Join us for an empowering workshop on how to identify and advocate for your professional brand—differentiators—in your place of work. No matter your role, title, or profession it is essential to express your unique capabilities and experiences to stand apart from all others (even those who do similar work as you).   

Discover how to define and communicate your unique value in the workplace as you continue to be proud of your LGBTQ+ identity.  More specifically, Bill Dickinson, senior leadership advisor and gay professional, will take us through a webinar experience that invites us to more intentionally consider the “why” of our chosen professions versus the “what” of our work.  In short, he will provide the content and methodology to enable all of us to better “own” our value in the form of a clear and compelling statement that is unique to our role or profession.   

A value proposition is a statement that answers the ‘why’ someone should do business with YOU. It should convince a colleague or customer why your capabilities and leadership will be of more value to them than similar offerings from another colleague--or company. 

 

Objective/Purpose: 

• Help participants confidently articulate their skills, experiences, and contributions as LGBTQ+ professionals both within your role and within and for your organization.  
• Provide an E-book that guides you through the process of drafting a compelling statement of value that resonates with employers and colleagues. 
• And equip LGBTQ+ professionals to identify and write a professional value proposition statement.    

 

Workshop Highlights: 

• Understanding Self-worth as critical to your larger sense of purpose, and why that matters today.   
• Appreciating the Research that motivates you to express your value and worth in a captivating statement as an expression of your personal brand.  
• Defining Your Unique Value: Identify and articulate the unique qualities, experiences, and skills that set you apart. 
• Leveraging Your Value Proposition: Tips on effectively presenting your value differentiators in professional settings, including on LinkedIn, resumes, and during networking. 

 

Interactive Elements:

Benefits/Key Takeaways: 

• Gain a clear understanding of personal branding and its importance for professional growth. 
• Develop a unique and authentic statement of professional value and capabilities. 
• Learn practical strategies to communicate your differentiators effectively in different professional settings. 
• Feel more confident in navigating challenges specific to LGBTQ+ professionals and in showcasing your value for stretch assignments or career advancement.
