Personal Branding - How to elevate yourself and your career!

Presented by:  Emma Jordan, SHRM-CP, LSSGB

Emma Jordan is a SHRM-CP certified HR professional and leadership speaker specializing in personal branding, influence, and career acceleration. With a background in strategic communication and Lean Six Sigma, she helps professionals intentionally elevate their visibility, credibility, and connections. Emma’s engaging, high-energy sessions challenge the myth that “hard work alone gets noticed” and instead show how strong personal brands and authentic networks drive opportunity. Known for her humor, candor, and practical takeaways, Emma reminds audiences that your network is your net worth—and your career depends on how well you build it.

In today’s workplace, career growth and organizational influence don’t happen by accident—they happen through intentional relationships, strategic visibility, and clear communication. This session challenges HR professionals to rethink personal branding as more than a résumé or LinkedIn profile and instead view it as a leadership tool that shapes perception, credibility, and impact.
Participants will explore how intentional networking strengthens relationship management within HR, how personal brand and professionalism influence leadership effectiveness, and how HR professionals can leverage their own brand to authentically tell the story of the employee experience. Through practical examples and actionable strategies, attendees will learn how to elevate their presence, expand their influence, and use their voice to help move their organizations toward becoming employers of choice.
