When it comes to personal branding, there is a lot of conventional wisdom, information, and insight floating around the internet. From articles in business magazines and on LinkedIn to professional development workshops, training, and books - there are dozens of "experts" teaching others how to build their personal brand through conventional methods and wisdom. On the surface, most of this advice seems reasonable. However, if you dig a little deeper, you will likely find that the advice and wisdom they share is often counterproductive, ineffective, and even damaging. Keep Reading >> On today's episode, I'm discussing why everything you've learned about building your personal brand is wrong. I share the three most common myths about building your personal brand, how believing these myths can actually hold you back from achieving your professional goals, and how they can prevent you from showing up as the strong, confident, fierce feminine leader we know you can be. I also explain why your personal brand should be viewed as the byproduct of your decision to be deliberate and intentional and why the way you present yourself and your brand should reinforce your ideas, values, and mission in this world. "I wouldn't be where I am today if I had listened to the bad, but conventional, advice I received about personal branding." - Eleanor Beaton Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: The importance of aligning your personal brand with your instincts and values. Why building your personal brand is not a "fluff-filled activity." The dangers of taking advice from people with "unconscious competence." Why your reputation is critical to your long-term success. Why your presentation should reinforce your ideas. Why the idea that your personal brand is your lead indicator is wrong The importance of viewing your personal brand as the lag indicator - not the compass. Why your brand should be a natural byproduct of you being true to the things that matter most to you. Top 3 Myths About Personal Branding: Don't build your personal brand. Presentation trumps ideas. Building a personal brand constricts your freedom of expression and decisiveness. Fierce Leadership Quotes: "Bold presentation is going to be most powerful when it reinforces your ideas." "A brand is a return on investment. It is a lag indicator that you build from being intentional about your values, what you bring to the world, and the contribution you want to make." Don't lead with brand. Brand is the afterglow. Action and intention are the things that are going to get you where you want to go."
