IE Talk for IENYC : "So, what do you do? – Presenting yourself to the world"

Most new conversations, in business and our daily lives, begin with a rather dull question: "so, what do you do?" In this interactive workshop we'll dive into how our self-perception is built, and how we can shape the mental image others make of us. By weaving in neuroscience, psychology and communication strategy we will get out of our comfort zone and hone an essential skill that is often overlooked. We'll also discuss how that translates from real conversations into our online presence, e-mails, and interactions in social media platforms.
