Roll Up Your Sleeves!
With Brenda’s workshops, one thing is guaranteed: Participants don’t just sit back on the sidelines and watch. Each audience member is highly involved in the learning process. Your group will apply their new skills to exercises that represent the actual challenges they encounter on a day-to-day basis at your company.
Choose from Three Possibilities:
Based on her years of experience solving global marketing issues, Brenda will work with trainees using real-life examples of marketing challenges from all around the world. What better way to learn than by solving actual problems that companies and brands have faced and solved? When you know what others have done to thrive and build powerhouse brands, you will walk away with a long list of business-building strategies to take your company and your brands to the top.
Every person in your company is part of your marketing strategy and has a unique contribution to make. Helping to define and develop each individual’s personal brand will bring them a renewed sense of purpose in their jobs, better relationships with coworkers, and increased job satisfaction. When your team is committed to developing their own personal brands, they have renewed commitment to doing their best work for the company. The outcome is an improvement of the quality of your company’s products and services – and an increase in your bottom line.
Why not combine Brenda’s areas of expertise, and provide your team with a corporate / personal branding workshop? The connection between each employee’s personal brand and the success of your company’s brand cannot be minimized. If your employees’ personal brands are weak, your company’s brand will be weakened as well. Let Brenda take your team through a complete training that increases employees’ awareness of the roles they play in the success of your products and services via each of their personal brands, as well as how the company’s brands and their personal brands are intrinsically linked.
What more important takeaway can you have from a workshop than practical strategies that apply immediately to your company and your challenges? Brenda’s trainings are tailored to your needs and apply directly to the specific circumstances of your business. Brenda S. Bence, the Founder and President of Brand Development Associates International, uses her humorous and thought-provoking style to give your team a plan of action to put into practice right away.
