Overview
“Your brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room”
Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon
Personal branding is about taking a strategic marketing approach to the impression you create and the impact you make. Too many people leave it to chance; when they interact with others they have no real idea how they want to be perceived. As a result they end up sending out mixed or confused messages.

It will help to lay the foundation for forging strong personal relationships within your working life.

How do QA’s virtual classroom courses work?
Our virtual classroom courses allow you to access award-winning classroom training, without leaving your home or office.
