MEET THE FOUNDER
Cher Jones Personal Branding Trainer & Strategist
+ Content Creator + Speaker
When it comes to personal branding I am about as niche as the come! I don't work with job seekers or those who want to become #instafamous. I work with Corporate Leaders who actually LOVE their jobs and want to do well and grow at the companies they work for. They do exist. Shocking, I know!
You should also know this ain't my first rodeo. I’ve been mastering the art and science of personal branding and training within the social media space for over 10 years! And I am not just in this business because I am kinda young*ish, cool*ish and absolutely digitally savvy.
Everything I teach in my top-rated keynotes, workshops and programs has been developed over time with strategic intention and my Socially Active Training Curriculum is firmly guided by over 20 years of formal corporate communications, marketing and broadcast media experience. However, I am still an active student of the game, so my work is constantly evolving to reflect today’s best practices, technologies and trends.
But as the old saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. You can experience my deep knowledge, infectious energy and genuine passion for what I do when you check out my livestreams, videos, podcasts and all the other content I create.
In fact, LinkedIn's Editor & Chief officially recognized me as "Creator to Watch". Several pieces of my content are being used as examples in LinkedIn's upcoming best practices guide for Creators on the platform. And finally they've hired me to develop a LinkedIn Learning Course too.
As far as my other clients go, I’ve worked internationally with a variety of organizations including Lockheed Martin, HP, Rogers, Husky Energy, Stantec, C360, BPTN, Hong Kong Police, PokerStars, BlackBerry, Industrial Alliance, Meeting Planners International, The UK Trade and Investment, The Ontario Ministry of Education and UAE Steel and CBC to name a “few”.
