Presenting Yourself Professionally feat. Kim Mankiewicz, PhD, ELS

It takes more than skill to be valuable in the workplace and in your community.  Presenting yourself as a professional sets the tone and rules for your interactions.  In this event, Kimberly A. Mankiewicz, PhD, ELS, will explore professionalism in (and outside of) the workplace, including virtually.  She will discuss why presentation is important and how to best represent yourself when both writing and speaking to make the greatest impact.  She will also give some tips on how to nail your first impression so that you are remembered (for all the right reasons!).
