Description

B2B Power Exchange is a lead exchange group that focuses on helping entrepreneurs, CEOs, consultants and business development pros that sell to senior decision makers at companies with $10 million or more in annual revenues. Our members focus on large, complex business-to-business sales, so most lead groups and Chamber mixers don't provide them with the resources they need. We're different. Our forum of power players knows that the fastest way to the executive suite is through partnerships with others focused on B2B. That's why we leverage our combined skills and executive contacts to expand our pipelines and increase the value we offer our corporate clients.

This Month's Topic: Knowing and Communicating Your Personal
Brand of Leadership, with Ellen Rudy and Victoria Hayden from
The Hayden Group

To launch our leadership series, our first workshop will focus
on the foundation for leadership - Knowing and Communicating
Your Personal Brand of Leadership. Knowing yourself and your
unique value proposition to any leadership opportunity is
absolutely critical as it helps define who you are and what
distinguishes you from other leaders, first to yourself, and
then to those around you. Exploring your unique contributions,
passions and capabilities and successfully presenting /
promoting that to the marketplace is more integral
than "skills" or "strategy" for career success. It not only
helps you better succeed and lead in your current position, it
also helps you to plan your career development path in
alignment with your unique offerings, in order to optimize your
success and enjoy greater fulfillment along your career journey.

Leadership comes first from within and this workshop will help
you lead more effectively by helping you to identify,
articulate and communicate your personal brand. Doing so will
help you proactively manage the feelings that people--your
boss, your colleagues, your employees, your customers, and your
family and friends--have about you, and about how they feel
about interacting with you, observing you, and even thinking
about you. During this workshop, we will conduct a Personal
Leadership Brand Audit and explore and identify:

What is best and true about you
Which aspects of your authentic personality really meet the
needs of the key folks with whom you work and play
A personal brand leadership positioning statement that links
your strengths to needs and goals
How to consistently optimize and communicate your intended
leadership brand within your professional and personal
community

You will leave the workshop with a brand strategy- one that
aligns who you are with how you lead and communicate. The
workshop will not only provide a solid foundation for the
remainder of FountainBlue's Leadership series, but also stands
alone as a workshop worth taking.
Cost $50 for Partners, $75 General Admission, $450 for 12-month Series
