Presented by APA West Michigan and Detroit Chapters

Do you ever wonder why it is that certain people achieve great success, while others don’t?  The answer may be that some haven’t created their own “personal brand.”  At Friday's luncheon, personal Branding Coach Jill Jordan will share with us why it’s imperative to create a strong personal brand to be successful.  With more than 20 years experience in sales, marketing and leadership development, Jill’s goal is to see more people live with purpose, passion and prosperity.

David Hart has extensive firsthand experience dealing with the challenges and rewards of high performance leadership and teamwork. As a former U.S Army Ranger and Pathfinder, he completed the most elite small unit leadership training in the world, spending three years in a Ranger Unit and five as an Army Pathfinder.  He has accumulated thousands of parachute jumps and decades of skydiving experience, including high profile jumps in to NASCAR Races, Major League Sports and even symphony performances. Don’t miss this uniquely enlightening, engaging and inspiring presentation for anyone seeking the tools to break out of their current routines, and to leap beyond their current status.
