About the event
We are thrilled to announce the next event in our Alumni Masterclass series where our guest Richard Etienne will teach you the practical ways you can become more confident and self-assured, and how to promote yourself both on and offline as someone who doesn’t revel in increased attention.
Richard will reveal the secrets to developing a strong personal brand that shows who you really are: what is interesting about you, why you’re unique, and what you have to offer. You will also learn how to nurture your personal and professional career growth, including how to celebrate your successes and what it means to cross collaborate with confidence and purpose.
