Maximize your Collaborative Efforts by Being Intentional with Your Office Brand
All businesses have a brand that creates a perception for their customers. A disability office is no different. Based on how your office functions, the language it uses, its customer service approach and more, students, faculty and staff develop a certain awareness and opinion of your office operations. A positive perception will maximize collaborative efforts. A negative perception will create a perpetual uphill battle. This session will explore some concepts of brand awareness and strategies to maximize your office brand.
