People are now understanding the importance of Personal Branding. I’m also always telling Business Owners they need to have a LinkedIn presence too. Having platforms such as a website, blog, podcast, you tube channel, instagram / facebook also need to be taken into consideration as they have the ability to deliver value.
Personal Branding is often misunderstood.
For many people that haven’t tried Personal Branding, they assume it’s self-promotion and bragging. I couldn’t disagree more.
A Personal Branding Expert will never tell you to self-promote and brag. It’s all about positioning yourself as an expert in your field, then providing helpful, useful, interesting & entertaining information to your audience.
Do YOU and do YOU well.
