The Leadership Brand Advantage
Building your personal brand for executive excellence.
Whether you like to think about it or not, you have a brand. It defines who you are, what you stand for, what makes you unique, how you are great, and why you should be sought out. A brand conveys your identity and distinctiveness. It communicates the value you offer. Too often, however, there’s a disconnect between how we see ourselves and how others see us.
Have you outgrown your professional identity? If you have the wrong brand for the position you hold, or the position you want, then your work is not having the impact it could. Your brand may have supported your career goals earlier, but now it no longer reflects what you can do – or what you aspire to do. Too often your brand is about your skills at executing rather than strategic visioning and thinking.
Whether you’d like to convey greater gravitas or become a resource for strategic thinking and planning, align your leadership brand with the traits and skills needed to take your career to the next level.
