Topic: How to market yourself and the role of SoMe 
Description: This session is an introduction to marketing yourself for a NED role and what role SoMe plays. You can build your brand principally on LinkedIn, but you also need to be aware of, and use, other SoMe. At the very least, you should review your posts and images to avoid giving any mixed messages, even selecting your “friends”, likes and comments. 

To make the most of LinkedIn, you need to market yourself effectively. It is not a one-time event, but a continuous process that requires strategy, creativity, and consistency. This means creating a profile that showcases your skills, achievements, and personality, and that attracts more opportunities, and advance your career.

However, landing your first NED role can be difficult, especially if you don't have prior board experience. 

In this session, we will have a showcase with a real-life story, the faced challenges and how to be prepared and overcome those challenges.
