In a time of challenges, academic leaders must lead with clarity, integrity and shared responsibility. This interactive workshop explores personal leadership branding as a tool to define your identity, values and contributions—grounded in ethics that promote collaboration, inclusion and collective growth. Through short presentations, reflective exercises and group discussions, you will craft authentic brand statements and explore how your leadership can build bridges, mentor others and elevate diverse voices. Emphasis will be placed on how a purpose-driven, ethical brand enhances visibility, credibility and influence, especially during transitions, institutional changes or advocacy and drives access and transformation in oral health education.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define the concept of personal leadership branding within the context of academic dentistry and institutional transformation and identify their core values, strengths and contributions through guided reflection and group dialogue.
  • Describe how personal branding can be grounded in ethics that promote inclusion, mentorship and collective growth.
  • Design an authentic personal brand statement that aligns with their leadership purpose and presence, explaining how a strategic personal brand can enhance credibility and influence during change, transition or advocacy.
