Do you want to build your personal brand? And what if someone told you that there's no point in asking yourself this question? In fact, we're telling you now. Whether you like it or not, everyone has a brand. It's what people say about you when you're not in the room. It's your reputation and the opportunities that come your way. Everything you do or don't do is a reflection of your brand. The only question is, is it by default or by design? That said, having a strong personal brand doesn't mean you have to be the loudest, the craziest, or the most controversial person in the industry. The key is to have your audience trust you.
