Prince Albert Professional Development Summit – VIRTUAL

Sep 15, 2021 | 11:41 AM

With funding from Western Economic Diversification, and Community Future Prince Albert & District, The Prince Albert & District Chamber of Commerce is pleased to offer a unique learning opportunity for our community—learn how to share your expertise (and your business!) with the media and the public. (Due to rapidly changing Covid-19 numbers, this event will be held virtually. Registrants will be sent a link to the event.)

We’ve partnered with a leader in the industry.

In addition to running a successful communications company, Katrina German has won an international award for women in technology, released a book, been featured on the national show “The Social”, interviewed for a monthly segment on CTV Morning Live, and been on numerous panels and speaking gigs. She will be the facilitator for this group.

Who is this for?

• At a certain stage of their career who have an established area of expertise
• ​Ready to share their expertise widely​
• ​Willing to celebrate the success of the other members of the group

​What do you get out of it?

The Feel Goods:

• A true investment in yourself and your career
• A group of people who are dedicated to your success (and can help you get over imposter syndrome)
• A far deeper understanding of your current and desired professional image
• Deadlines… so that these activities don’t keep sliding to the bottom of your to-do list

That sounds nice, but what do I actually get?

If you commit to the process, by the end of the course, you will have:

• An understanding of how to pitch yourself to your new employer, media or investor
• A deeper understanding of your personal executive presence
• Access to a network of top business executives and entrepreneurs in Prince Albert & Area

What do I need to prepare before?

NOTHING—show up as yourself. We are going to walk you through this process; this is a time to focus on yourself and your career. There will be homework along the way, but it’s fun. 🙂
