If you've been thinking about joining the Rochester Chamber of Commerce it's a great way to connect with other local business owners!
Our Women’s Professional Support Group (PSG) recently welcomed guest speaker Ashley McKown of Edge Home Finance for an inspiring discussion on personal branding.
Ashley guided attendees through identifying their authentic strengths, the experiences that have shaped them, and the unique value they bring to others. She challenged the group to develop a memorable 10-second brand statement that clearly communicates who they serve, what they do, and why it matters. The conversation also highlighted the importance of intentional networking and maintaining a consistent digital presence to build trust and credibility.
Participants left motivated to refine their personal brand statements and update at least one digital touchpoint to better reflect their goals, purpose, and professional identity. Thank you, Ashley, for sharing your expertise and empowering our members to confidently tell their stories.
