Session A: 11:00am – 12:15pm
Marketing Easy as 1, 2 and 3
(Leadership in the Workplace Track)
What’s the word? Who needs to know and why? Create a statement, plan or visual that gets you in the door without knocking! Marketing is a tool – nothing more – nothing less. If you don’t know how to use it or never read the manual, you’ll probably never receive the full value of the tool. Anything worth having is worth fighting for, but not if no one knows about it. Therefore, all you’ve done is waste time, energy and resources. Join this session for an interactive and hands-on-approach to 1) define marketing as it relates to you, your career choice or future aspiration, 2) develop a plan for getting the door open, and 3) maintaining relationships for staying in the door. Participant Criteria: Must be willing to think outside the box, have fun, and ask questions!
Presenter: Loretta Gurnell Williams.
