When companies think of staff or customers posting on their social media channels, they become fearful. What will be said? Will this hurt my business? How can I make it stop?

By the end of this talk, audience members will be empowered to fuel your company’s digital reach and use social media as a sales tool. And they just might increase your bottom line while doing it.

This talk takes you through the highs and lows of building a name for yourself after an unexpected hurdle. With an unfiltered approach to getting exposure to your ideal audience, I will give you a jolt of inspiration to evaluate your circumstances, make moves, and create a fulfilling career.

Like every human on the planet, I’ve experienced my fair share of “failures.” When I was a college graduate years ago, I was fired from an internship a week before I started. I began my career in a new city with no friends, no experience, no job, and no hope. Things were looking grim until I discovered that getting ahead comes down to confidence and presentation. Basically, branding saved my life.

Now featured in the media, I went from unknown to running one of the premier personal branding agencies in the world. I’ve made a living helping people harness and communicate their individual strengths—and I’m going to show you how to discover yours.
