TURNER — Turner Public Library will host “Authentic Personal Branding for Women: Be Known for Who You Are,” with Silicon Valley executive and entrepreneur coach Sonya L. Sigler.
The workshop, which is free and open to women age 16 and older, will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8.
For many women, speaking about themselves can be difficult. However, the need for women to confidently advocate on their own behalf has never been more vital to their personal and professional lives. Focusing on ways in which women can communicate who they are, what they’ve achieved and what their goals are with confidence and clarity, Siglerr will offer her expertise on empowered communication strategies for women.
The highly interactive workshop will teach transformative tools to build confidence when speaking about accomplishments in job interviews, at conferences and meetings, and in everyday situations. Participants will create authentic, powerful and memorable personal branding statements that articulate personal values, communicate accomplishments, target specific audiences, and invite further conversation.
