The main theme of this course is "personal branding", and as such this course will explore effective strategies for maximizing your brand through your online identity and business networking, and also through increasing the status of your role by adding significant value to your job description.

A major aspect of improving your personal brand is knowing how to increase the level of personal assistance your provide to your boss.
