PPP 374 | Building A Strong Personal Brand Without Being A Self-Promoting Jerk

Building Your Brand Without Being Pushy What comes to mind when you think of personal branding? Some feel that personal branding is superficial. Or inauthentic. Instead of focusing on our brand, we should focus on developing expertise. Doing good work. And that good work will stand on its own. In this episode, we're taking this topic of personal branding head-on, and I'm joined by one of the most influential voices on the subject. Catherine Kaputa is recognized as one of the top 30 Global Branding Gurus and the author of five books on the topic. Today's discussion focuses on ideas in her new book, The New Brand You: How to Wow in the New World of Work. By the time we're done with this discussion, you'll see how personal branding applies to you, whether you're a student preparing for the workplace, someone trying to change industries, or someone feeling like you're just not getting the opportunities or promotions you deserve.
