Franklin Downtown Partnership: Important Town Meeting on Parking
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.

Both FHS girls and boys lacrosse and tennis teams post wins on Monday
Via HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the FHS spring sports action on Monday:
Girls Lacrosse = Franklin, 20 @ North Attleboro, 1 – Final
Boys Tennis = Taunton, 0 @ Franklin, 5 – Final
Girls Tennis = Franklin, 4 @ Taunton, 1 – Final
"In a back-and-forth seesaw battle between two of the top teams in the Hockomock League, the Taunton baseball team emerged with a quality win over visiting Franklin.
Franklin built a pair of leads but Taunton erased both of them, using a three-run fifth inning to take the lead for good in a 7-5 win.
The Panthers seized a 2-0 edge in the top of the second inning only for the Tigers to answer with four runs in the bottom half of the inning. Franklin’s offense struck for two runs in the third to tie it and took the lead once again with a single run in the fourth, but Taunton rallied for a second time by plating three runs in the fifth."
