OUR WORKSHOPS
LATEST WORKSHOP
“Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room”
Jeff Bezos founder of Amazon
Marketing ourselves and developing our own brand is becoming more and more important. No longer is it enough just to network or have a trademark style of dressing. The internet and social media is giving us a voice we never had before and has become a perfect place for us to promote our brand.
Come and join us at NABS on Wednesday the 21st of July at 3.30 – 5.00 for our first workshop on ‘Building Brand You’. In an interactive and fun atmosphere find out what your key differentiators are, how you add value, what your personality is and how you can begin to express ‘Your Brand’.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in please email Iwona@nabs.org.uk by Monday 19th of July to book a space, as places are limited. This workshop is free, but we would appreciate a donation amount dependent on what you thought the workshop was worth.
Below are details of just a few of the workshops we run - watch this space for dates or drop us a line.
We do not charge for our workshops, but a donation towards NABS is very much appreciated.

NLP

It will teach you how to portray a positive message through non-verbal signals, using NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) techniques.
