In this episode of Less Chatter, More Matter, Mel Loy sits down with Petra Zink—personal brand strategist, executive coach, and founder of impaCCCt—to talk about what it really takes to stand out, stay relevant, and future-proof your career or business. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or professional navigating a rapidly changing job market, this conversation will help you understand why personal branding isn't a buzzword—it's a business strategy. What you'll learn in this episode: 🔹 The #1 mistake professionals make with personal branding—and what to do instead. 🔹 How to structure your expertise using content pillars (so you're not posting aimlessly). 🔹 Why today's decision-makers don't take cold calls—and what that means for executives and recruiters. 🔹 The rise of multi-generational workforces (7 generations!)—and how leaders must adapt. 🔹 The role of AI in personal branding—and how to use it without losing authenticity. 🔹 Why 'just being good at your job' isn't enough anymore—and what high-profile executives are doing differently. If you've ever thought: 💭 "I know I should be more visible, but I don't know where to start." 💭 "I don't want to 'brag'—how do I brand myself authentically?" 💭 "How do I stand out in a crowded market?" …then this episode is for you.
