Additionally, she encouraged women to acquire the skills necessary to compete in the challenging corporate environment. She then delivered a presentation on the five ways to create a personal brand, which are as follows:
• Know who you are – what are your core values?
• Have a mentor.
• Contribute without expecting returns.
• Have the courage to ask for what you want and speak for yourself.
• What’s your story?
