"...special thanks for your contribution to the RMIT MBA Marketing program during Semester 1, 2016. Having assessed the students personal reflections of their learning experience it became evident that our themed approach on personal branding, resonated as the most significant in the collective learning experience as recorded in both written and video-made reflections of my students.

The number of students who have committed to developing a personal website, repositioning their personal brand on LinkedIn and committed to updating their personal image is profound and rewarding to read."
