Building Your Brand  (10:30)

Branding is your reputation. Branding is about building a name for yourself, showcasing what sets you apart from others, and describing the added value you bring to a situation. Get your brand in the public eye: How do you position your brand for publicity that sells?

Do you have a personal power statement? What is your brand? How do you stand out amongst others in your field and industry? If you cannot answer these questions, it is imperative that you learn how to market yourself. Known for her ability to brand others beyond belief, Darnyelle shares the keys to developing your own brand and creating a "buzz" about your best selling product: YOU! Participants will learn how to market themselves through a series of interactive breakout groups and activities. At the conclusion of the seminar, participants will perform their own commercial.

Keynote Luncheon Presentation:  (12:30)

Reinventing Yourself for the Life You Want to Live

Join award-winning author, teacher and transformational life coach Suzanne Eder for an impassioned conversation about what it really takes to create the life you want.

Reinvention is not about hiring a consultant, developing a new business plan or changing your hairstyle - although it might include any of those things!  True reinvention happens from the inside out.  It is a profound inner transformation process that requires a fundamental shift in how you see yourself and how you determine what is possible for your life.

In this lively talk, Suzanne will share the essential insights, tools and practices that have supported her own reinvention from corporate financial executive to teacher, life coach and entrepreneur.  Let this experience be the catalyst you need to recharge your commitment to living the life you truly want to live!
