Nothing adds credibility to your business or personal brand quite like a bunch of press. Whether you’re a job hunter or an entrepreneur, it’s crucial to understand how to leverage online marketing! I’ll teach you all I can in this hour about how to become a subject matter expert in your space: this means pitching yourself to the media, selecting the right outlets, getting your articles published, and securing a large, targeted following on social media. Needless to say, it’s important you’re authentically YOU along the way.

hley Stahl left her successful career in national security to run her own business as a Speaker and Career Coach to Millennials around the world.

She spoke about this journey at TEDxBerkeley in February 2014, and her work has been featured in Mashable, The Huffington Post, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, The Daily Muse, SELF Magazine, CBS Sunday Morning, and more.
Ashley’s online programs and live weekend seminars empower 20somethings to find their purpose in the workforce, land more job offers and negotiate stronger salaries.

In 2012, Control Risks, a global political risk consultancy, recruited Ashley to manage the firm’s Global Threat Intelligence Team, which tracked and monitored security threats in hostile environments around the world.
