Slide deck for my presentation at Social Media Week at the University of Kentucky, April 2012. Topics include building a strong personal brand, creating a visual brand identity, and using social media to become more visible. The presentation is of greatest value to students in college or university thinking about how to position themselves for their career or entrepreneurial future.
