Early in 2019, Shelley Carter approached me about sharing a keynote at the Gatineau-Ottawa Agile Tour conference. I’ve never been to Ottawa nor spoken at that conference, so I said yes. I asked Shelley to share the theme with me, it was: "Imagine the Future - Lessons from our Current Selves". And as a keynote, I tried to come up with a presentation topic that would align with the theme. I submitted some ideas and I was honored to have been chosen to deliver a keynote there.
I eventually came upon telling my story around brand-building. How I had, over the years, approached building my personal brand. The focus of the talk was that everyone should build their personal brand as part of their career and professional journeys.
