What Is a Personal Brand (And Why Does It Matter)?
Your personal brand is what people think of when they hear your name.
It’s how you show up online, in meetings, and across every interaction.
A strong personal brand tells prospects:
You’re passionate and committed
You’re credible and experienced
You’re a go-to expert for solving specific problems
The result? When someone in your network hears about a challenge you solve, you’re the first person they think of.
