Business Workshop: Crafting Your Strengths-Based Personal Brand
with guest Nicole Bensen, owner Tentacles and Tea.
We are teaming up with chamber member Nicole Bensen, owner of Tentacles and Tea to bring you the professional tools to elevate your brand and your value just in time to set those 2026 goals. You don't want to miss this workshop.
Most people make the same 3 mistakes at networking events. These mistakes cost you clients, referrals, and connections. In this interactive 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to avoid those traps, get clear on your unique strengths, and practice with peers as you craft an elevator pitch that sparks curiosity and opens doors. You’ll walk away with a personal brand statement that helps you attract more opportunities you actually want in work and life—not just a forgettable summary of your resume.
During this workshop you'll:
- Craft a professional branding statement tied to your strengths and goals.
- Practice articulating your unique value with your “elevator pitch.”
- Gain tools to advocate for yourself in performance reviews, networking, and cross-functional work.
Nicole Bensen is an international speaker and workshop facilitator trusted by leaders at Fortune 500 companies, including Google, YouTube, Netflix, and eBay. Her engaging, team building conversations boost morale, reduce burnout, and increase retention, helping companies create a culture where people feel seen, supported, and inspired.
Recognized as a “Woman of Influence” by the Silicon Valley Business Journal, Nicole's innovative style transforms dry research into vibrant, interactive experiences designed for wellbeing and connection—aka, science-backed ways to be happier. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur focused on thriving and joy, she managed executive learning programs at Google. Learn more: nicolebensen.comWednesday, November 12th
