Building on Your Success - from techie to strategist

You're an amazing technologist.  You knew data when it wasn't referred to as "big".  You are the go to person to solve functional user issues, streamline systems and expedite the speed of business.  You are in integrator, facilitator, mechanic and magician.  So with all your great technical knowledge, what else do you need to be successful in today's business environment?  It takes more than technical aptitude to thrive in today's organizations.  Businesses are looking at how individuals relate not only in a team setting, but in terms of understanding the business.

All about 'ME' - what is personal branding and how can it work for me?
Carolyn Dolezal, SmithBucklin
