Step Up CPD - Personal Brand & Networking

We have listened to our community who want more online CPD workshops based on some key topics that aren't taught on 'traditional' leadership qualifications.

In an era where connection matters more than ever, understanding who you are and how you show up is essential for your leadership journey. This interactive online workshop will equip you with strategies to build a compelling personal brand and form meaningful professional networks that support your growth.

Why are we running this session?

Our community of developing leaders in education have asked for this vital topic to be covered. The majority of our community and network are looking for promotions or development within their current role, therefore this topic is essential to stand out from the crowd.

Who is this session for?

• Developing leaders in education.
• Early career and trainee teachers.
• Anyone looking to strengthen personal visibility and purposeful connection.

What will you explore as part of the session?

In this session, you’ll explore how to:

• Define your unique leadership identity and professional narrative.
• Amplify your presence in digital and in-person spaces.
• Build authentic networks that extend opportunity and support.
• Use networking as a tool for career progression and community impact.

How will the session be delivered?

Our CPD workshops are designed to be interactive. There will be some taught input, discussion and a coaching session

Through interactive discussion and real-world scenarios, this session will help you not just meet people, but create networks that matter and cultivate a personal brand that reflects your values and ambition.

Who is hosting the session?

This workshop is delivered by the Step Up Network CIC — a grassroots community and social enterprise empowering developing leaders in education to step up, thrive, and lead with impact.
