The ISBA Standing Committee on Women and the Law will present "Power, Prestige And Your Personal Brand" on March 4 at Kent College of Law. Who you are, how you communicate, what you know and how you present yourself all make up your “Personal Brand.”  Regardless of whether you work for a big firm, small firm, are solo, or in-house, you have a reputation and an image that should be cultivated. Your personal brand is greater than the sum of your characteristics.  It is how others perceive you. This panel of professionals brings together experts in image development, branding and presentation.  They will provide insight into building your brand and how to leverage that brand to further your career.  Whether you are looking to attract clients, find your next job opportunity, or raise your profile, this program will help you get started.
