In this Personal Branding seminar, presented by Leslee Hill of the Women’s Entrepreneurial Opportunity Center, we will discover tips and tricks for portraying our ideal selves.
In a world where image is everything, we must also know what image we want to convey. We do this through examination of who we were, determining who we want to be, embracing what we’re working with, polishing the exterior, and presenting ourselves where we want to be associated with. Join us to learn how to stay calm in the face of adversity and how to look good doing it.
Who should come? Those who interact with customers. Others who want to move up in a company, change jobs, or increase sales. Anyone who wants to look their best in the body they currently have. Females who stand in front of their full closets and feel they have nothing to wear. Bring your daughters if school gets canceled. This information is applicable to all ages!
This event is $15 per person. RSVP to: office@whitleychamber.com

Join us for our 6th Annual Ideas@Work Signature Event!
Santiago Jaramillo, CEO and Co-founder of Emplify, will serve as keynote speaker for The NIIC’s Ideas@Work event on April 16, 2019, at the Parkview Mirro Center for Research and Innovation. Attendees will be engaged and inspired as Jaramillo shares his Lessons Learned from a Purpose-Centered Entrepreneurial Journey.
A serial entrepreneur, Jaramillo has developed and grown multiple small and midsize companies. Most notably, as the founder and CEO of mobile app platform Bluebridge, he grew the company from his college dorm room to become the premier app platform to churches and tourism destinations across the country. Under his leadership, the company grew to over 45 employees in four years and nearly 500 customers across the world. In November 2016, Bluebridge church and tourism was acquired by PushPay and Simpleview, respectively, for a combined $8 million dollars.
He currently leads a team of engagement experts to provide more reliable employee engagement insights for better decision making. He has spoken to and trained thousands of CEOs and HR leaders across small, mid-market, and Fortune 500 companies on the importance and business value of employee engagement. Last month, Emplify closed on over a $7.5 million outside Series A capital round with several institutional investors.
Doors open at 11:00 for networking. Lunch is served at 11:30. Cost is $250.

The little comments made by those closest to you. The blatant questioning from complete strangers. The moments when you are at your lowest in this business building journey. The lack of people who jump for joy with you when you achieve a milestone. All this takes an effect on your confidence in your business and yourself.
By creating a strategic circle of support, you will achieve more than you have yet dreamed.
