"It was an honor to be asked to share my knowledge at this prestigious event to help The Empowerment Network drive forward its focus of building community and continued success of all," said Farmer.

Farmer's presentation, "From Air to Icon: Creating a Strong Personal and Professional Brand," was inspired by the 2023 film "Air" and gave attendees ideas for telling their personal and brand stories.

"There are few brands more iconic than Nike. It is a quintessential example of how a brand can successfully weave its messaging into the fabric of our culture," said Farmer. "The movie's recent release and NBA great Magic Johnson giving the keynote remarks at this event set a perfect scene to discuss Nike's strategy with Michael Jordan and how we can apply it to business and personal branding. Compelling stories forge lasting connections, and we all have stories to tell."

Farmer explained The Strategic Story Map activity to participants during her presentation.

During the presentation, Farmer shared story mapping techniques and demonstrated how to identify key themes. She also explained how to structure stories and highlight the main characters.

Farmer has a long career history of delivering award-winning communication strategies for large-scale organizations, including Nebraska's largest school district and the Army Corps of Engineers. She founded Avant Solutions in 2019. The firm provides customized marketing and public relations strategies, media training and executive coaching to corporate, nonprofit and government organizations.
