Positioning and Specialization

Emily Cohen

About this video

Description

This talk will focus on evaluating, defining and landing on a way to differentiate your firm or services within a highly saturated market. During your time with Emily, you will evaluate how to look at your business from a 30,000-foot view, understand the questions you should be asking and consider the pro’s and con’s of being a generalist vs a specialist. Not so subtle hint: this session will make a strong case for specialization and help you navigate all the perceived challenges and concerns you may have of taking a stand on who you are, who you work with and what you do.
