Corporate icons, star entrepreneurs and Hollywood entertainers all understand what it takes to be in control and in demand - a unique brand. And in today's digital age, we're all entrepreneurs whether we like it or not. Personal branding can give you more control and bring value to you and your company. Personal branding can do for your career or business what the gym does for your body.
After years of working in the advertizing industry, Catherine came to appreciate that one of branding's greatest potentials was to help people not just products - it's for individuals to define and own their career identity and create one of their own business success.
One of Catherine's special interests is helping women achieve leadership success. In The Female Brand, Using the Female Mindset to Succeed in Business, Catherine introduces The Top Five Female Aptitudes for Self Branding, and shows women how to leverage all their assets to propel business success.
Catherine's entertaining style and compelling content make her a dynamic keynote speaker, workshop leader, panel expert and town hall moderator at company meetings and conferences. In her talks and workshops, Catherine shows you how to use the principles from the commercial world of brands and apply them to the best asset you have - You.
