I've been an active follower of Whitney Port's along her journey from a former reality TV star to the fashion designer behind Whitney Eve, and I think she's grown so much and is such an inspiration for anyone hoping to get into the world of fashion. She spoke about the importance of building your professional brand and having what it takes to persevere in such a challenging and competitive industry. She chatted with career expert Nicole Williams and gave some awesome advice. Here's a clip:
The event itself was also very cool. It took place on the 4th floor of the Core Club and there were stations set up with information on different resources that LinkedIn has to offer. I was personally drawn into the publishing platform because I really should be putting the effort into maximizing the content I'm putting out there (I highly recommend everyone else to do the same!). They also had a make-up station and photo backdrop set up, complete with professional photographer, to help people take a brand new profile pic. Fun!
This wasn't the first of these interactive LinkedIn events. They've previously had speakers including Rachel Zoe and Petra Nemcova.
