Chuck will discuss how you can brand yourself as a leader in your industry and the benefits of intermingling personal and professional personas to move yourself from businesswoman to Business Leader, and the fine line you must navigate while doing this. Chuck will be the first guest speaker in a two-part series regarding the new marketing rules and social media. Learn some of the methods that social media experts are using to push leaders to the top of the “conversation pile,” while leaving others in the dust.
