Growing Beyond Your Network:
Marketing Your Skills and Brand as an Independent Consultant

Having the confidence in building both your background and experience as a professional can be pivotal in marketing yourself as an independent professional. 

The general focus of the discussion was how to make yourself visible to various target markets by widening your connection base. Because of this, the need for the proper training has arisen to succinctly discuss one's background and skills to prospective contacts and clients.
