SOCIAL MEDIA
Social Media is a collective term for all Internet applications that make it possible to share information with each other in a user-friendly and often fun way. It is not only information in the form of text (news, articles). Sound (podcasts, music) and images (photography, video) are also shared through social media channels. In other words, social media stands for "Media that lets you socialize with the environment you are in.

PERSONAL BRANDING
There are many different definitions for the term Personal Branding. Yet a number of things keep coming back. With Personal Branding you consider yourself as a brand. With this in mind you look at yourself, your ambitions and the (marketing) strategy you want to use to achieve your goals. It is important to distinguish yourself from others and to propagate this, especially for professionals in business services. Your unique qualities ensure this distinction. Authenticity is of great importance. Personal Branding is not hot air, it is about being driven in your development. Your Personal Brand is expressed in the ambitions you have, what you communicate, and the way you (distinguishingly) do/do your work or show how engaged you are with issues that are alive in society.

And remember: The perception of those around you determines what Personal Brand you really are.

During this training you will learn to create your own Personal Brand through a clear step-by-step plan and tips.
