Episode notes
Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The first step in building an authentic personal brand is being congruent - that is, being in agreement or harmony - within ourselves.
Who we are is not what we do.
Because our stories shape our identity and influence our behaviour and interactions, showing up authentically comes with responsibility and judgement.
The significance of collaboration and collective leadership in today's world means that authentic personal branding plays a critical role in effective leadership in teams and organisations.
