What is your personal brand? Can you describe it to people? Your personal brand isn’t something you can define in words because it’s defined by how you’re perceived by the people around you. And those perceptions can make or break your career and relationships. While we can’t control what other people think of us, we can be intentional about how we want people to experience us.

In this session you’ll develop clarity around your personal brand and its impact on your work, and you’ll learn strategies to be more intentional about how you experience yourself and how you want others to experience you.

Bio: 

"The choice of Sarah Elkins (as our conference keynote) was inspired. Her emphasis that we need to think more carefully as advocates about how we are perceived, that we need to demonstrate our values authentically (and bravely) so as to build trust, was perhaps more important than all the specific storytelling tools discussed.” ~ Montana Watershed Conference Participant

Sarah is a storyteller, keynote speaker, communication coach, author and professional musician.

Her workshops and coaching packages with in-person and remote teams and their leaders are known to address and reduce miscommunication – the most common cause of tension and stress in the workplace. Using the team’s results from the StrengthsFinder assessment, she guides conversations to ensure work relationships are based on knowing & valuing each other’s strengths, and connecting with each other on the most basic level through enhanced self-reflection, story sharing, and effective listening. Sarah’s nearly 20 years working in public sector agencies inspired her to complete her MBA and to achieve her StrengthsFinder certification to work toward improving professional environments for others, guiding teams to communicate in a way that increases satisfaction and happiness at work and at home.
