A brand is no longer just a certain type of car, shoe, or soda. We all have a personal brand that expresses our values, experiences, personalities, and ultimately everything that makes each of us unique people who stand apart from the crowd. "Personal Branding" focuses on teaching you how to cultivate your professional brand. You will learn the value of personal branding, how to craft your personal brand both online and offline, and the best methods for communicating your personal brand to clients, employers, and other industry professionals.
