  YPS Leadership Luncheon: Stop Marketing Yourself Like a Resume

  How to Build a Personal Brand People Actually Remember

  Tuesday, November 10, 2026 | Featuring Kelly Martins

  Your personal brand is more than your LinkedIn profile, your job title, or a list of accomplishments. It's what people remember about you when you're not in the room.

  Join the Young Professional Society of Greater Springfield for our next Leadership Luncheon featuring Kelly Martins, Strategic Account Manager at Envision Marketing Group and owner of GRATI Consulting.

  With more than 15 years of experience in marketing, branding, and business strategy, Kelly will share practical insights on building a personal brand that reflects your expertise, communicates your value, and helps you stand out professionally.

  During this interactive session, you'll learn how to define what you want to be known for, turn your experiences into a memorable point of view, and create a visibility strategy that feels authentic to you.

  You'll even walk away with your own personal positioning statement and actionable steps to start putting it into practice.

  Because your career is more than a resume. Make sure your personal brand tells the whole story.

  Good food. Great company. Meaningful connections.

  This November, we're bringing the YPS community together for a Friendsgiving celebration that's all about slowing down, sharing a meal, and making genuine connections.

  Join us for an evening of cocktails, a delicious Thanksgiving-inspired dinner, music, and meaningful conversation. We'll even mix things up with Enough Said, an interactive experience designed to spark conversations and help you get to know the people around you.

  Whether you're reconnecting with familiar faces or pulling up a chair with someone new, there's a place for you at our table.

  Dinner is included in the ticket price. Cash Bar.
