About the Course

Though the concept of personal branding isn't new, questions remain about how to create one and, more importantly, what it means to maintain and inhabit that brand. Learners will: o Understand both what personal branding means and what it means to inhabit their brand o Establish themselves on at least three social media platforms o Create a mission statement for their personal brand o Build a board of directors for their brand o Become familiar with the basics of digital security and reputation management o Create a system for on-going brand maintenance Join instructor Kimberley R. Barker as she provides a warm, supportive atmosphere in which learners are encouraged to intensively explore themselves in order to create a personal brand that authentically and effectively communicates their values and professional gifts. Together we will build a strong community in which to provide encouragement and feedback, and support each other as learners pursue their goal of successful brand creation....

Course instructor is great and I feel I have a deeper understanding of social media presence. Loses a star for slightly dated information (2015).

Basic but wonderful instruction for creating what others think of when they think of you, and what you think of when you think about who you are.

Lot of new stuff to learn, including thinking in a new direction. It'd be great if there was less reading material and more instructor videos.
