Everyone has a brand. It affects everything at work – from how receptive people are to your ideas to your chances of promotion. Your brand has two dimensions – your self-definition (your own sense of who you are and what value you bring] and the compilation of the perceptions (based on all kinds of data) held about you by others. Brand management involves making sure your intentions and the reality of your brand to others are aligned.

View event detailsWEBINAR - Trust, building trustworthiness and trusted advisor status
In the insurance industry, in particular, we often focus on developing our technical skills, and our product and service knowledge in the belief that this alone will be all we need to win new clients, and then provide great service to existing clients. But of course if the prospect does not ‘trust’ us sufficiently we are unlikely to be appointed in the first place, and if our clients don’t trust us, it will be more difficult for us to bring value, and our position will be constantly under threat. This session focuses on the importance of Trust in prospect and client relationships, and how to build it.
