The X Factor – Know Your Value – and Make Sure Everyone Else Knows it!
General, Soft Skills, Professional Development, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Community / Networking, Women in Tech, Content, Marketing
In ever changing times one thing is certain – you must know how to identify what sets you apart and know how to communicate this to others in a powerful way. If you don’t know how to sell your own value, nobody else will…
We all bring something special to the table – skills, knowledge, talents, etc. But there’s that elusive “X Factor” – who we truly are and what our real value is to the company that we work for, or a company we want to work for. But how do we discover it? And once we do – how do we communicate it in a powerful way that shows our unique, indispensable value?
In this workshop participants will:
1) Identify their core knowledge, talent and skills – the obvious and not so obvious
2) Find out what their “X Factor” is
3) Get the tools to create their own personal “X Factor” statement and practice delivering it – a minute version, 30 second version and even a 1-2 liner.
Your X-Factor Statement can be for internal reviews, networking, job interviews, pitching
