Branding Room Only with Paula T. Edgar

Unexpected demands, curveballs, and complexity can show up in our year whether we plan for them or not. Life rarely follows neat outlines, even when we begin with vision boards and bold declarations about growth, visibility, or reset.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula Edgar explores the space between the year you thought you’d have and the year you actually lived—and why that gap matters to your personal brand. This episode introduces a personal branding reset grounded in alignment, clarity, and grace, guiding listeners to reflect on what to keep, what to cut, and what needs to evolve before planning what comes next.00:57 – What the difference between the year you planned vs. the year you lived tells you2:33 – Three keys to your personal brand reset3:20 – Reflective questions for what to keep4:17 – Reflective questions for what to cut out5:29 – Reflection on what needs to change6:15 – The impact of planning from a place of honesty instead of pressureMentioned In Before You Plan: How Reflecting on the Year You Lived Can Transform How You Show Up NextPGE January Free Webinar -  2026 Annual Intention and Goal Setting WebinarCurated Resources from PaulaPersonal Branding Strategy SessionsSubscribe to The Branding Room Only on YouTubeCall to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform! Want more ways to grow your personal brand?

If you’ve ever pulled a price out of thin air, matched a competitor without context, or quietly dipped into your savings to sustain your business, you’re not alone. Many entrepreneurs struggle not with numbers, but with the stories and habits they’ve learned about money. Financial behaviorist, coach, and creator of Pricing Made Human®, Jacquette M. Timmons, understands this deeply—and built her work around helping people see the emotional and behavioral patterns tied to their financial choices.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Jacquette and I unpack the real drivers behind pricing, business development, and confidence. She shares how a blunt question from her CPA—“When are you going to stop mortgaging your life?”—forced her to confront her own money patterns, even with an MBA in finance and years managing high-net-worth portfolios. We explore how upbringing, identity, and the desire to be chosen show up in how you charge, negotiate, follow up, and build a sustainable business.If you’ve ever hesitated to raise your rates, struggled to explain your value, or felt vulnerable during a pitch, this conversation gives you language, context, and strategy to shift how you approach money. You’ll walk away with new insight into your relationship with pricing, the role your personal story plays in your financial decisions, and what it takes to protect your financial future while growing your brand.1:41 – What personal brand means to Jacquette, how she (and I) would describe her, her favorite quote, and the musical genre (and DJs) that gets her hyped4:46 – How Jacquette’s childhood experiences and environments shaped and influenced her8:35 – Jacquette’s surprising early career path and how curiosity about human behavior fueled her focus on money psychology15:16 - How Jacquette helps her clients navigate their relationship with money17:24 – The pivotal question that inspired Pricing Made Human® and how one moment of truth redefined Jacquette’s business philosophy24:23 – Two mistakes people make when it comes to pricing or knowing their value26:53 – How business development triggers our insecurities 29:55 – The “five and five” exercise and how relationships influence money and business decisions32:26 – Examples of Jacquette’s impact on clients’ relationship with money in business development36:49 – The connection between confidence, money, and how you show up professionally38:48 – How Jacquette approaches business development for herself and what she wishes she’d done differently43:12 – What I learned about money and business development from working with Jacquette45:52 – How Jacquette refuses to let the world steal her joy47:19 – Jacquette’s commitment to focusing on money’s human side and warmth as her magical assetMentioned In Pricing Is Personal: How Your Money Story Shapes Your Personal Brand with Jacquette TimmonsJacquette TimmonsPricing Made Human®More Than Money with Jacquette TimmonsSponsor for this episodePGE Consulting Group LLC empowers individuals and organizations to lead with purpose, presence, and impact.

Your personal brand isn’t just about what you deliver. It’s how you show up. If you’re exhausted, stressed to the point of breaking, or gripping your way through the week, that comes through too. No amount of polish can hide what’s happening underneath when you’re not actually taking care of yourself.Jessie Spressart gets this. As founder and managing director of Optia Consulting, she helps law firms build cultures where people can do excellent work and be well at the same time. Her core belief is simple: doing your job well and taking care of yourself aren’t two separate conversations. They’re two sides of the same coin.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula and Jessie unpack what really stops professionals from prioritizing their well-being and how stress quietly builds long before it becomes a crisis. Jessie shares practical resets you can use in five minutes or less, and explains why chasing perfection undermines the consistency your brand actually needs. They also dig into what it takes for leaders to get more comfortable talking about mental health, and why your brand suffers when what you think, feel, and do are out of alignment.  1:19 — Jessie on personal brand, her three words, and her favorite quotes5:44 — How moving from New Jersey to Louisville shaped her7:48 — Jessie’s path from music historian to medieval history to law11:14 — How a temp job as a legal secretary became 13 years at a firm12:28 — The move from legal secretary to professional development13:56 — Starting Optia Consulting in 2019 before the pandemic15:44 — The shift from management training to well-being and mental health19:42 — Why personal branding (and well-being) is about consistency, not perfection22:09 — The biggest obstacles lawyers face around prioritizing well-being26:22 — Shifting well-being from a program to part of the culture28:39 — Mental Health Essentials for Leaders and why leaders must get conversant33:23 — Stress and energy tools that take minutes, not hours41:39 — Building a scaffolding of practices before you hit crisis43:29 — Brain, body, behavior — and how all three show up in your brand45:00 — Congruency and why misalignment kills your personal brand50:02 — The part of her brand Jessie will never compromiseMentioned In Self-Care Isn't Separate: Why Your Well-Being Shapes Your Brand with Jessie SpressartOptia Consulting LinkedInSign up for Upcoming WebinarsLearn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferFollow & Review: Help others find the podcast.

As the year winds down, most of us focus on thanking the people around us—mentors, colleagues, friends, and communities. What often gets left out is acknowledging ourselves. And when it comes to personal branding, that omission matters.In this episode of Branding Room Only, I break down why recognizing your own growth, resilience, and impact is one of the most strategic things you can do for your brand. I share the milestones and challenges that defined my year, the quieter wins that never make social media, and the mindset shifts that helped me stay grounded while building momentum.You’ll also get the reflection questions I use with myself and my clients, plus a reminder about a simple tool that captures the evidence of your evolution so you can quiet your inner critic and step into the next year with clarity.Self-gratitude isn’t ego. It’s truth. It’s how you honor the fact that you kept going, even when things were hard, and how you understand the story your brand is actually telling. Take a moment, pause, breathe, and give yourself credit for the work you’ve done and the progress you’ve earned.1:15 – How self-gratitude strengthens your personal brand2:19 – Reflection on my year and the quieter wins that shaped my growth and resilience4:59 – Questions to uncover your overlooked moments of pride and progress5:56 – Reminder of a practical tool to gather the evidence of your evolution8:00 – Gratitude as a strategic foundation for clarity in goal-setting for the year aheadMentioned In Self-Gratitude: The Personal Brand Strategy That Starts With YouPaula's Playbook: Engage Your Hustle™ – Conference EditionKeeping It 100: How 100 Episodes Expanded My Personal Brand, My Reach, and My VoiceHow Sharing Your Wins Strengthens Your Personal BrandCurated Resources from PaulaPGE December Free Webinar - Gratitude Starts Within: Celebrating Your Personal Brand MilestonesPGE January Free Webinar -  2026 Annual Intention and Goal Setting WebinarPersonal Branding Strategy SessionsCall to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform! Want more ways to grow your personal brand?

Trust is the backbone of every personal brand, whether you name it or not. It shows up in how you communicate, how consistently you follow through, how you handle hybrid work, and how you show sensitivity—or don’t—when people need it most. In a workplace culture filled with mixed signals, missed expectations, and performative “niceness,” trust has become the true measure of credibility. It determines whether people feel grounded with you or guarded around you, whether they choose to follow your lead or quietly disengage. And as Paula and Minda explore, trust isn’t a luxury; it’s the signal that shapes your reputation long before you enter the room.In this episode Paula sits down with bestselling author and workplace equity leader Minda Harts to unpack how trust shapes personal brands, leadership, and the everyday interactions that define your credibility. They break down how trust erodes in the quiet moments, what the Seven Trust Languages® reveal about what people actually need from you, and how to repair credibility once it’s been damaged. Together, they explore how trust influences hybrid communication, cross-generational dynamics, allyship, and the values-based behaviors that make a leader believable. If you care about how you’re perceived, how you lead, and how your brand lives in the minds of others, this conversation gives you the framework to strengthen every relationship you touch.1:15  – Three words to describe Minda right now, current hype songs, the self-quote on her mind these days, and the repeat track of her trust brand playlist3:34 – Why Minda’s latest book, Talk to Me Nice, matters in this moment4:44 – How Minda’s personal brand has evolved (but not pivoted) to leading conversations about trust6:50 – The communication crisis in the workplace and its impact on trust within organizations8:41 – Quick rundown of Minda’s Seven Trust Languages® framework 9:50 – Examples of why security is one of the most important trust languages today13:43 – Examples of trust violations that can damage your relationships and reputation17:32 – How managers in the workplace can begin to repair broken trust20:20 – The first step you can take to demonstrate trust and credibility23:16 – Follow-through as the key to building trustworthiness in a hybrid work situation (i.e., when you’re not in the same room)27:22 – Why it’s more important than ever to intentionally build trust31:55 – The difference between being performative and being demonstrative in allyship36:36 – Who’s on Minda’s personal trust squad and celebrities whose brands scream trustworthiness40:20 – What celebrity trust violations can teach others about values and brand alignment42:27 – Workplace best friends in the heads of Paula and MindaMentioned In Talk to Me Nice: How Trust Shapes Your Personal Brand with Minda HartsMindy HartsUsing Branding to Empower Women of Color for Success in the Workplace with Minda HartsHow to Assemble and Leverage Your Personal Board of DirectorsSponsor for this episodePGE Consulting Group LLC empowers individuals and organizations to lead with purpose, presence, and impact.

Bar associations and professional organizations aren’t just networking groups or résumé boosters. Leadership in these spaces is a strategic brand decision. These roles have shaped my visibility, credibility, and relationships in the legal profession, and so many of my opportunities came directly from these spaces.In this episode of Branding Room Only, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my civic journey—from volunteer to officer, from member to president—and showing how these roles became the foundation of my personal brand.Bar and civic leadership stretch your skills in ways your day job often can’t. They teach you how to lead teams, manage conflict, build consensus, raise resources, and work across differences. They pull you off the sidelines and into spaces where relationships deepen, community forms, and real impact happens.1:04 – Why professional and civic organizations are strategic brand platforms1:39 – A breakdown of how I currently serve my community2:39 – How leadership roles have helped me and can benefit you6:08 – The importance of intentional engagement and how to start7:18 – What leadership is and isn’t aboutMentioned In Don’t Just Join.

Brian Ellis learned what leadership looks like long before he had a title. His father modeled it first, and it shaped how he moved through every room. As the former Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Danaher Corporation, he built his career on integrity, accountability, and a deep sense of responsibility to those coming behind him. Power, to Brian, is something you use to make space and create access.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula and Brian break down inclusive leadership in practice: showing up for people, offering time and wisdom, and sponsoring talent that deserves a chance. Brian shares how setbacks built resilience, how mentors opened doors, and why he is “a fierce defender of my people.”At its core, this conversation is about legacy in real time—how every conversation, decision, and act of advocacy shapes the stories others will tell about you. Brian reflects on the influence of his father’s example, the responsibility of leadership, and what it means to measure success not by titles, but by the people you’ve lifted along the way. His story is rooted in character, community, and a legacy built person by person—and still growing.1:11 – How Brian defines personal brand, how he describes himself, and his favorite Maya Angelou quote and hype music4:26 – How family and the gritty, segregated Chicagoan environment shaped Brian6:23 – How a coach ruined Brian’s athletic career and changed the course of his trajectory15:33 – The foundation of Brian’s career success and how he developed his leadership style22:39 – Impact and importance of mentorship and taking constructive criticism28:28 – Why Brian uses his platform to champion and lift others up36:49 – Code-switching as a survival tactic while navigating professional identities44:12 – The formation and development of Brian’s legacy now and moving forward48:44 – What’s fun for Brian and his personal brand non-negotiable53:48 – The magic of Brian’s brand and his candid reflections on work-life balanceMentioned In Legacy in Real Time: Inclusive Leadership, Sponsorship, and Mentorship with Brian EllisBrian Ellis on LinkedInDanaher CorporationEqual Justice Works FoundationCurated Resources from PaulaSign up for Paula’s Upcoming WebinarsLearn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferCall to ActionFollow & Review: Help others find the podcast.

Feedback is often labeled “good” or “bad,” but that binary misses the point. In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula Edgar sits down with Rachael Bosch — founder of Fringe Professional Development and creator of Candorly — to explore why delivery matters as much as content and how consistent feedback can fuel and strengthen your personal brand.Rachael also shares her journey from Miami and the stage to law firm talent management and entrepreneurship, bringing humor, honesty, and practical insights along the way. Together, Paula and Rachael dig into authenticity as a scale (not a switch), the importance of agency in choosing environments that align with your values, and how leaders can treat feedback as data to close the gap between self-perception and how others experience them.1:25 – Rachael’s view on branding, three self-descriptive words, favorite Dolly Parton quote, and musical motivation (from Whitesnake to Beyoncé)5:41 – How the melting pot of Miami and her theater background influenced Rachael’s upbringing9:28 – Rachael’s shift from the arts into law and professional development15:30 – Why Rachael pursued entrepreneurship and launched Fringe Professional Development19:13 – The importance (and scale) of personal branding authenticity in professional settings25:29 – The importance of agency in choosing aligned working environments31:46 – How you can demonstrate to others that you receive feedback well35:18 – Feedback as a data set that should be analyzed (especially for the historically underrepresented)37:59 – Why good and bad feedback is about the delivery, not the content40:40 – How Fringe’s feedback tool Candorly works for individuals and organizations48:43 – The role of pop culture in Rachael’s professional trajectory and the uncompromisable component of her brandMentioned In Beyond Good or Bad: The Feedback Framework Every Professional Needs with Rachael BoschFollow Rachael on LinkedInFringe Professional DevelopmentCandorlySign up for Paula’s Upcoming WebinarsLearn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferFollow & Review: Help others find the podcast.

Real leadership isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters with consistency and care. Staying grounded in your purpose, your values, and your humanity is what separates longevity from burnout. The best leaders aren’t performing strength. They are practicing steadiness, empathy, and self-awareness.That’s what drives Daisy Auger-Domínguez. As President of Auger-Domínguez Ventures and author of Inclusion Revolution and Burnt Out to Lit Up, she has spent her career helping organizations like Google, Disney, and Vice prove that people and performance can thrive together. Her Dominican, Puerto Rican, and New York roots shape a leadership style that blends resilience, joy, and unshakable values.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula Edgar and Daisy explore how to lead with purpose while staying true to who you are. They share real-world insight on navigating burnout, building inclusive workplaces, and treating thought leadership as service rather than self-promotion. You will walk away with perspective and practical steps to build a career and a brand that sustain you.1:13 – Daisy’s definition of personal brand, three words to describe herself, and her favorite Buddha quote and hype song4:11 – The brand impact of growing up in the Dominican Republic and uptown New York6:50 – How Daisy’s identity, personal brand, and leadership were shaped out of necessity9:42 – How to manage and help leaders build a brand during challenging times13:21 – How Daisy serves as a fractional Chief People Officer (CPO) while maintaining her core brand values16:47 – The relationship between inclusion and personal branding and how burnout impacts leadership22:27 – Key strategy for dealing with empathy and energy drain so you don’t take on other people’s stuff24:22 – A view on pursuing recognition and visibility in a way that aligns with your personal values27:27 – Branding advice for leaders of the next generation28:33 – How to think about authentically building your brand as a thought leader33:44 – A practice you can start immediately to better align your brand with the kind of leader you want to be38:57 – What it means to build a career you don’t have to recover from and how personal branding helps create it40:54 – Daisy’s joy space, why she values dignity in her personal brand, and the magic she brings to a roomMentioned In Keeping It Lit: Purposeful and Authentic Leadership with Daisy Auger-DomínguezDaisy Auger-DominguezInclusion Revolution and Burnt Out to Lit Up by Daisy-Auger-DominguezLearn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferReflective QuestionsWhere did I learn? Where did I make myself proud? Where did I fall short this week? What energized me and what drained me? How can I redirect my energy?/What are the things that I can do differently?/What are the best ways to redirect my energy so that I can show up as the best version of myself?How will I continue to protect what I uncovered?Sponsor for this episodePGE Consulting Group LLC empowers individuals and organizations to lead with purpose, presence, and impact.
