Your Brilliant Difference Podcast with Finka Jerkovic: Personal Branding for Career Advancement
The Your Brilliant Difference Podcast: Personal Branding for Career Advancement, has a new episode every Thursday. It’s produced to help mid-career corporate professionals and leaders use their personal brands at work to rise and shine in their careers, whether it be getting a promotion, finding fulfilling work, or bolstering their influence.
Hosted by Finka Jerkovic, the Founder and Career Advancement Coach at Finka Inc., this podcast is inspired by her corporate Your Brilliant Difference Program that has helped people across North America and Europe get promoted and noticed at work.
Your Brilliant Difference is a cutting-edge personal branding method that flips the script from “me” to “we” so people can focus on the transformations they deliver for people, as that’s where the true growth and results happen.
It wasn’t until Finka harnessed her own personal brand, Brilliant Difference, that she started making her own career opportunities to design a successful career pathway, and now she’s sharing this method with you.
After every episode, you’ll learn how to advance in your career through personal branding or skills that strengthen your personal brand, like communication and influence.
