Are you being intentional about building your own personal brand?
Do you even see the need for building your personal brand?
Up until most recently, like many of you, I have associated brands and branding with consumer goods and products that we use every day. Due to gaining a better understanding of personal branding, I have since learned the importance of personal branding. What I have learned is that personal branding has more to do with determining what you want to be remembered for and how you are being portrayed by others. In other words, as you think about personal branding this is an opportunity for you to author your own interpretation of who you are rather than allow someone else to author their version of who they think you are or who they want you to be.
What I have come to realize is the fact that you don’t have to be famous or well known to build your own recognizable personal brand. It starts with you intentionally working to be the best version of yourself. Of course, we cannot expect this to happen overnight or that your personal brand will immediately be recognized, however, you can determine who you are, what you stand for and what you want to be known for. Building your personal brand starts with you!
