Session: Life-Brand: The Unspoken Potential of a Strategic Life-Brand
Almost half of the world’s population owns a smartphone. This tells us one thing: no matter what we say or do, our actions can reach, be shared, and consumed by the world at any point in time.
-Social media posts get viewed, shared, and commented on almost instantly, leading to content going “viral” at an incredible rate. Especially unacceptable and controversial content can quickly lead to creating a mainstream of negative opinions resulting in what is now called “cancel culture”.
-The reality is that a simple comment can destroy a person’s future with the click of a button, potentially ruining their reputation and life-brand forever. The only seat belt to protect ourselves from possible life-brand exposure? Actively taking control of it from an early age.
-And, for businesses, driving growth through digital engagement began as a response to the global pandemic, but has transformed into the global standard for business operations. Social media in particular has become the ultimate tool for prospecting and selling. And this extends not just to sellers, but to every single employee as they represent their company online with whatever they share on private or public social media platforms.
In this session, Irina will present the concept of life-brand and explore an easy, actionable step-by-step approach to life-brand awareness for all - from veterans in the industry to those that have not embarked on their professional paths yet.
