Personal Branding
Effective use of social media strategies holds the potential to enhance your professional brand. In the last few years, the importance of personal branding has grown astronomically as social media tools like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram®, and YouTube™ have given everyone easy access to share stories and document experiences.
