to build relationships and strengthen your personal brand. Join us for a very special evening with a local LinkedIn EXPERT, festive food and friendly freelance pros!
