An Executive Brand Tune-Up

In professional development, the alignment of your strengths with the culture of your employer is critical. Your level of happiness, productivity and capacity to lead a team are dependent upon your engagement with the organization’s mission, vision and values. Michael will share his step-by-step process for helping financial executives determine how their behavioral profile, motivators, professional experiences, strengths and personal mission combine to drive upward mobility. He’ll provide you with a decision matrix defining your unique executive brand and allow you to compare it to the leaders, culture and strategic objectives of the organizations you may desire to work with. Increase your value. Be more productive. Communicate powerfully.  Program attendees will learn how your behavioral profile, motivators, professional experiences, strengths, and personal mission combine to define your executive brand; how to assess your cultural fit with a potential employer, board, professional association, or philanthropic organization; and how to design a plan of action for how to approach stakeholders to distinguish cultural alignment.
