How to self-brand for success when you're starting from scratch
ABOUT THIS SESSION
What’s Your Name?! Who are you ...now that you don't really have a title. Regardless if you're starting your own venture out of choice, destiny, or due to a pink slip...you're beginning at Square One a.k.a. startin' from scratch! You are immediately charged with the task of creatively and authentically constructing the image, brand, reputation, and name that will be the key that opens doors for your offerings. Don't fall victim to your own commonplace ideas, lack of confidence, poor planning, and lack of resourcing! Don't just make an impression... make YOU absolutely unforgettable!
Take aways:
1. How to embrace the perspective that branding yourself to "stand out" is THE ULTIMATE OPPORTUNITY as an entrepreneur!
2. Explore priceless, simple, yet innovative marketing tools that perfectly match your needs
3. Understand which initiatives get the most out of your marketing/branding dollars and why
4. Brainstorm a timeline for initiating a powerful strategy of repurposable tools
Set your agendas, egos, and assumptions aside, folks. This is a truly interactive, brainstorming session where Kimberlie serves not only as educator and motivator, but also as a unique instigator of conversation, constructive criticism and collaboration from those sitting right next to you.

Location downtown: TBD

About RISE 2010: RISE is not your ordinary conference. Because RISE is designed for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs, the format is hands on, high energy and free flowing. RISE sessions are independently organized by hosts, each of whom chooses his/her own topic and session location. These peer-led forums are limited to 25 participants and take place all over Austin. During RISE, you may find yourself headed to conference rooms, coffee shops, classrooms or cultural centers. You’ll connect with entrepreneurs from multiple industries and backgrounds, along with leaders from universities, non-profits, neighborhoods and government. It’s a fun and highly educational ride, much like entrepreneurship itself. From March 1-5, aspiring entrepreneurs may attend free RISE Sessions led by successful members of the Austin business community. RISE is a non-profit initiative with no cost to participate. http://www.riseaustin.com
