In this 90-minute interactive workshop, we will together explore the creative and professional ways to present ourselves in networking, establishing a professional yet powerful presence, and meaningful ways to build a network of collaborators. Have you ever wondered: How do you share your stories, passions, and experiences authentically? How do you find venues, communities, and workspace that can speak to not only your professional expertise, but also personal narratives? How do you convey yourself to an increasingly diverse population? If you answer is yes to any of these questions, then join our session to build and maintain a well-respected yet personal presence.
