The Kendra Scott Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership (WEL) Institute workshops are produced by the Blackstone LaunchPad at UT with support from the School of Design and Integrated Technologies to further their shared mission of empowering all students, especially women, to recognize the leaders and entrepreneurs that lie within. The first workshop, held at the Kendra Scott Headquarters, is on personal branding and how to effectively communicate unique values, skills and strengths to position attendees as leaders in work and in life.

During the event, there will be stations to help boost students’ personal brands from a makeup booth, skincare station, headshots for the first 100 attendees and social media strategy, to free customized planners and calendars. Female mentors from Kendra Scott and Dell Technologies will be present to connect with students and talk about their career journeys and backgrounds. Representatives from different UT Career Services will also be present to share more resources tailored to students’ specific career needs.

With 1 billion monthly active users sharing content on Instagram daily and 80% of all Instagram users following a business on Instagram, businesses cannot afford to get lost in the shuffle. Once an idea and business model is formed, where should founders begin?

In this workshop, participants will learn about why the visual content they create and share on their Instagram feed and stories is so vital for their businesses. We’ll focus on planning, management, aesthetic, storytelling, engagement, growth as well as shopping on Instagram, hacks, the latest rumors, and the best apps to use in order to make your content unique. The workshop will also touch on the tools creatives and marketers can use to simplify their planning process, how to work with influencers, and how to take advantage of the best user-generated content.

You should attend this workshop if you want a full and honest breakdown of Instagram from top to bottom without shady methods.

TAKEAWAYS

In this workshop, attendees will learn:

• How to create/post/engage with their followers

• Ins and outs of Instagram

• How to use all of the major features Instagram has to offer

EXPERIENCE LEVEL NEEDED FOR WORKSHOP

No previous knowledge or experience needed; however, it’s most helpful for attendees to already have (and be familiar with) an Instagram account.
