SUMMARY:Big Deal Energy: Personal Branding with Kim Bode
DESCRIPTION:This keynote is about discovering what makes you unforgettable\, owning it without apology\, and showing up consistently as yourself. \nEvent Description\nThose annoying people who seem to land every good opportunity aren’t the smartest people in the room; they just figured out how to be unforgettable and use it to their advantage. Discover what makes you memorable\, own it without apology\, and show up the same way in every room – unapologetically you. Your voice\, your story\, and your weird are your competitive advantage when everyone else is using AI to find their personality. \nBig Deal Energy is about embracing the messy\, imperfect\, quirky parts of yourself\, not as obstacles to overcome\, but as your greatest personal brand assets. This is when you become unforgettable; instead of chasing opportunities\, you are sought out\, referred\, requested\, and remembered. \nKey Takeaways\n\nWhy your voice\, story\, and quirks are your biggest competitive advantage\nHow to build a personal brand people actually remember\nWhy authenticity matters even more in an AI-driven world\nHow being “different” can attract opportunities instead of chasing them\n\nAbout the Speaker\nI’ve built a Forbes Top 200 PR (and many other awards – so many) agency over 19 years by being exactly who I am—ADHD with OCD tendencies\, dog rescuing (eight nine dogs)\, red wine with ice sipping\, f-bomb dropping\, and I didn’t succeed despite those quirks; I succeeded because of them. \n“I’m big enough to admit I am often inspired by myself.” — Leslie Knope \n					\n									Learn More and Register
