As either a keynote or half-day workshop, Kirsten Vernon is available to teach your audience why they need to scrap the typical bio (often a boring list of credentials that’s painful to read aloud) and take on the task of creating a branded one as the first step in confident online networking. She not only makes writing a results-getting bio go from daunting to doable, but also eye opening because you will learn about yourself in the process.
Signature Keynote or Workshop: How to Take Your Bio from Bland to Brand
Your bio is the cornerstone of your online identity. Every social media site has some kind of place to post your bio—whether it’s the one-page version or the 160-character version. If you have a website, you need a bio for your About page. If you are speaking, you need a speaker bio. It’s critical to get this content right and to make it a consistent representation of who you are, what you uniquely offer, and for whom. How can you expect to get the business projects that are right for you if you are positioning yourself like your competitors and peers? In this interactive presentation, Kirsten will share the power of having the courage to go from “me too” to memorable in your bio. She will show you how to cohesively combine the elements of what makes you effective and interesting that will result in resonating with those who need to know you and position you for the future you wish to have. Participants will leave with draft of the first sentence, which is the hardest part to write.
