TESTIMONIALS

Pavla Engel

Leader in Sales and Marketing at Expats.cz

“Honestly, I haven't spent much time thinking about my personal brand before or how to nurture it. But after this class, I realize the importance of asking myself some important questions: How do I want others to perceive me? What is important to me and my business? What is my personal story that I want to relate?  Thank you, key&spark s.r.o., for asking these thought-provoking questions and giving me much food for thought...  I highly recommend Dana Poul-Graf and Nina Weisslechner to everyone looking for ways to improve their personal image, business brand and guidance around these topics? They are TOP.”

Martin Howlings

“I’m relatively new to personal branding. I’ve been behind the computer screen for many many years and I step forward and I started to brand myself quite recently. I didn’t fully understand that I had an opportunity to push my own personality in quite the way that I thought I could. One of the things that I will think about in the future is when I’m making posts to LinkedIn or when I’m presenting I’ll make sure that those things are as close to my personal commitments as possible. I think it’s very powerful knowledge. It’s very important to make sure I stay authentic.”

KEN TREVOR

“Before this Masterclass, my perception of personal branding was that it’s something relatively new. I was hoping to discover how to move forward in communicating my own personal brand with confidence, and in an authentic and believable way. Nina and Dana gave a captivating presentation packed full of insights and actionable tips. There were also helpful question and answer sheets to guide attendees in defining their own personal branding journey. I’ve now started implementing the learnings and have every intention of continuing to do so. My thanks to Nina and Dana.”
