50+ Job Seekers: Personal Branding with Stephen Melanson
Stephen Melanson
Personal Branding: How to use 'Simplicity' to differentiate, compete, and win
Personal Branding is a particularly difficult path these days with so much competition in the marketplace. Not only do you need to capture the right people's attention, but once you do, you are often dealing with an overwhelmed and skeptical audience.
Simplicity and Verbal Branding solves these and many more issues for finding your next role.
Join us as Stephen Melanson explains:
· How to apply Simplicity as a mission-critical, multi-impact business tool.
· What Verbal Branding is and why it's a game-changer.
· Why you should eliminate the elevator pitch mindset forever.
· How to marginalize the competition.
· Why memory might be the most important issue of all.
· How to expand your networking capability and reach.
· The business math equation that drives performance.
· How to painlessly practice and see immediate results.
Stephen Melanson is the President of Melanson Consulting, which was founded in 2004. He is a management consultant, trainer, Verbal Branding expert, and – as featured on Forbes.com – originator of the only 'Differentiation and Business Simplicity' platform of its kind worldwide. Mr. Melanson is a service provider for individuals and small through Fortune 100 firms.

Ageism is illegal. It's also rampant. Thousands of smart and experienced workers can't land a job, because of misguided perceptions and biases.

We'll also present the history of age discrimination court cases, common mistakes made by mature interviewees, a list of perceptions and how to deal with them.
If you're concerned about ageism, this is the presentation for you. Please email southwicklibrary@comcast.net or stop by the library to sign up.
This program is brought to you with federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
